Recent research has identified a promising nutritional intervention to combat the loss of muscle mass and strength associated with aging and muscle diseases. Skeletal muscle relies on muscle stem cells (MuSCs) for growth and repair, but aging and muscle-related disorders can impair these cells, leading to regenerative decline. In a study, scientists screened natural food-derived… Read More
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains an enigmatic and devastating condition, with growing evidence highlighting a critical link between sleep disturbances and disease progression. A 2023 study from Washington University in St. Louis demonstrated that suvorexant, an insomnia medication, could transiently reduce amyloid-beta and tau protein levels—key markers of AD—in cerebrospinal fluid. The study involved 38 healthy,… Read More
As we age, maintaining muscle strength becomes critical for mobility and independence. Enter 6′-Sialyllactose (6′SL), a naturally occurring compound from human breast milk, now emerging as a promising solution for age-related sarcopenia. Rich in sialic acid, 6′SL helps combat muscle loss, improve endurance, and enhance strength. Backed by cutting-edge research, including preclinical and clinical trials,… Read More
A clinical study found that Valeriana officinalis (Valerian Extract, VE) (200mg) significantly improved sleep quality after a single dose.
