A new systematic review and network meta-analysis of 35 randomized controlled trials (991 athletes) reveals that not all popular supplements deliver on their performance promises. Researchers compared protein, creatine, β-alanine, HMB, caffeine, vitamin D, and others to evaluate their impact on strength, speed, and power. The findings highlight protein as the most effective option for… Read More
The recent study investigated the skin mucus of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) to identify natural antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with potential medical uses. Through computational screening, researchers pinpointed over twenty candidates, which were then synthesized and tested in the lab. The results were highly positive that four peptides effectively killed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a major… Read More
A six-month clinical study in 44 adults with sub-optimal cholesterol found that a daily tablet of Ritmon Colesystem® a combination of berberine, olive extract, fenugreek, artichoke, and sunflower phytosterols significantly reduced LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. Participants, who had LDL-C between 115–190 mg/dL and were not on cholesterol-lowering drugs, saw LDL-C drop by 7–10 mg/dL… Read More
A retrospective analysis of a randomized clinical trial examined how obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) affect muscle gains from resistance exercise and protein-based multi-ingredient supplementation (MIS) in older men. Obesity and MetS strongly predicted reduced improvements in lean mass, strength, and body composition, indicating anabolic resistance. In overweight/obese participants with MetS risk factors, whey/casein-based MIS… Read More
A new animal study suggests that a milk-derived supplement rich in milk fat globule membranes (MFGMs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs) could help combat age-related metabolic dysfunction. Over 25 weeks, aged sedentary rats given the MFGM/EV concentrate — abundant in milk sphingolipids — developed healthier lipid profiles, including reductions in ceramide biomarkers tied to cardiovascular death… Read More
