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
Dietary supplementation with a concentrate enriched in milk fat globule membranes (MFGMs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs) promotes the accretion of distinct sphingolipid profiles in aged sedentary rats, including reductions in plasma ceramides associated with elevated cardiovascular risk. Over a 25-week intervention, the MFGM/EV-rich supplement significantly improved lipoprotein particle profiles marked by reduced triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and… Read More
This double-blind, parallel-group randomized controlled trial examined the effects of a tocotrienol-enriched drink on markers of aging, oxidative stress, genomic integrity, and psychological well-being in 67 community-dwelling older adults (mean age ≈ 60.5 years) over six months. Participants were divided into two groups, with assessments conducted at baseline, mid-point, and study end. Compared to placebo,… Read More
