HTBA's Teresa Pellicer & Bernardo Gonzaga reveal MecobalActive B12 clinical study showing superior methylcobalamin bioavailability | Podcast #196
Lift Energy delivers 250mg Cognizin and 5,000mg goBHB for stimulant-free focus and metabolic fuel without caffeine jitters or crashes.
Complete guide to alpha lipoic acid covering bioavailability, clinical benefits, proper dosing, and why sodium-stabilized forms outperform others.
PeptiStrong is a natural anabolic peptide network that functions as a muscle building ingredient, developed by Nuritas and found in fava beans.
C4 Energy Shots deliver 200mg caffeine plus beta-alanine and betaine in portable 2oz bottles. NSF Certified for Sport, three flavors, zero sugar.
Most alpha lipoic acid supplements fail because of a stability problem that destroys absorption. Standard R-alpha lipoic acid polymerizes into chains your body can't absorb, while racemic forms dilute potency with biologically inactive S-enantiomers.
Sodium-stabilized Na-R-alpha lipoic acid (specifically Nutristat Na-R Lipoic Acid) solves this completely, delivering up to 40 times greater bioavailability than unstabilized forms. Learn why pharmaceutical-grade sodium salt formulations achieve therapeutic plasma concentrations while standard products fall short, and discover the clinical research on dosing, mechanisms, and applications for metabolic health, neuroprotection, and antioxidant support.
We've updated our PeptiStrong article with a new 2025 human study showing impressive results. Mohan and colleagues found that 2.4 grams daily of this AI-discovered fava bean peptide network produced 17% greater strength gains during resistance training compared to exercise alone, despite participants consuming only 1.2g/kg bodyweight of dietary protein.
The study also revealed unexpected benefits for bone mineral content and muscular endurance. This adds to two previous 2023 trials demonstrating 144% better strength recovery and reduced fatigue. Nuritas used their Magnifier AI platform to identify these pro-anabolic peptides that activate mTOR and modulate key myokines. Read the full updated article to see how AI is transforming supplement discovery.
Not all B12 forms deliver equal bioavailability or stability. In Episode #196 of the PricePlow Podcast, HTBA's Teresa Pellicer, PhD and Bernardo Gonzaga reveal clinical study data validating MecobalActive methylcobalamin's superior bioavailability in athletes who aren't deficient.
This deep dive explores the molecular mechanisms, manufacturing innovations, and pharmacokinetic evidence behind their next-generation methylcobalamin ingredient. Learn why methylcobalamin represents the biologically active form your body actually uses, how HTBA solved methylcobalamin's notorious stability challenges, and what the clinical data means for supplement formulators.

Ready to ditch nicotine pouches and reduce caffeine in 2026? Ultra Focus Pouches use enfinity paraxanthine for clean cognitive enhancement without addiction or jitters. The formula combines TSI Group's clinically-backed paraxanthine with Alpha-GPC, L-theanine, Panax ginseng, and B vitamins to deliver sustained mental clarity through rapid oral absorption.
Unlike nicotine pouches that create cardiovascular stress and dependency, or caffeine that leaves roughly half the population jittery due to genetic metabolizer status, paraxanthine provides the focus benefits without problematic metabolites. Same ritual, better results, and a sustainable path forward for anyone looking to break free from stimulant habits that no longer serve them. Learn how Ultra Focus Pouches can help you reclaim your focus in 2026.
Brew Shockalaka, the zero-sugar nootropic coffee with 200mg caffeine and 100mg CognatiQ, just landed at three major fitness chains. The RTD beverage that's been turning heads since our podcast coverage is now available at Onelife Fitness, The Edge Fitness Clubs, and Fitness Connection locations spanning the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Georgia, Texas, and Nevada.
This fitness-first expansion strategy is paying off for the brand that delivers cognitive enhancement without carbonation or sugar crashes. With all three dessert-inspired flavors now hitting gym coolers nationwide, members can grab functional coffee that actually works as pre-workout energy. Read the full breakdown of which locations carry it and why the no-fizzle formula is perfect for training.
Arjuna Natural's Shoden-R ashwagandha just claimed the Ingredient Idol award at SupplySide Global 2025 for the relaxation category. This root-only extract delivers clinically-backed benefits at just 60mg per serving and finally makes ashwagandha viable in beverages, gummies, and RTD formats thanks to its water solubility and clean taste profile.
Unlike traditional ashwagandha extracts that require 300-600mg doses and struggle with opacity and sediment in liquids, Shoden-R's 35% withanolide glycoside standardization enables superior bioavailability and formulation flexibility. With completed clinical research on cortisol awakening response awaiting publication and proven stability across pH ranges and heat processing, this award-winning ingredient opens new possibilities for brands targeting functional foods and convenient on-the-go stress management solutions. Learn why Shoden-R is changing the ashwagandha game.
A new 8-week study shows that BHB supplements helped dieters lose fat while preserving lean muscle mass. This is critical for anyone cutting calories, but especially important for GLP-1 medication users who can lose up to 40% of their weight as muscle tissue.
The randomized controlled trial found that participants taking 10g of BHB daily during caloric restriction significantly reduced body fat percentage and improved their lean-to-fat ratio, with no decline in muscle mass. Meanwhile, the placebo group showed no such improvements. Read the full research breakdown to learn how BHB may protect your hard-earned muscle during your next cut.
