ErgoActive® L-Ergothioneine is a potent antioxidant that works inside cells to combat oxidative stress. While ergothioneine is synthesized mainly in mushrooms, fungus and soil bacteria, human cells express a transporter highly specific to ergothioneine. Despite not being produced in the body, ergothioneine is present in nearly all human cells, suggesting its significance in supporting human health. An in vitro study demonstrates that ErgoActive ® preserved telomere length and reduced the rate of telomere shortening under oxidative stress conditions, supporting the benefit of ergothioneine for healthy aging. Emerging science shows potential cognitive, immune, prostate and cardiovascular health benefits.

L-TeaActive® L-Theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves that aids in a healthy stress response by potentially reducing cortisol, the stress hormone in the body, and increasing brain alpha wave activity. Research indicates that L-theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier, 10 and supplementation of L-theanine has been known to reduce stress, particularly in individuals under stressful conditions.

Vitamin K consists of a group of fat-soluble vitamins that are considered essential to support human health. Known as menaquinone (MK), vitamin K2 is a type of vitamin K found in animal products and fermented foods. Vitamin K2 is a crucial vitamin for supporting heart and bone health. The two major forms of vitamin K2 are MK-4 and MK-7. The number denotes the number of isoprenoid residues in the side chain. MK-4 is naturally synthesized in mammalian cells and is the form that is most studied. MK-7 is naturally produced by fermentation and is discovered to have greater bioavailability. Blue California offers both MK4 and MK7 forms of vitamin K2 for your needs.

Blue California’s clean label alternatives are excellent options to replace titanium dioxide (E171). These patent-pending alternatives are industry-changing, with brilliant whitening power. These whitening agents have been proven in many applications, including chewing gum, tablets, candy/confectioneries, dairy, plant based meat alternatives, protein foods, beverages, condiments and sauces, and bakery.

Taxifolin BC-DHQ® known as one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, taxifolin is a flavonoid found in a variety of foods, including apples and onions, as well as milk thistle and larch trees. Emerging research suggests taxifolin may support immune, respiratory, skin and cellular health benefits. Taxifolin’s powerful antioxidant properties also make it a perfect natural alternative to synthetic chemicals for food preservation.
