A new study on Akay Natural Ingredients’ FenuMat® Boswellia and CurQfen® (curcumin) indicated that a combination of these actives could support joint health by alleviating pain and increasing mobility by targeting multiple inflammatory pathways.
Caffeine Might Prolong Longevity
A recent study on the effect of caffeine in fission yeast showed that caffeine activates the AMPK system responsible for cell growth, DNA repair, and stress response, all factors linked to aging and health.
Blackcurrant Extract Increases Fat Burn
New research on CurraNZ® New Zealand Blackcurrant Extract suggested that the occurring flavonoid anthocyanin increases fat burn rates by up to 200% after exercise and could potentially be used as a safe weight-management alternative to GLP-1 drugs.
Hyaluronic Acid Matrix Improves Skin Health
A new study on Bioiberica’s ingredient Dermial® showed that the active supports skin health by improving the skin’s barrier function and microtopography. The ingredient contains hyaluronic acid, collagen, and glycosaminoglycans, including dermatan sulfate.
Tocotrienol-Enriched Beverage Supports Longevity
A new study confirmed that a tocotrienol-enriched functional beverage containing PhytoGaia’s TocoGaia™ preserves antioxidant defences and genomic stability, while improving the psychological well-being of participants. Furthermore, the study reported no adverse effects, highlighting the safety of the ingredient.
Astaxanthin Supports Skin Health
A recent study, which has not been published, on AQUANOVA’s NovaSOL® ASTAXANTHIN demonstrated that this beauty-from-within ingredient improves key skin parameters, such as luminosity, whiteness, texture, and reduces redness.
Micronutrient Deficiencies Linked to Chronic Pain
A cross-sectional analysis of the US population showed a possible connection between micronutrient deficiencies and chronic pain. The results showed a higher incidence of deficiencies in vitamins D, C, B12, folate, and magnesium in people with severe chronic pain.
Ginger Extract Could Reduce Joint Inflammation
A new study on Specnova’s GingerT3®, a low-dose fast-acting ginger extract, showed the active’s favorable effect on perceptions of pain, functional capacity, and inflammatory markers in participants with mild to moderate muscle and joint pain.
Synbiotic-Butyrate Capsule Could Improve IBS
New research revealed that a biotic mixture of microencapsulated butyrate, probiotics, and short-chain fructooligosaccharides is safe and effective in improving gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
Seaweed-Derived Prebiotic Enhances Gut Health
A recent study including Oceanium’s OCEAN ACTIVES® H+, a seaweed-derived prebiotic, demonstrated that the ingredient promotes gut health and amplifies genetic pathways linked to inflammation reduction, metabolic function, and short-chain fatty acid production.
STGaia™ Enters Clinical Trial Evaluating Longevity Effect
PhytoGaia announced a new clinical trial involving its proprietary STGaia™ plant squalene of tocotrienols and tocopherol. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will evaluate the ingredient’s role in healthy aging, telomere preservation, and cellular longevity. It will involve healthy participants aged 50-75 with a study duration of six months.
KABP Probiotic Blend Improves Digestion
A new study involving AB-BIOTICS and Kaneka Probiotics’ INNERIM®, a probiotic blend containing L. plantarum KABP031 and KABP032, revealed the supplement’s ability to support gastrointestinal health, immunity, and quality of life in older people who experienced difficulties with defecation and hard stool consistency.
