Prodrome Science offers scientifically developed supplements, ProdromeNEURO™ and ProdromeGLIA™, designed to support plasmalogen levels and support brain, nerve, and overall cellular health.
About Prodrome Science
Prodrome Science is dedicated to advancing health through cutting-edge research and innovative solutions. At the core of the brand’s mission is the pioneering work of Dr. Goodenowe, who developed a groundbreaking method to replenish plasmalogen levels, a vital component of cellular function, particularly in the brain, heart, and other critical areas of the body. Through rigorous preclinical and clinical research, Prodrome Science offers products that help restore optimal plasmalogen levels, supporting overall wellness and longevity.
What Are Plasmalogens?
Plasmalogens are a specialized class of phospholipids that play a crucial role in the structure and function of cells, especially in the nervous system. They are present in significant amounts in the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, and eyes, where they support essential functions. Their unique chemical structure, featuring a vinyl ether linkage, gives them distinct properties, including antioxidant capabilities. As natural protectors against cellular damage, plasmalogens are vital to maintaining health and supporting longevity.
The Role of Plasmalogens in the Body
Plasmalogens are integral to numerous physiological functions, from neuronal activity to heart and lung function. These molecules are essential for the integrity and fluidity of cell membranes, facilitating cell communication and signaling. Plasmalogens also help protect cells from oxidative stress and support processes that require high concentrations of omega-9 and omega-3 fatty acids, particularly in brain gray and white matter, myelin, and heart membranes.
Plasmalogens are vital to cellular function and contribute to maintaining health in the following ways:
Brain: Plasmalogens help solidify and enhance signals between neurons, which are critical for both cognitive and physical performance.
Heart: By reinforcing cellular structure, plasmalogens help maintain heart muscle strength and protect against premature oxidation.
Blood: Elevated plasmalogen levels in the blood are associated with a lower risk of dementia and a longer life expectancy.
Hair & Nails: Plasmalogens found in hair follicles and nail beds support hair growth and healthy nails.
Cell Walls: They are essential in maintaining healthy cells, including strengthening the myelin sheath in neurons.
Aging: Plasmalogens serve as antioxidants, helping to protect against free radical damage and the effects of aging.
Lungs: They stabilize structures in lung cells, contributing to respiratory health.
Eyes: In the retinal tissues, plasmalogens are linked to eye health, with higher levels potentially reducing the risk of conditions such as glaucoma.
A Scientifically Backed Solution for Plasmalogen Deficiency
Low plasmalogen levels can have a significant impact on health, especially as individuals age. Unfortunately, there are no viable dietary sources to replenish these essential molecules. To address this, Dr. Goodenowe pioneered the development of targeted plasmalogen precursors, now available as dietary supplements—ProdromeNEURO™ and ProdromeGLIA™. These innovative products are backed by extensive research and designed to restore plasmalogen levels across the body.
In addition, Prodrome Science offers the ProdromeSCAN™, a specialized blood test that allows individuals to measure their plasmalogen levels and tailor their health regimen based on precise, science-backed data.

Breaking Alzheimer’s Book by Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, PHD
The biochemical mechanisms of neurological disease is his area of expertise and was his area of expertise for 15 years before he serendipitously discovered that low plasmalogen levels were causing Alzheimer’s.
Dr. Goodenowe had never heard of plasmalogens and he had never been taught about them. There are now 15 years of supportive validation of this discovery and access to plasmalogen testing and supplementation is now available to everyone. By sheer will, Dr. Goodenowe has completed the beginning and the middle of this journey such that the plasmalogen genie cannot be put back in the bottle.
This book brings the reader up to speed about where we are on this journey and where we are going from here.
