Clinical trials and reviews give modest, mixed evidence that gelatin or specially treated collagen can modestly reduce appetite or body weight when used as part of a diet program: a 12‑week randomized...
Post‑COVID (long COVID) inflammation is a heterogeneous, low‑grade immune activation that researchers have targeted with dietary strategies and supplements; some agents — notably vitamin D, omega‑3 fa...
Bacopa monnieri can alter drug metabolism via inhibition of several cytochrome P450 enzymes (notably CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19) and may therefore raise or lower blood levels of drugs processed by tho...
High-quality, long-duration randomized controlled trials (RCTs proving durable cognitive benefits or long‑term safety for popular nootropic supplements are scarce: most human trials are small, short (...
Laboratory and animal studies report that honey’s phenolic and flavonoid compounds reduce oxidative stress markers and some neuroinflammatory signals, and in multiple rodent models this corresponds wi...
Laboratory and animal studies report that honey’s antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory and other bioactive compounds can protect neurons and improve memory in models — multiple reviews and preclinical paper...
Studies and reviews show both SARS‑CoV‑2 infection and COVID‑19 vaccination can leave detectable spike protein or spike fragments in blood or tissues for longer than early models predicted; reports do...
Randomized controlled trials support modest average weight loss for a handful of over‑the‑counter (OTC) ingredients: notable meta-analytic estimates include spirulina (≈−1.77 kg), psyllium (≈−3.70 kg)...
