The study focuses on extracting pectins from the fruit of Passiflora ligularis and evaluating their potential use as a natural moisturizing ingredient in cosmetic formulations. The researchers optimized the extraction process to obtain pectin with good purity and stability, then characterized it using physicochemical and structural analyses. They found that the extracted pectin has strong… Read More

Pycnogenol, a standardized French maritime pine bark extract, demonstrated efficacy in short-term randomized, placebo-controlled ADHD trials, improving hyperactivity, inattentiveness, and visual-motor coordination. Mechanistically, its effects are attributed to nitric oxide–mediated modulation of catecholamine signaling, potent antioxidant activity, normalization of urinary catecholamines, and enhanced cerebral blood flow. Despite minimal side effects, limited sample sizes and study… Read More

New research has highlighted the potential of β-alanine—a naturally occurring amino acid linked to muscle endurance—to enhance athletic performance. Known for its role in forming carnosine, a compound that buffers acid in muscles, β-alanine may offer athletes an edge during intense training.In a short-term trial involving individuals engaged in High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT), participants were… Read More

Prolonged sitting can temporarily impair vascular function, even in healthy young adults, by reducing endothelial responsiveness in both the upper and lower limbs and increasing diastolic blood pressure. In this controlled crossover trial in 18 healthy young men (9 high-fit, 9 low-fit) tested whether cocoa flavanols can counteract vascular impairment from 2 hours of uninterrupted… Read More

This review examined 71 studies on nutrition for female athletes. High-carbohydrate diets improve performance in activities that drain glycogen, and high-GI or carb-rich pre-exercise meals boost energy use. Eating 5–6 protein-rich meals (25 g+ each) supports muscle building. Supplements like caffeine, nitric-oxide boosters, beta-alanine, carbs, proteins, and micronutrients (when deficient) can enhance performance and health.… Read More
