TSI Group is proud to announce that 2023 Nutrition Research Project of the Year Award from NutraIngredients-USA goes to the NIH-funded Hobamine study.

NutraIngredients-USA Awards persist in acknowledging excellence within the dietary supplement industry.  With 17 different categories to enter, the awards honor the best and brightest ingredients, finished products, companies and people in the nutrition industry.



Hobamine’s Award Winning Study

The new NIH-funded study on Hobamine, Inflammation Biomarker Response to Oral 2-Hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) Acetate in Healthy Humans, received the Nutrition Research Project of the Year Award. 


This study showed the impact of 2-HOBA (Hobamine) supplementation on inflammatory biomarkers in healthy individuals and addressed the concern of maintaining a balanced immune system to prevent the progression of several diseases associated with chronic inflammation.  The findings of the study suggest that supplementing with 2 HOBA (Hobamine) can support a balanced immune system by enhancing inflammatory biomarkers in healthy individuals and reducing the levels of the protein TWEAK, which stimulates inflammation and tumor development.

“This interesting and well-designed study, funded by NIH, found that 2 HOBA (Hobamine) supplementation may promote a healthy balance of the immune system by improving inflammatory biomarkers in healthy individuals. Published in a peer review journal that indicates strong credibility, and it therefore provides opportunities for formulators and developers to add Hobamine, to their immune focused formulations, enabling healthy individuals to be more proactive about maintaining their immune readiness. The novelty of the ingredient and the impacts on inflammatory markers in healthy people really helped this project stand out,” stated Stephen Daniells, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of NutraIngredients-USA.

Oxidative Stress and Cellular Health: How Hobamine® (2-HOBA) Supports a Targeted Defense

Oxidative stress and cellular health are now central topics in conversations around long-term health, healthy aging, and cellular resilience. The reason is simple: these processes can influence how well our cells function over time.  The body is built to manage everyday stressors. In fact, oxidative stress is a normal part of life and metabolism. But when that balance is disrupted, harmful downstream compounds can build up and can bind to proteins, lipids, and DNA; creating a negative impact.  That is where a more targeted approach to cellular health becomes important.  Hobamine® (2-hydroxybenzylamine or 2-HOBA) is designed to support cellular health by capturing specific damaging

A Targeted Scavenging Approach to Supporting Cellular Balance Under Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress is a normal outcome of metabolic activity, immune function, and environmental exposure. The body has built-in systems to manage these processes, but when downstream reactions become excessive or poorly controlled, they can place added strain on cellular balance.  As scientific understanding continues to evolve, interest is moving away from broad suppression strategies and toward more precise approaches that support normal cellular function while addressing the compounds most responsible for oxidative stress.  This shift was recently reflected in an industry discussion published by Nutrition Industry Executive, where Hobamine®  (2-HOBA) was mentioned for its role in addressing oxidative stress through selective scavenging.  Oxidative Stress and Downstream Reactive Compounds  Oxidative stress
