2026/01/04

A 2025 randomized, double-blind crossover study published in Nutrients investigated whether Rhodiola rosea (RR) could improve elite performance in just seven days. Testing 27 resistance-trained adults, researchers compared a low dose (200 mg/day) and a high dose (1500 mg/day) against a placebo.The results were dose-specific: the low dose significantly increased Bench Press 1RM by 5.59 kg and boosted muscular endurance in the third set by 39.6%. Conversely, the high dose was most effective for the

A massive analysis of 20,186 Billboard Hot 100 song lyrics from 1973 to 2023 provides quantifiable proof that our music is becoming a mirror for our rising collective stress. Over five decades, researchers documented a significant increase in stress-related language and a linear decline in positive sentiment. Songs have also become steadily simpler and more repetitive, mirroring broader cultural shifts in attention and complexity.However, the study reveals a critical health insight: during major

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial investigated the effect of a 7-day creatine monohydrate (CrM) loading phase (20 g/day) on physically active men. The study found that CrM improved subjective sleep quality (SSQ) compared to the placebo (PL). CrM was also associated with an earlier in-bed time. Additionally, after the loading phase, CrM enhanced cognitive performance on the Digit Cancellation Test (DCT) and reduced perceived muscle soreness. CrM also increased physical

2025/11/23

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is linked to aging and errors in how our genes are processed, a mechanism known as dysfunctional alternative RNA splicing (ASEs). The metabolite NAD+ is known to slow AD progression in preclinical studies.This 2025 study in Science Advances provides a new mechanism . Researchers found that NAD+ augmentation corrects these harmful splicing errors. It appears to do this by regulating a key protein called EVA1C, which the study found is reduced in the hippocampus of human

A study in the journal Nutrients explored the effects of Lepidium meyenii Walpers (LMW), also known as Maca, on salivary gland damage caused by radiation in mice. Researchers found that mice treated with an LMW extract (LMWE) showed significant improvements compared to an untreated radiation-injury group. Specifically, LMWE treatment reduced the saliva secretion lag time from about 198 seconds in the injured group to as low as 159 seconds. Furthermore, the higher dose of LMWE increased salivary

A recent 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study explored the effects of the probiotic strain Weizmannia coagulans BC99 on symptoms of anxiety and depression. The trial involved 79 participants who received either 3 grams of the BC99 probiotic, containing 5 billion CFUs, or a placebo daily. While both groups saw improvements, the BC99 group experienced a greater reduction in depression and anxiety scores (HAMD and HAMA scales) compared to the placebo group, though this

A new study in the journal Food Quality and Preference investigated if increasing the spiciness of a meal could influence eating behaviors and reduce how much food people consume. In a series of experiments, researchers had adults eat either a mild or a spicy version of beef chili or chicken tikka masala in a lab setting. The results were significant: when participants ate the spicy beef chili, they consumed 11% less food (about 46 grams) and ate 11% more slowly compared to when they ate the mild

A recent study in the journal GeroScience investigated how age-related declines in cellular energy, specifically the molecule Guanosine triphosphate (GTP), affect waste clearance in brain cells. Using hippocampal neurons from an Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model, researchers found a significant, age-dependent reduction in free GTP levels, which was accelerated in the AD model neurons. This energy deficit was shown to impair critical cellular processes like endocytosis and autophagy, leading

A recent study in Advanced Healthcare Materials reports a novel method for regenerating tooth enamel using water-based films made from keratin, a protein abundant in sources like wool. Researchers found that these keratin films can self-assemble into organized scaffolds that guide the growth of aligned apatite nanocrystals, mimicking natural enamel formation. When applied to artificially created early enamel lesions (white spot lesions), the keratin-based system was able to repair the damage,

A study in the journal Nature has uncovered a significant link between the brain's natural lithium levels and Alzheimer's disease (AD). After analyzing 27 different metals in post-mortem human brain tissue, researchers found lithium was the only one significantly reduced in individuals with both mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD. The research also showed that amyloid-β plaques, a key marker of AD, trap lithium, which further lowers its availability for use by brain cells.To confirm this
