We all want to live our best lives even as we age. 

In The Natural View podcast with Todd Pauli and Maggie Jaqua, they have special guest Shawn Baier, VP of Business Development at TSI Group, to discuss healthy aging, overlooked component, and nutritional ingredients to promote healthy aging.

Healthy, Active Aging

There are many various categories to focus on when we talk about healthy aging like joints, bones, and cognitive health.  One area that tends to get overlooked when it comes to healthy aging is muscle health.   

Unfortunately, we will all experience age-related muscle loss and if not addressed at all it can become a debilitating issue.  Our muscles carry out the physical demands of life and preventing muscle loss is easier than trying to restore lost muscle mass and strength.

Muscles Meet myHMB

The good news is there is an ingredient that is clinically proven to help prevent muscle loss – myHMB, scientifically known as beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate or HMB. 

HMB in the past has been predominately known as a supplement for bodybuilders to help build muscle and improve recovery, but there is an array of research showing its potential in aging demographics to help prevent muscle loss during times of inactivity like bed rest after an illness or injury.   HMB can benefit any individual that wants to improve quality of life as we age.

Healthy Aging at a Cellular Level

We all experience oxidative stress in our lives, and while we can mitigate some of it, we cannot eliminate it.  Factors such environmental factors, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, alcohol, overexercising can all cause oxidative stress and when excessive oxidative stress happens it creates highly reactive molecules called free radicals and these can have a negative impact on the health of our cells and bodies.

A Radical Approach to Cellular Health

Hobamine, or 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA), is a naturally occurring compound that is at the forefront of new developments to support cellular health, particularly as we age.

Hobamine (2-HOBA) works by rapidly capturing specific reactive compounds formed by oxidative stress.   This capture prevents those compounds from binding to and damaging other cellular components like proteins, lipids, or DNA and impeding normal function of the cell.

TSI Group’s new compound, Hobamine (2-HOBA) has shown to support cellular health through a unique mechanism.

As science continues to advance, looking at health at a cellular level has more prominant. 

“Cellular health matters because it has an important impact on how well our bodies function, repair themselves, produce new body tissue, and much more,” according to Shawn Baier, vice president of business development with TSI Group’s Innovative Products Division. “As we all know, our immune system and how it responds to various stimuli has an effect on our cellular health, both positively and negatively. Cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form systems that make up the body. Cellular health is the microscopic version of overall health—the healthier our cells, the healthier our body will be since our cells will be working optimally and efficiently with one another. “


A Radical Approach to Cellular Health

Oxidative stress is the primary cause of cellular damage. Excessive oxidative stress causes a buildup of a specific class of free radicals that can cause harm to the body.  Unfortunately, it’s merely impossible to eliminate all oxidative stress from our lives because of factors such as environment, poor nutrition, excess alcohol, lack of sleep, stress, and/or simply aging.

Hobamine (2-HOBA), a bio-identical, chemically synthesized version of the naturally occurring compound 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) found in the buckwheat plant can help combat oxidative stress.  What makes Hobamine unique or even radical is that it works by acting specifically against compounds responsible for oxidative damage without blocking the processes needed for healthy cell function. 

“Hobamine (2-HOBA) represents a paradigm shift in the approach to reducing the impact of oxidative stress because it is a selective scavenger of high-impact reactive oxygen species (ROS), specifically isolevuglandins (IsoLGs), but doesn’t interfere with or blunt fundamental physiological processes,” said Baier. “Therefore, 2-HOBA helps to return the healthy balance our cells and bodies need.”

Hobamine – A Breakthrough Non-Antioxidant

January 9, 2023
No Comments

Hobamine (2-HOBA) has entered the spotlight as a new ingredient to help improve the balance of cellular health according to an article in Nutrition Insight.

Hobamine is a patented ingredient from TSI Group that is a naturally occurring compound of hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA).  This ingredient is a breakthrough because it specifically targets the negative impact from oxidative stress without blunting the body’s normal and healthy processes. 


Health at a Granular Level

Cellular health is the foundation of overall health and becomes especially more important as we age. 

“Cellular health matters because it has an important impact on how well the body functions, repairs itself, produces new body tissue and much more,” says principal investigator John A. Rathmacher, Ph.D. 

We are made up of trillions of cells and those cells are the building blocks of the body.  Cell from tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form the systems that make up our bodies.  Everything that happens in our bodies starts on a cellular level.  In other words – the healthier our cells, the healthier our body will be. 


More Than an Antioxidant

Hobamine is notably not an antioxidant because it allows our bodies to continue their normal processes like cell signaling and immune function while minimizing the adverse effects of oxidative stress. 

Whereas, antioxidants avoid the development of oxidative stress all together, but then this blocks our bodies from its normal physiological functions and pathways. 

“Hobamine could easily become the next new vitamin C or vitamin D in terms of consumer acceptance,” comments VP of business development at TSI Group Shawn Baier. “It is a defender of every cell in the body.”

SRW Labs Debuts Line of Products for Cellular Health

SRW Labs new line of products features Hobamine, a new innovative ingredient tied to DNA protection and cellular health.

SRW Laboratories led by founder Greg Macpherson has launched a line of products focused on cellular health supplements.  They pride themselves on utilizing innovative ingredients and work with a team of researchers to create unique products to promote health and wellness.


The Discovery of Hobamine

The novel ingredient Hobamine (scientifically known as 2-hydroxybenzlyamine; or 2-HOBA) was discovered by Vanderbilt University scientists through research spearheaded by Dr. Naji Abumrad, who is now a part of the SRW Advisory Board.

In the early 2000s researchers at Vanderbilt developed 2-HOBA (Hobamine) and found it to be an effective ingredient to block the formation of IsoLG protein adducts in platelets and other cells.  What they found is that IsoLGs accumulate and can cause a variety of damage to the cell when there are too many of them.  What makes 2-HOBA (Hobamine) unique is its ability to act against compounds responsible for oxidative stress without blocking the processes needed for cell function.  This is an advanced approach to reducing the impact of oxidative stress.
