In a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 56 overweight and mildly obese adults (average BMI of 31.66) were administered either 300 mg/day of D. glomerata (DYG-400®) or a placebo for 60 days. Results showed that the D. glomerata group… Read More
Two University of Arizona professors, Dr. Floyd Chilton and Dr. Joel Cuello, are pioneering a sustainable spirulina-based solution to address global food insecurity and malnutrition. Their work centers on cultivating spirulina, a high-protein cyanobacteria, in cost-effective bioreactors designed to operate in climate-affected regions. Spirulina, with 78% protein per dry weight, offers complete essential amino acids… Read More
A recent study has shed light on a unique subset of amyloid beta proteins, referred to as “superspreaders,” that seem to spread throughout brain tissue more rapidly in Alzheimer’s disease. By observing amyloid beta proteins under an atomic force microscope in a salt solution mimicking brain conditions, researchers found that some amyloid beta proteins, specifically… Read More
Recent research found that higher dietary zinc intake may be associated with a reduced risk of endometriosis among women. Researchers analyzed data from 4,315 women aged 20 to 54, utilizing information from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted from 1999 to 2006.
