Over the last five years, nearly all of the major information
technology companies have launched some sort of healthcare initiative. The
COVID pandemic, with its surging demand for telemedicine and rapid exchange of medical
data, only intensifed that trend.
But some tech giants have learned the hard way that healthcare is
very different from other business sectors.
What is the common theme underlying nearly all of the diseases associated with aging? Mitochondrial dysfunction. It is a simple biological fact that mitochondrial function tends to decline with age. This affects every organ and every tissue in the body. But clinicians often fail to consider “mitochondriopathy” as they treat the various diseases that their […]

Paraprobiotics
could be just what your patients need for a better life. Pre- and probiotics
have become mainstream solutions for improved overall wellbeing, but research
has revealed that paraprobiotics–heat-killed probiotic strains–can also have
very specific benefits. Paraprobiotics also deliver the added advantage of a
longer shelf-life without the need for refrigeration.
In this
free webinar, Danielle Citrolo, PharmD, and Shintaro Ichikawa, PhD, will
discuss how paraprobiotics will benefit your patients. They will introduce you
to IMMUSE and EYEMUSE, two branded forms of clinically studied strains that help
to bolster immune function and vision by stimulating immune cells within the
gut and the retina. IMMUSE is currently supported by eleven human trials and
EYEMUSE is supported by two studies.
In this
webinar, you will:
Gain an
understanding of what are paraprobiotics, and why they could be a good
alternative to probiotic strains in your practice.
Learn the
importance of the immune system and its role in overall health.
Understand
the ability of paraprobiotics to influence the immune system for improved
health outcomes.
Learn about
the published clinical research behind the unique paraprobiotic strains used
for IMMUSE and EYEMUSE.
