A recent in-vitro pilot study examined the effects of two natural coffee-derived compounds kahweol (KW) and cafestol (CFS) on melanin regulation in mouse melanoma (B16F10) cells and human melanocytes from donors with varying skin pigmentation. The results showed that KW and CFS did not significantly lower melanin stored inside cells. However, kahweol more effectively reduced… Read More
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of a nutraceutical combining Boswellia serrata gum resin (300 mg) and Apium graveolens (celery) seed extract (250 mg) in 62 participants with knee osteoarthritis. Over 90 days, supplementation significantly reduced pain, stiffness, and swelling, improving WOMAC, VAS, KOOS, and mobility scores. Biomarker analysis revealed… Read More
