Adolescents often consume less than the recommended amounts from dietary sources like meat and fish, making creatine monohydrate supplementation a… Read More
A new study suggests that taking 1 gram of omega-3 daily, especially when combined with vitamin D (2,000 IU) and regular exercise, may slow biological aging.The research, based on data from the DOHEALTH trial involving 777 Swiss older adults, analyzed the effects of these interventions on DNA methylation (DNAm) clocks, a key marker of biological… Read More
The study examines the impact of purple corn anthocyanins (APM) on obesity and metabolic health through hepatic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation. Anthocyanins from purple corn (APM) supplementation at a dose of 400 mg per kilogram of body weight significantly reduced body weight, epididymal fat mass, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced… Read More
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
