Racemic Equol Solution

Potential Application:

Skin health
Collagen quality 
Neuroprotection 
Anti-inflammatory 
Mitochondrial health
Longevity

Mechanism: 

Equol is a natural isolate from soy isoflavones shown to have a plethora of benefits for aging, longevity and skin health in human research. 

Mitotek's racemic equol contains both r and s equol, whose combined benefits have been shown by research to be more powerful than s equol alone. Though r equol has received far less attention, its unique and powerful mechanisms allow it to complement and enhance s equol's anti-inflammatory, skin-improving effects. 

S equol, acting as a selective genomic agonist of ErB, a crucial receptor for skin health and longevity, reduces inflammatory signaling and improves healthy dermal cell expression. R equol's nuanced and unique effects stem from its selectivity for membrane ErA, a receptor that is critical for skin architecture via the structural protein elastin. Moreover, r equol actually counteracts the feminizing proliferative effects of estrogens like estradiol. while enhancing s equol's ability to improve skin structure by modulating MMP, JNK and MAPK. Both molecules also act as potent antioxidants, which allow fragile, ROS-sensitive dermal proteins to form and align without oxidative damage. Lastly, by reducing the inflammatory signaling induced by DHT, r and s equol may aid skin and brain health alike. 

As critical modulators of cellular metabolism and inflammatory signaling, the activation of receptors like genomic ErB and membrane ErA has been shown in research to not only reduce fine lines, skin inflammation and improve overall collagen quality, but to provide a plethora of benefits owing to their influence on mitochondrial health and inflammatory signaling. 

Equol is a purified isolate derived from natural soy isoflavones and has been studied with clear positive effects in humans for its effects on skin aging, endothelial health and neuroprotection. 

Mitotek's racemic equol solution provides a 30 day dosing protocol of two doses per day for optimal benefits in accordance with its implementation in human research.
