A 6-week Stanford–Abbott trial in 89 older adults (avg. 67 yrs) found that supplementation with the human milk oligosaccharide 2′-fucosyllactose (2′-FL) boosted Bifidobacterium growth in the gut and improved several metabolic markers including higher insulin, HDL cholesterol, and FGF21 levels. “Responders” with increased Bifidobacterium showed enhanced metabolic and proteomic profiles and performed better on visual… Read More
A new double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study examined whether acute coffeeberry extract ingestion could enhance soccer performance in trained male academy players. Twenty athletes completed two trials 300 mg coffeeberry extract versus a matched placebo before participating in a 45-minute half-match simulation with dribbling, passing, and sprinting tasks, followed by a high-intensity run-to-fatigue test. Results showed that… Read More
In this randomized, double-blind, parallel clinical trial involving 108 patients with solid tumours (lung, colorectal, breast) receiving chemo/targeted/immunotherapy, researchers tested a novel nutraceutical formulation (Lipchronic®) comprised of a supercritical rosemary extract high in phenolic diterpenes (carnosic acid/carnosol) combined with alkylglycerols to enhance bioavailability. The formulation was well tolerated, with no major adverse safety signals, and… Read More

The study found that certain gut bacteria can produce serotonin, a chemical that helps regulate gut movement and communication between the gut and brain. Researchers found that two gut bacteria, Limosilactobacillus mucosae and Ligilactobacillus ruminis, can directly produce serotonin in the intestine by converting 5‑hydroxytryptophan into active serotonin. Experiments in germ-free mice lacking the serotonin-producing… Read More
