THE SCIENCE OF HEALTHY AGING

 

THE FOOD OF HEALTHY AGING

 

THE FUTURE OF HEALTHY AGING

STARTS WITH HALO

Longevity and healthspan are the mission.

Metabolic dysfunction is the defining crisis of our time, as evidenced by 70% of the population being overweight, obese, or pre-diabetic—and over 60% of the U.S. population living with at least one chronic illness, and more than 40% managing two or more chronic conditions. Behind it: insulin resistance, poor diet, high sugar, constant low-grade inflammation from leaky gut, and a feedback loop of declining immunity and inactivity.

Meanwhile, 40% of approved drugs and 90% of pipeline APIs and bioactives remain insoluble – leading to higher doses, reduced efficacy, costly side and associated effects, and more expensive. At Halo, we’re solving for both: restoring metabolic function and unlocking the full potential of molecules driven by our platform technology, IONx AI. At Halo, Healthspan and Longevity are more than just buzzwords, they’re our mission.

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

Naturalin’s 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.

THE MICROBIOME & “POSTBIOTICS”

Halo’s high soluble, Naturalin®, enables the increase in production of metabolite urolithins (“postbiotics”) by over 1,000 times more than ever before.

Urolithins and Naturalin® have been shown to enhance cellular and mitochondrial function, support muscle health, and broad metabolic benefits,

including immune system regulation, cardiovascular protection, neuroprotection, and GLP-1 support.

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.

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 – obesity and a novel virus. Halo products provide support to fight against both and their underlying causes.

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.
