    About Oxford Healthspan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Oxford Healthspan was founded by Leslie Kenny, a Southern Californian entrepreneur and Berkeley and Harvard Business School graduate, whose life was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis in her late 30s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When her doctors told her lupus had a life expectancy of 5 years and that rheumatoid arthritis could only be managed, not cured, she set out to optimise her health as best she could using safe, natural solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the same time, she began helping life sciences academics at European universities \u2014 including Oxford, where she lives \u2014 to raise money for their discoveries. It was at a meeting with one such scientist that she learned about the natural compound called spermidine, which is abundant in a traditional Japanese dish she had grown up with called natto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Spermidine was showing great promise supporting health as we age. The science was compelling \u2014 one scientist even called it ‘an anti-aging vitamin’ in a published scientific journal \u2014 and due to its food-derived nature, it had a high safety profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Leslie immediately wanted her octogenarian mother back home in California to take it, especially since natto is very hard to come by (it’s quite smelly, for one thing!). Unfortunately, spermidine wasn\u2019t available in the US or really even known there, so she decided to bring it to market herself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Inspired, Leslie (now two decades post-diagnosis and an autoimmune disease survivor), together with an Advisory Board formed by US- and Oxford-based scientists, combined thousand-year-old wisdom and modern science to create the high-quality anti-aging supplement Primeadine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Leslie\u2019s team launched the Oxford Healthspan brand to introduce Primeadine to the world, and continue to bring its benefits to customers worldwide today.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We sat down with Maria Osorio, Logistics and Operations Director, and Natalia Lara, CMO at Oxford Healthspan, to discuss how Oxford Healthspan has grown into a global brand with the help of ShipBob\u2019s software, fulfilment services, and 2-day shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
