This paper reviews nutraceutical interventions for migraine and shows that compounds like magnesium, riboflavin, coenzyme Q10, feverfew, butterbur, and omega-3 fatty acids consistently reduce attack frequency and severity. Emerging agents such as vitamin D, taxifolin, EGCG, and PQQ demonstrate promising anti-inflammatory and mitochondrial benefits. Overall, nutraceuticals provide complementary, evidence backed options for migraine prevention, though… Read More
A new study suggests coffee consumption may reshape the microbiota–gut–brain axis independently of caffeine. Researchers found that regular coffee drinkers showed distinct gut microbiome patterns, including higher levels of Cryptobacterium and Eggerthella species, alongside lower concentrations of neuroactive metabolites such as GABA and indole-derived compounds. Behaviourally, coffee drinkers demonstrated greater impulsivity and emotional reactivity, while… Read More
This study evaluated curcuminoid extract derived from Curcuma longa for its effectiveness in managing vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes in postmenopausal women through a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical design. Curcuminoids, primarily curcumin, are known for their strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In this study, supplementation helped reduce the frequency and severity of vasomotor symptoms… Read More
In an 8-week randomized trial, astaxanthin (20 mg/day) reduced disease activity (DAS-28), improved quality of life (HAQ), and lowered inflammatory markers (ESR, CRP) in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Limited effect on IL-6 and pain. Overall beneficial adjunct therapy. Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40569081/ Read More
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of testosterone therapy in 790 men aged ≥65 years with low serum testosterone (<275 ng/dL) and symptoms of hypogonadism. Over one year, treatment with testosterone gel successfully raised circulating testosterone to mid-normal levels seen in younger men. The most consistent benefit was observed in sexual health, with significant… Read More
