A recent analysis of 7,857 adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) from NHANES 2005–2018 highlights the importance of vitamin K in long-term survival. By linking dietary data with National Death Index records, researchers found that higher log-transformed vitamin K intake (ln[VK]) significantly reduced all-cause mortality over a 180-month follow-up. Each 1-unit increase in ln[VK]… Read More
New research reveals that the true bioactive core of collagen’s health benefits lies in a precise amino acid ratio—three glycine to one proline to one hydroxyproline. This minimal “collagen unit” was shown to extend healthspan and lifespan in C. elegans, enhance collagen homeostasis in human fibroblasts, improve strength and reduce fat accumulation in aging mice,… Read More
The study pooled shotgun metagenomic data from multiple countries and found that Parkinson’s disease (PD) is consistently associated with higher gut microbial diversity, increased Akkermansia, and reduced SCFA-producing bacteria like Roseburia and Faecalibacterium. Functionally, PD guts showed a strong loss of microbial genes for riboflavin (B2) and biotin (B7) synthesis and reduced carbohydrate-metabolizing enzymes, indicating… Read More
Metabolic syndrome has become one of today’s most common lifestyle-related health concerns, marked by a combination of risk factors such as abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, and impaired glucose metabolism. As scientists continue to explore natural ways to manage this condition, a new study from Iran sheds light on a promising bee-derived remedy propolis.Propolis, a… Read More
Physta® (standardized Eurycoma longifolia extract) was evaluated in a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 138 women aged 40–55 with menopausal symptoms. Participants received either 50 mg, 100 mg, or placebo. The 100 mg dose delivered the most meaningful effects, reducing overall MENQOL scores by 33.9 percent and improving physical and sexual domains by more… Read More
