This clinical trial tested whether applying a bioactive glass desensitizer before in‑office bleaching with 40% hydrogen peroxide could reduce tooth sensitivity and affect whitening results. Fifty‑one participants were divided into three groups (bioactive desensitizer, fluoride gel, placebo) and underwent two bleaching sessions. The study found no difference in the overall risk of sensitivity among groups,… Read More
The study on Ageratum houstonianum extract and its major bioactive compound agerarin for their ability to promote hair growth in human dermal papilla cells, which play a central role in regulating hair follicle development and cycling. The extract and agerarin significantly increased the expression of SCUBE3, a signaling molecule associated with hair follicle activation and… Read More
Aging populations need effective, sustainable protein options. This study compared a pea–soy protein blend (PS), the same blend fortified with extra leucine (PS+L), and whey protein (W) for their ability to stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS) in 25‑month‑old mice. After oral dosing and short-term sampling, both whey and the leucine‑fortified plant blend produced significant increases… Read More
A recent double-blind, placebo-controlled trial tested partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) in healthy adults over eight weeks. Participants who took PHGG showed reduced levels of harmful mucolytic gut bacteria, more frequent and satisfying bowel movements, and at the higher dose better sleep and motivation.Briefly: PHGG appears to ease mild constipation, shift the gut microbiome toward… Read More
In a randomized trial, emulsifiers reduced beneficial short-chain fatty acids and altered gut microbiota but did not increase inflammation or metabolic risk. Carrageenan increased gut permeability. An emulsifier-free diet lowered cholesterol. Results suggest limiting emulsifiers may support gut health. Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40816342/ Read More
