Plasmalogens play a key role in the health of cell membranes, their concentration helps to regulate the cell's fluidity and thus overall function. Plasmalogens display unique structural qualities that allow your brain to function at a quantum level. Although plasmalogens are essential to the brain and nervous system, they are also found throughout the body with higher amounts in important organs like the heart, kidneys, lungs, and eyes. Acting as the front-line antioxidant in the body, plasmalogens help to defend against free radicals through their potent anti-inflammatory properties. ​Having optimal levels of plasmalogens is paramount and essential in order to improve health and longevity.

 

There are two main categories of plasmalogen supplements, omega-9 and omega-3. They each hold unqiue properities that allow them to serve not only as molecules of longevity, but of nervous system repair and regenration. 

 

• Omega-9 containing plasmalogen precursors are important in optimizing cell function and are key for nervious system repair. Areas with large quantities include the heart, nervous system myelin within the brian and nerves.

​

• Omega-3 containing plasmalogen precursors are crucial for improving cellular functions of brain gray matter nuclei. They optomize overall nerve functionality including neuromuscular synaptic function.

 

In healthy young individuals the body can normally make plasmalogens as needed. However, as we age or develop a multitude of neurodegenerative disorders and other disease states, our ability to produce enough plasmalogens to repair and have optimal cellular functions becomes impaired. We now have the ability to precisely elevate specific plasmalogens of interest in order to promote health and well-being. These plasmalogens have been clinically shown to improve diseases/disorders such as: Dementia, Parkinson’s, Cognitive decline, Autism, Chronic inflammatory response syndrome (aka fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue/covid long-haulers), multiple sclerosis, ALS, ADHD, post concussive syndrome, TBI etc.

 

Nuerth Medicine engages in preventative medicine by using plasmalogens to protect against various degenerative conditions. Plasmalogens improve cognitive abilities and mobility. In addition, they resolve the lipid peroxidation of the cell membrane that would otherwise lead to cellular dysfunction and eventual disease states. These agents also allow us to repair the sequelae of lipid perioxdation which is eventual cellular membrane and nervous system degradation.  

 

We believe future research will continue to showcase the incredible power of plasmalogens to not only improve additional disease states but to prevent them as well.

The future of medicine is exciting!
