cGP (cyclic Glycine-Proline) is an endogenous molecule that plays a key role in making small blood vessels. Around the age of 45, the body’s production of cGP is no longer sufficient to the body’s needs. In addition, low levels of cGP correlate with cognitive decline associated with age and neurodegenerative diseases.
Learn the function and importance of cGP in relation to healthy blood vessels and in maintaining the function of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1), a hormone essential for maintaining microcirculation and organ function. IGF-1 function declines with age and to maintain IGF-1 function our body needs cGP. This allows for rebuilding capillary networks around organs.
The webinar will also cover research on cGP and its promising role in metabolic disorders.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how the discovery of natural cGP from foods lead to the nutraceutical development of an oral cGP supplement
- Understand the unique pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of natural cGP
- Discover the mechanism of natural cGP in regulating, not over stimulating, or inhibiting IGF-1 function
- Learn how cGP regenerates and revitalises healthy blood vessels to better protect from age-related decline
