This review systematically evaluates marine ecosystems as a prolific source of nutraceutical compounds, emphasizing the biochemical diversity of marine-derived proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, polyunsaturated fatty acids, pigments, and bioactive lipids with validated physiological functions. Marine organisms synthesize structurally unique secondary metabolites in response to extreme environmental conditions, many of which demonstrate significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, immunomodulatory,… Read More
This study by Kim et al. (2025) elucidates the protective effects of umbelliferone on epidermal barrier dysfunction induced by diabetic conditions. Chronic hyperglycemia disrupts tight junctions and compromises keratinocyte integrity, contributing to diabetic skin complications. Using hyperglycemia-exposed HaCaT keratinocytes and type 2 diabetic db/db mice, the authors demonstrate that umbelliferone markedly restores epidermal barrier homeostasis.… Read More
Trans-resveratrol is a powerful, clinically studied antioxidant that supports skin health and helps reduce visible signs of ageing when taken daily. By working from within, it helps counter oxidative stress caused by UV exposure, pollution, and intrinsic ageing, key contributors to wrinkle formation and loss of skin vitality. Regular intake of trans-resveratrol supports smoother-looking skin,… Read More
The study identified that pistachio (Pistacia vera) leaf waste can be transformed into a gut targeted bioactive phytocomplex with meaningful intestinal health benefits, and it systematically evaluated this potential using human intestinal models. The researchers prepared a polyphenol-rich pistachio leaf extract (PLE) and characterized its phenolic profile through analytical techniques. Prebiotic potential was demonstrated by… Read More
In a 12-month randomized trial of 190 older adults with mild cognitive impairment, a supplement containing phosphatidylserine, ALA, and ginkgo flavonoids improved arithmetic ability, reasoning, and short-term memory versus placebo. It also increased serum ALA, DHA, EPA, and key neurotransmitters. ALA partly mediated memory benefits. Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39317299/ Read More
