Merina is an AI educational guide, not a licensed healthcare professional. Our recommendations are based on analysis of published research and are intended to help you have informed conversations with your healthcare providers.

Who We Are

Merina Nutrition is an innovative nutrition education platform specializing in protein science and healthy aging for women over 40. Operating under the legal entity Lovemath LLC (New Jersey) doing business as Merina Nutrition, we're pioneering a new approach to nutrition education by combining cutting-edge AI technology with evidence-based research.

At the heart of our platform is Merina, our AI-powered educational guide. Merina analyzes hundreds of peer-reviewed studies, clinical trials, and nutrition research to deliver accessible, actionable guidance on protein intake, muscle preservation, and healthy aging strategies specifically designed for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

Why We're Transparent About AI

We believe honesty builds trust. Merina is an AI guide, and we're upfront about it. This isn't a limitation—it's an advantage. AI allows us to:

  • Analyze hundreds of research studies quickly and comprehensively
  • Provide consistent, accurate, evidence-based information
  • Stay current with the latest nutrition science
  • Deliver unbiased recommendations focused on research, not personal anecdotes
  • Make complex science accessible and actionable for everyday women

We're not trying to replace your healthcare providers—we're here to help you understand the science so you can make informed decisions about your health.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple but powerful: Empower women over 40 to maintain their health, strength, and vitality through evidence-based nutrition education and high-quality protein supplementation.

We recognize that women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond face unique nutritional challenges. Current protein guidelines were developed decades ago and don't account for the metabolic changes that occur during menopause. Research consistently shows women over 40 need significantly more protein than standard recommendations suggest—yet most women don't know this.

We exist to bridge that knowledge gap with transparent, research-backed education delivered through innovative AI technology.

Why We Focus on Protein

Protein isn't just another nutrient—it's the foundation of healthy aging for women over 40. Research shows:

  • Women lose 3-5% of muscle mass every decade after age 30, accelerating during menopause
  • Current RDA protein guidelines (0.8g/kg) are insufficient for maintaining muscle in aging women
  • Optimal intake of 1.2-1.6g/kg daily can preserve 40% more muscle mass over time
  • Higher protein intake supports metabolism, bone density, energy levels, and functional independence
  • Most women over 40 consume only 50-60% of the protein they actually need

This isn't about vanity or weight loss—it's about maintaining the strength, energy, and independence to live your best life as you age.

Our Products & Services

1. Educational Content

We create comprehensive, research-backed content delivered through:

  • Video education: Short, science-based videos on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook explaining protein research in accessible language

2. Premium Protein Supplementation

We carefully selected Genepro Unflavored Protein Powder as our recommended supplement because it addresses the specific needs of women over 40:

  • Clinically-proven 99.9% absorption rate through Ingredient Optimized® atmospheric plasma treatment technology
  • 11g premium whey protein isolate per serving with near-complete bioavailability
  • Published research showing it outperforms even hydrolyzed proteins in amino acid delivery

  • Zero carbs, zero sugar for dietary flexibility
  • Unflavored formula that mixes seamlessly into any food or beverage

We don't manufacture Genepro—we recommend it based on the clinical evidence supporting its efficacy for women dealing with age-related anabolic resistance.

Meet the Founder

MT Tasgetiren - Founder

Background & Expertise:
Merina Nutrition was founded by MT Tasgetiren, an entrepreneur and technologist with extensive experience in data analysis, artificial intelligence applications, and digital health innovation. With a background spanning technology development and health optimization, MT recognized a critical gap in how nutrition science reaches women navigating menopause.

Why Merina Nutrition Was Created:
After spending years researching the intersection of aging, metabolism, and nutrition science, MT identified a troubling pattern: while robust clinical research exists showing women over 40 need significantly more protein than current guidelines recommend, this information remains buried in academic journals and medical literature. Most women had no practical way to access or understand this research.

Simultaneously, MT observed that most nutrition content online was either oversimplified (lacking scientific backing) or overly technical (inaccessible to general audiences). Additionally, much nutrition advice came from individuals with financial incentives or personal biases rather than objective research analysis.

The Solution - AI-Powered Research Translation:
Combining expertise in AI technology with passion for evidence-based health information, MT created Merina Nutrition to bridge this divide. The platform uses artificial intelligence to analyze vast amounts of peer-reviewed research and translate complex findings into practical, actionable guidance.

Operating Philosophy:
"Women over 40 deserve transparent, research-backed information delivered in a way that empowers rather than overwhelms. AI allows us to analyze hundreds of studies objectively—without personal bias or financial conflicts—and distill findings into practical guidance that actually helps women maintain their strength, energy, and independence as they age."

Commitment to Quality:
While Merina (our AI guide) handles research analysis and content creation, all educational materials undergo quality review to ensure accuracy, appropriate medical disclaimers, regulatory compliance, and alignment with our mission of empowering women through evidence-based education.

Important Note:
MT Tasgetiren and Merina Nutrition do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We are not licensed healthcare professionals, registered dietitians, or medical doctors. Our role is to make scientific research accessible and help women have informed conversations with their qualified healthcare providers about protein nutrition and healthy aging strategies.
