Breastfeeding shapes an infant’s microbiome, and prebiotics like fructooligosaccharides (FOS) may enhance this process. A study found that maternal FOS supplementation led to significant shifts in milk microbiota composition, with maternal age influencing the response. While no specific bacterial genera showed statistical changes, the overall microbiota trajectory was more dynamic in the FOS group. This… Read More

The study investigates the potential antidepressant properties of amber extract. Amber, a plant resin traditionally used in medicine, was administered to mice subjected to restraint stress to assess its effects on depression-like behaviors and oxidative stress markers. The findings suggest that amber extract may possess antidepressant effects, as evidenced by reduced immobility time in the… Read More

A new study has found that partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG), a plant-based prebiotic fiber, significantly improves skin hydration, elasticity, and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), particularly during winter. The findings highlight the growing role of dietary fiber in skin health. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial included 70 healthy participants (9 males, 61 females, mean age… Read More

Power up your workouts with Brussels chicory, a natural powerhouse rich in phenolic acids! This functional ingredient enhances aerobic exercise performance, increasing time to exhaustion by 8.3% in men and 12.2% in women. A randomized, placebo-controlled crossover trial investigated the effects of Brussels chicory juice (rich in phenolic acids) on aerobic exercise performance and post-exercise… Read More

The study explored the effects of salidroside supplementation on exercise performance in healthy young adults. Results indicated improved oxygen uptake during high-intensity exercise and reduced muscle damage, as shown by stable myoglobin levels in the salidroside group. Participants also maintained performance and mood stability, while the placebo group showed fatigue and reduced exercise capacity. These… Read More
