StrideDaily: Liposomal Liquid Technology
StrideDaily is an all-in-one liquid liposome nutrition supplement leading to enhanced health and wellbeing. Research shows that encapsulating vitamins and minerals with liposomes improves the overall bioavailability of the micronutrient. Bioavailability refers to how much of the active ingredient our bodies absorb and use.
A liposome is a sphere of phospholipid, suspended in a liquid medium, usually water. Phospholipids have both hydrophilic (water-loving) and hydrophobic (water-hating) regions, hence form spheres in water, with the hydrophilic groups facing outwards, towards the water and the hydrophobic groups facing inwards, away from the water.
When nutrients are swallowed, they must survive exposure to digestive enzymes and acids, bile salts and various gut flora before they can be metabolised by the liver and be used in the body. Liposomes encase nutrients like a shield while in transit around the body, protecting against these stresses in the stomach and intestine until they reach the intestineās cell membrane.
The interaction between the liposomes and cell membranes allows the nutrients to be released precisely where they need to be for optimal absorption and effectiveness.
Compared to traditional supplement tablets, which have as low as 10% bioavailability, with our liquid liposome technology, StrideDaily supplements deliver up to 98% bioavailability.
StrideDNA: Advanced Genetic Testing.
StrideDNA is an at-home DNA test providing personalised and actionable lifestyle recommendations for long-term health and wellbeing. Stride utilises gene array testing, also called gene expression profiling, a cutting-edge molecular biology technique that simultaneously analyses the activity levels of thousands of genes. SNPs, which are single-base pair differences in DNA sequences, are commonly found throughout the human genome. In gene array testing, SNP analysis identifies genetic variants associated with specific predispositions, nutrient needs or drug responses, and genetic variations among individuals.
This information allows us to offer valuable insights into an individual's nutrition, fitness, mental cognition and skin health predispositions, empowering them to make informed decisions about their health and wellness.
We uphold a rigorously scientific approach based on reliable data consolidated by dozens of studies. We maintain a strict inclusion protocol for each SNP included in our DNA reports: the effect must have been identified with human subjects, replicable, and shown in at least three research studies.
Stride's genetic testing takes place in our state-of-the-art, UK-based laboratory with an industry leading turnaround time of 10 business days. This direct approach eliminates the need to involve third-party laboratories, typical among other testing partners. With our model, we guarantee cost efficiency, high-quality and fast results, and ongoing innovation in research and development.
