We target over 300+ biomarkers for skin-gut-brain health

5 min read

Clarify Within™ and Calm Within™ are designed to influence over 300 interconnected biomarkers tied to gut microbiota, nervous system balance, and skin health. While the full scope is extensive, we’ve highlighted a few of the most meaningful markers—those that reflect measurable, lasting change across mood, inflammation, gut barrier integrity, and overall skin function.
 

Why biomarkers matter

Most supplements claim to support stress, focus, or skin, but Clarify Within™ and Calm Within™ are built around what your digestive system, brain, and skin actually track: biomarkers. These measurable, clinically validated indicators reflect changes in your gut microbiota, nervous system, immune function, and more.

 

These biomarkers include:

  • Neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, which affect mental health, mood, focus, and stress levels

  • Cortisol and CRP, which are key markers of chronic stress and systemic inflammation

  • Zonulin and tight junction proteins (Occludin, ZO-1, Claudin-1) that reflect gut barrier integrity

  • Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and Collagen I, central to skin aging, elasticity, and skin barrier function

  • Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate and acetate, which regulate gut motility, barrier strength, and skin condition

  • BDNF and alpha brain waves, crucial for cognitive resilience and central nervous system support

  • Markers of oxidative stress (MDA, ROS), which influence everything from cellular aging to inflammatory diseases
     

By targeting these validated prognostic biomarkers across the gut-skin-brain axis, our formulations offer precision-based wellness support, backed by data from clinical trials and emerging science in human health.

 

Calm Within™: The biomarker-based brain supplement that works from within

In the world of wellness, true transformation starts at the cellular level. Calm Within™, our advanced brain supplement, is meticulously formulated to target key biomarkers that influence not just mental clarity and mood, but also gut integrity, skin resilience, and inflammation regulation. This isn’t just another calming supplement—it’s a scientifically grounded formula that works through the skin-gut-brain axis.
 

Here’s how Calm Within™ supports your body, biomarker by biomarker:
