A recent study explores how calanus oil supplementation, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, plant sterols, and astaxanthin impacts glucose regulation in obese adults with insulin resistance. In a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 266 participants, researchers tested different doses of calanus oil (2 g/day and 4 g/day), both with and without lifestyle intervention. The… Read More

In a groundbreaking leap from infant nutrition to sports science, 6’-Sialyllactose (6’-SL)—a functional sugar found in human breast milk—is showing promising new applications for adult muscle health and exercise performance. Recent preclinical studies reveal that 6’-SL supplementation significantly enhances endurance, grip strength, and muscle mass in mice, while also reducing fatigue biomarkers like blood lactate… Read More

In a four-week randomized study, healthy adults consuming high amounts of red and processed meat saw unfavorable gut changes—like reduced beneficial microbes and increased markers linked to colon cancer. However, adding 200 g/day of mixed berries significantly boosted intake of protective nutrients and polyphenols, maintained healthier gut microbiota, increased fecal levels of anticancer metabolites (like… Read More

A new study shows that a specific probiotic blend containing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Pediococcus acidilactici strains can help repair gut barrier dysfunction in IBS patients. Researchers found that the probiotic reduced intestinal permeability caused by inflammatory mediators from IBS biopsies. It also boosted the expression of protective genes like β-actin and CYP1A1, possibly through the… Read More

The study investigates whether specific light conditions can enhance the production of active vitamin B₁₂ in Spirulina, a blue-green algae. Traditionally, Spirulina contains predominantly a pseudo-vitamin B₁₂ form, which is inactive in humans. In this in vitro exploratory research, scientists grown Spirulina in scalable LEDs-controlled photobioreactors in order to stimulate the production of biologically active… Read More
