This study explores the potential of novel molecules that can act as copper chelators to treat Alzheimer’s disease. Eight imines L03-10 and one quinoline-based compound L11 were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated as compounds that can act to reverse neurodegeneration in vivo. Their ability to extract copper from the Cu-β-amyloid complex, a key factor in Alzheimer’s… Read More
A 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in women aged 30 to 66 evaluated a standardized four-botanical nutricosmetic blend, Eternalyoung (225 mg/day), for visible skin aging. The ingredient produced steady improvements in key facial parameters, especially on the forehead. Wrinkle volume dropped by 23.3% at week 12 while the placebo group showed a 13.6% increase. Wrinkle… Read More
5-Loxin, a Boswellia serrata extract standardized to 30% AKBA, was investigated for its anti-inflammatory and joint health benefits in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. In a 90-day, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 75 OA patients, daily supplementation with 100 mg or 250 mg of 5-Loxin significantly improved pain and physical function scores compared to placebo. Notably,… Read More
The study develops a topical formulation containing alginate microspheres loaded with the probiotic strain Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 and evaluates how it interacts with the skin environment in vitro. The probiotic showed strong activity against Staphylococcus aureus, a common skin pathogen, while remaining compatible with beneficial Staphylococcus epidermidis. The microsphere system was non toxic to… Read More
A 4-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial found that AG1® supplementation positively influenced the gut microbiome of healthy adults. AG1® increased beneficial probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, enhanced key functional pathways, and reduced potentially undesirable microbial species. Participants experienced no negative effects on stool consistency, bowel frequency, digestive comfort, or clinical… Read More
