Our Systems Approach

Our therapeutic candidates work by restoring the correct balance of amino acids (homeostasis) in cells that are affected by disease. The restoration of homeostasis allows cells to overcome the disease burden and return to a healthy state. Traditional drug interventions in western medicine are designed to interact with a specific target, leading to the modulation of certain biological pathways and/or cellular function.

Our amino acid therapies allow for a broader impact on the entire system. Because amino acids are essential to many processes in each cell, the restoration of their homeostasis has system-wide effects, including disease state specific modulation of protein synthesis, selective and safe activation of regulatory (housekeeping) genes, a reduction in destructive mechanisms, such as autophagy and cell stress, and an improvement in mitochondrial (energy) function and metabolism. The result is restoration of a healthy cellular state.
