Those receiving vitamin D (50,000 IU biweekly) and probiotics (4.5 × 10¹¹ CFU daily) experienced a significant increase in serum vitamin D levels, averaging a rise of 12.86 ng/mL… Read More
Spermidine, a naturally occurring polyamine, shows promise in promoting heart health by potentially lowering cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. A recent study utilizing a bi-directional Mendelian randomization approach found that higher spermidine levels are significantly associated with reduced risk of hypertension, lower blood glucose levels, and improved lipid profiles—demonstrated by decreased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)… Read More
The recently completed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involved 140 participants, divided into four groups of 35, who were assigned to receive either BluNAD Booster, an NAD precursor, a combination of both, or a placebo. Researchers evaluated the treatment’s impact on NAD-boosting activity through blood biomarkers, physical performance measures, and quality of life assessments. Initial findings… Read More
Olive oil is renowned for its health benefits, attributed to its rich content of healthy fats and bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the production of olive oil generates a substantial amount of waste, including olive mill wastewater (OMW), a byproduct previously regarded as harmful. OMW contains high levels of organic and phenolic… Read More
A 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigated the effect of silymarin on liver stiffness in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Eighty-three participants were divided between a silymarin group (103.2 mg/day) and a placebo group. Results showed that silymarin significantly reduced liver stiffness, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), and ApoB levels compared to placebo. However,… Read More
