THE SCIENCE OF HEALTHY AGING

 

THE FOOD OF HEALTHY AGING

 

THE FUTURE OF HEALTHY AGING

STARTS WITH HALO

A GLOBAL CHALLENGE

Today, chronic illness is the greatest health threat on the planet. Poor diet and metabolism, weak immunity, chronic inflammation, and aging are at the core of chronic illnesses and diseases.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 60% of U.S. adults have at least one chronic disease, while 40% have two or more. It accounts for 85% of all healthcare spend.

Two thirds of the population are overweight, obese, pre-diabetic, and diabetic. It’s an epidemic.

INTRODUCING NATURALIN®

At Halo, we’re focused on addressing the underlying causes of chronic conditions and illnesses. Our years of research and development have lead us to Naturalin, and its downstream metabolites, which influence longevity.

Naturalin is a multifunctional bioactive suited for fortifying foods, supplements, medical foods, and therapeutics.

Preclinical Study

Mechanisms & Function Highlights

The following represents key learnings related to the mechanisms of Naturalin’s core compounds.

Signaling

Naturalin signals multiple cell types, signals and translocates GLUT4 proteins, and increases glucose uptake compared to leading drugs.

(Naturalin®) vs. (Insulin)

Inhibition

Naturalin is among the most potent known CK2 inhibitors. It inhibits α-Glucosidase, Fatty Acid Synthase, and stops coronavirus exocytosis.

Antagonism

Naturalin antagonizes SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) interactions blocking binding 83%.

Activation

CK2 activates thermogenesis supporting weight wellness and potentiating amelioration of diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance.

CHALLENGING CORONAVIRUS WITH POLYPHENOLS

In preclinical studies, Naturalin has demonstrated antagonism of SARS-CoV-2 Spike-protein and ACE2 receptor reducing binding and replication by 83%. Naturalin inhibits CK2, which has been shown to trap coronaviruses in a cell’s nucleus until immune-mediated cell death.

THE MICROBIOME & “POSTBIOTICS”

Naturalin’s, high solubility produces over 1,000x more metabolite urolithins “postbiotics,” than other urolithin precursors. Urolithins have shown to improve cell and mitochondria health and provide metabolic, immunity, cardiovascular, and neuroprotective support.

HISTORY REMINDS US

Historically, and especially in the case of pandemics, solutions were delivered through staple foods.

Iodine in salt for goiter, vitamin C to tackle scurvy, folate to help reduce the risk of birth defects, fluoride in water for oral health. Today, we are facing two such global health crisis – diabetes and a novel virus. Naturalin provides support to fight against both.

At Halo, we are guided by purpose and science. We believe that “good science” takes time and purpose takes commitment.

At Halo, we approach our work with the belief that our health is the most valuable asset each of us posses.

“Constantly challenge one another and dogma, be unorthodox, collaborate and serve humankind”

DEMOCRATIZING HEALTH

There are many factors that directly impact our health, or lack of it, such as knowledge, education, sedentary lifestyles, and cultural and socio-economic challenges. Most better-for-you (BFY) foods and health-improving supplements are globally unavailable and unaffordable for most.

At Halo, we believe everyone should have affordable, accessible, nutritious food and supplements. And we believe it’s possible.

FORTIFYING HUMANKIND™

Halo is committed to making everything we eat and drink better-for-you through fortification and enrichment. Foods fortified with vital nutrients and Naturalin® help to support overall wellness.

HALO FOODS

Halo Foods are imagined as a better choice to the highly-processed, high-carb, high sugar, nutrient starved food choices that have lead to a very unhealthy world.  The public’s loss of confidence and faith in nutritional guidance leaves them hungry for alternatives they can trust, afford and that will positively impact their lives. It is our vision and mission to meet this need.
