Recuperate IQ & Copper: Can This Mineral Unlock Your Energy? By PureClean Performance Published: Oct 10, 2025 Updated: Oct 10, 2025 In the pursuit of optimal health and boundless energy, the key to unlocking your full potential may lie in an often-overlooked mineral — copper. Recuperate IQ, a specialized formula from [Cu]re: Your Fatigue, is positioned to help those battling persistent fatigue by restoring copper-dependent pathways in the body. Why Copper Matters Copper is essential in multiple physiological systems: it aids in iron transport and hemoglobin formation, supports neurotransmitter synthesis, is a cofactor for antioxidant enzymes (e.g., superoxide dismutase), and...

Collagen Peptides with Amino Acids: A Powerful Combination for Health and Wellness By PureClean Performance Published: Oct 6, 2025 Updated: Oct 10, 2025 Collagen peptides have been studied for skin, joints, muscle and bone. Pairing collagen with a complete essential amino acid (EAA) profile can make the overall protein input more nutritionally complete—useful when you want connective-tissue support and robust muscle recovery. Understanding Collagen Peptides Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and a major component of skin, tendons and ligaments. Collagen peptides are smaller fragments produced by hydrolysis and are readily absorbed. What the Human Data Say...

Understanding L-Amino Acids vs D-Amino Acids: Essential Building Blocks of Life Amino acids are the fundamental components of proteins. Except for glycine, each exists as two non-superimposable mirror images (enantiomers): an L- form and a D- form. These mirror images can behave very differently in biology. The molecular mirror: what L and D actually mean L/D notation does not equal “levo/dextro” optical rotation. L and D are assigned by comparing a molecule’s configuration (in a Fischer projection) to that of reference D-/L-glyceraldehyde. Some L-amino acids rotate plane-polarized light to the right (+), and some D-amino acids rotate it to the...

The Hidden Dangers of Synthetic Multivitamins: Why Whole Foods Reign Supreme It’s tempting to reach for a “catch-all” multivitamin, especially when hunting for the best multivitamin for men over 50. Reality check: supplements can help, but they’re not a panacea—and synthetic, isolated nutrients can behave differently in the body than nutrients packaged by nature in food. The Synthetic Dilemma Many popular multis rely on lab-made (synthetic) nutrient forms. Molecules can be chemically identical yet differ in isomer mix, cofactor context, or dose. Evidence on “synthetic vs. natural” bioavailability varies by vitamin: for some (e.g., vitamin C), trials show similar uptake;...
