We all want to live our best lives even as we age.

In The Natural View podcast with Todd Pauli and Maggie Jaqua, they have special guest Shawn Baier, VP of Business Development at TSI Group, to discuss healthy aging, overlooked component, and nutritional ingredients to promote healthy aging.

Healthy, Active Aging

There are many various categories to focus on when we talk about healthy aging like joints, bones, and cognitive health. One area that tends to get overlooked when it comes to healthy aging is muscle health.

Unfortunately, we will all experience age-related muscle loss and if not addressed at all it can become a debilitating issue. Our muscles carry out the physical demands of life and preventing muscle loss is easier than trying to restore lost muscle mass and strength.

Muscles Meet myHMB

The good news is there is an ingredient that is clinically proven to help prevent muscle loss – myHMB, scientifically known as beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate or HMB.

HMB in the past has been predominately known as a supplement for bodybuilders to help build muscle and improve recovery, but there is an array of research showing its potential in aging demographics to help prevent muscle loss during times of inactivity like bed rest after an illness or injury. HMB can benefit any individual that wants to improve quality of life as we age.

Healthy Aging at a Cellular Level

We all experience oxidative stress in our lives, and while we can mitigate some of it, we cannot eliminate it. Factors such environmental factors, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, alcohol, overexercising can all cause oxidative stress and when excessive oxidative stress happens it creates highly reactive molecules called free radicals and these can have a negative impact on the health of our cells and bodies.

A Radical Approach to Cellular Health

Hobamine, or 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA), is a naturally occurring compound that is at the forefront of new developments to support cellular health, particularly as we age.

Hobamine (2-HOBA) works by rapidly capturing specific reactive compounds formed by oxidative stress. This capture prevents those compounds from binding to and damaging other cellular components like proteins, lipids, or DNA and impeding normal function of the cell.

TSI Group is proud to announce that 2023 Nutrition Research Project of the Year Award from NutraIngredients-USA goes to the NIH-funded Hobamine study.

NutraIngredients-USA Awards persist in acknowledging excellence within the dietary supplement industry. With 17 different categories to enter, the awards honor the best and brightest ingredients, finished products, companies and people in the nutrition industry.

Hobamine’s Award Winning Study

The new NIH-funded study on Hobamine, Inflammation Biomarker Response to Oral 2-Hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) Acetate in Healthy Humans, received the Nutrition Research Project of the Year Award.

This study showed the impact of 2-HOBA (Hobamine) supplementation on inflammatory biomarkers in healthy individuals and addressed the concern of maintaining a balanced immune system to prevent the progression of several diseases associated with chronic inflammation. The findings of the study suggest that supplementing with 2 HOBA (Hobamine) can support a balanced immune system by enhancing inflammatory biomarkers in healthy individuals and reducing the levels of the protein TWEAK, which stimulates inflammation and tumor development.

“This interesting and well-designed study, funded by NIH, found that 2 HOBA (Hobamine) supplementation may promote a healthy balance of the immune system by improving inflammatory biomarkers in healthy individuals. Published in a peer review journal that indicates strong credibility, and it therefore provides opportunities for formulators and developers to add Hobamine, to their immune focused formulations, enabling healthy individuals to be more proactive about maintaining their immune readiness. The novelty of the ingredient and the impacts on inflammatory markers in healthy people really helped this project stand out,” stated Stephen Daniells, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of NutraIngredients-USA.

Ingredients for New Age Cellular Health

Author Mike Montemarano from Nutraceuticals World takes a look at ingredients that aim to extend health span from a cellular level.

Science continues to evolve on the human body and how there are key markers in human cells and DNA that can give us a better idea on the aging process. With this new knowledge, many specialty ingredients are coming to the forefront to help try to set back our cellular clock.

Hallmarks of Biological Age

“Even though there is still no consensus about whether aging is biologically programmed, almost all gerontologists agree aging is a clinical disease responsible for the vast majority of deaths among the world’s populations,” said Marianne McDonagh, Vice President of Sales for Bioenergy Life Science, Inc.

Telomerase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the maintenance and protection of our DNA. It is responsible for the extension and preservation of telomeres, which protect caps found at the ends of our chromosomes. The production of telomerase declines with age, and the shortening of telomeres has been linked to various age-related diseases.

Another important process that has been linked to cellular health is the process of senescence. This is where the cells are unable to continue to multiply even in optimal conditions. This process increases with age and can cause cells to express pro-inflammatory cytokines and other toxins that impair tissue function.

“All of these hallmarks represent a reason why the aging of our cells can affect our lives significantly. With a longer lifespan, we don’t always experience a longer health span or high quality of life,” said Shawn Baier, Vice President of Business Development at TSI Group. “It is important to note that supplementation won’t completely reverse cellular aging, but it can address some of the negative effects connected to it.”

Emerging Ingredients

Researchers are looking at ingredients to address cellular health, specifically looks at two primary outcomes:

• Inducing the death of senescent cells

• Improving mechanical integrity of healthy cells

TSI Group has recently launched the branded compound Hobamine (2-HOBA). A recent NIH-funded study published in Inflammation showed that 2-HOBA was linked to positive changes in 15 inflammatory biomarkers in two small cohorts of younger and older adults. This ingredient has the potential to ameliorate age-related declines in the immune system’s ability to self-limit its responses. 2-HOBA works as a scavenger of a pro-inflammatory reactive lipid called IsoLG. This can help to prevent the body’s formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from cascading out of control. As a result, ROS are neutralized before they react with DNA, proteins, and other components of the cell.

NEW Study Shows 2-HOBA Supplementation has a Promising Impact on Immune Health.

TSI Group is proud to announce positive results from a recent NIH-funded study on the impact of 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA), TSI’s branded ingredient Hobamine, on inflammatory biomarkers.

Balance is Essential to a Proactive Approach to Immune Health

The NIH-funded study, published in the journal Inflammation, found that supplementing with 2-HOBA improved as many as 15 inflammatory biomarkers in healthy individuals, thereby promoting a healthy balance of the immune system.

“Normally, inflammation is self-limiting, and its resolution is the first step in the repair and regeneration of injured tissues. Failure of inflammation resolution can lead to the progression of several diseases,” says John A. Rathmacher, Ph.D., Director of Clinical Research and Laboratory Services at MTI BioTech, Inc. That’s why a balanced immune system is incredibly important.

Opportunities for Immune Formulations

“These results enable us to enter a new space in immune health and will guide us in future research,” comments TSI Group Vice President of Business Development Shawn Baier, M.S., M.B.A. “More significantly, this opens opportunities for formulators and developers to add Hobamine to their immune formulas because it clearly enables healthy individuals to be more proactive about maintaining their immune readiness.”

This concept of immune readiness is perhaps what Baier finds most exciting. “If you don’t have 2-HOBA present, and your body creates these highly-reactive, proinflammatory compounds, it could begin an unhealthy snowball effect. Having 2-HOBA on board means it’s ready and there when it’s needed. It supports your immune system’s ability to stay in balance, even when you are exposed to oxidative stressors.”

2-HOBA for Cellular Health

March 24, 2023

No Comments

TSI Group’s new compound, Hobamine (2-HOBA) has shown to support cellular health through a unique mechanism.

As science continues to advance, looking at health at a cellular level has more prominant.

“Cellular health matters because it has an important impact on how well our bodies function, repair themselves, produce new body tissue, and much more,” according to Shawn Baier, vice president of business development with TSI Group’s Innovative Products Division. “As we all know, our immune system and how it responds to various stimuli has an effect on our cellular health, both positively and negatively. Cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form systems that make up the body. Cellular health is the microscopic version of overall health—the healthier our cells, the healthier our body will be since our cells will be working optimally and efficiently with one another. “

A Radical Approach to Cellular Health

Oxidative stress is the primary cause of cellular damage. Excessive oxidative stress causes a buildup of a specific class of free radicals that can cause harm to the body. Unfortunately, it’s merely impossible to eliminate all oxidative stress from our lives because of factors such as environment, poor nutrition, excess alcohol, lack of sleep, stress, and/or simply aging.

Hobamine (2-HOBA), a bio-identical, chemically synthesized version of the naturally occurring compound 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) found in the buckwheat plant can help combat oxidative stress. What makes Hobamine unique or even radical is that it works by acting specifically against compounds responsible for oxidative damage without blocking the processes needed for healthy cell function.

“Hobamine (2-HOBA) represents a paradigm shift in the approach to reducing the impact of oxidative stress because it is a selective scavenger of high-impact reactive oxygen species (ROS), specifically isolevuglandins (IsoLGs), but doesn’t interfere with or blunt fundamental physiological processes,” said Baier. “Therefore, 2-HOBA helps to return the healthy balance our cells and bodies need.”

As you may know, antioxidants play a crucial role in protecting the body from oxidative stress and damage, which can lead to a variety of health issues. However, recent research suggests that the traditional approach to antioxidants may not be as effective as once thought.

The article delves into these new findings and discusses the latest breakthroughs in antioxidant research, including novel compounds and delivery systems that are changing the game.

The Paradigm Shift

There has been a paradigm shift in the traditional approach to health. Cellular health is a new foundational approach to aging and wellness.

“Cellular health matters because it has an important impact on how well our bodies function, repair themselves, produce new body tissue, and much more,” according to Shawn Baier, vice president of business development with TSI Group. “As we all know, our immune system and how it responds to various stimuli has an effect on our cellular health, both positively and negatively. Cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form systems that make up the body. Cellular health is the microscopic version of overall health—the healthier our cells, the healthier our body will be since our cells will be working optimally and efficiently with one another.“

A Radical Approach to Cellular Health

A new ingredient known as Hobamine (2-hydroxybenzylanmine 2-HOBA) is at the forefront of new developments to support cellular health, particularly as we age.

Hobamine works by acting specifically against compounds responsible for oxidative damage without blocking the processes needed for cell function.

“Hobamine (2-HOBA) represents a paradigm shift in the approach to reducing the impact of oxidative stress because it is a selective scavenger of high-impact reactive oxygen species (ROS), specifi ally isolevuglandins (IsoLGs), but doesn’t interferewith or blunt fundamental physiological processes,” said Baier. “Therefore, 2-HOBA helps to return the healthy balance our cells and bodies need.”

Hobamine – A Breakthrough Hero

January 19, 2023

No Comments

Ingredient supplier TSI Group sits down with Nutritional Outlook to discuss how Hobamine (2-HOBA) is a “breakthrough” ingredient for cellular health.

As an ingredient for healthy aging, Hobamine has a new unique method to combat oxidative stress without blocking normal physiological function and pathways.

What exactly is Hobamine?

Hobamine is a form of the naturally occurring compound 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA). Hobamine works by rapidly capturing specific reactive compounds formed by oxidative stress. This capture prevents those compounds from binding to and damaging other cellular components like proteins, lipids, or DNA and impeding normal function of the cell.

Why Hobamine Over Antioxidants?

Antioxidants may not be ideal because they block the development of oxidative stress altogether. While that sounds like a good thing, our bodies need reactive oxygen species (ROS) which are created during the process of oxidative stress. Our body needs normal levels of ROS because they are needed for cell signaling and immune system defense.

Instead of consuming high amounts of antioxidants, TSI proposes supplementing with Hobamine.

Hobamine – A Breakthrough Hero

“The Hobamine story is about the villain versus the hero. The bad guy is what happens when everyday stress results in highly reactive free radical compounds. The hero, Hobamine, sweeps in to lock out the bad guys, creating a compound that is mere waste.” – Shawn Baier, MS, MBA, Vice President of Business Development at TSI Group

TSI states that Hobamine is the only nutritional intervention on the market to address the negative impact of oxidative stress without blocking the body’s normal, healthy processes.

Greg Macpherson, biotechnologist and founder of SRW Laboratories sits down with Naturally Informed to discuss cellular health, oxidative stress, and how Hobamine can play a role in this.

Biotechnologist and founder of SRW Laboratories Greg Macpherson arms crossed in front of a brick building

For more than 30 years Greg Macpherson has worked in the health arena, with a focus over the last decade in the biotechnology sector. He has been specifically studying the aging process at a cellular level. This work led him to writing the book Harnessing the Nine Hallmarks of Aging and then founding the company SRW Laboratories which focuses on formulating natural products to slow the onset of aging and disease.

The Importance of Cellular Health

Cell are the building blocks of the body. They provide your body’s structure and carry out specialized functions important to your health and wellbeing.

Aging begins within your cells, however it’s only recently that scientists have been able to identify what can cause aging in the cells.

Oxidative stress has been shown to be one of the major causes of cellular damage in all human beings. But luckily a new ingredient has proven to bring hope to blunting damage from oxidative stress.

Ingredient at the Forefront of Cellular Health

“Hobamine (2-HOBA) represents a really significant advance in the approach to reducing the impact of oxidative stress because it acts as a circuit breaker between the downstream of fits of oxidative stress and something called an isolevuglandins which is a highly reactive molecule. It’s actually the real reason that oxidative stress is so bad for us and Hobamine does this without blurring what they call healthy reactive oxygens signaling.”
