the science
Plasmalogens are a unique type of phospholipid and an essential component of cell membranes. Unlike typical phospholipids, plasmalogens have distinctive structural and functional characteristics that make them important in various biological processes.
Essentially, plasmalogens are made up of fatty acids along with a phosphate group, with chemical bonds that make them more flexible. The membrane surrounding each cell is composed of phospholipids, some of which are rigid due to their composition, and then plasmalogens, which are more flexible. Plasmalogens contain polyunsaturated fatty acids such as DHA.
About
NeuroCores is a start up company spun out from a prestigious Japanese institution researching plasmalogen and brain fatigue.
Backed by 28 years of concrete science and real-world evidence, NeuroCore is now developing a novel drug candidate treating rare pediatric disease and neurodegenerative diseases.
