DID YOU KNOW that there have been several fascinating studies on probiotics recently?


Authors from an Archives of Toxicology study report that probiotic supplementation can reduce the negative impacts of Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) on neurodevelopment, behavior, and metabolism. PBDEs are fire-retardant chemicals that are found everywhere -- upholstery, carpets, curtains, electronics, and even infant products. Known to disrupt hormones and persist in the environment, these pollutants have been detected in water, soil, air, food products, animals, human tissues, and even breast milk.


Probiotics, compared with antidepressants and placebo, may be efficacious as an adjunct or standalone therapy for treating major depression, according to a study from Nutrition Reviews.


The administration of probiotics positively modulates the immune system by maintaining homeostasis between individual immune system cells, according to a study from Nutrients. Thus, they have a clear influence on the processes occurring in asthma, especially reducing mucus secretion in the airway, improve parameters of forced expiratory volume, peak expiratory flow, and reduced inflammation.

DID YOU KNOW that boswellia serrata, one of the active ingredients in our new natural NSAID supplement, showed significant efficacy for osteoarthritis symptom reduction?


According to a study of osteoarthritis subjects from The Journal of the American Nutrition Association, taking boswellia daily for six months improved the six-minute walk test and stair climb test. Post-trial MRI assessments of the tibiofemoral joints revealed that the cartilage volume, thickness, and joint space width were increased, and levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, matrix metalloproteinase-3, Fibulin-3, type II collagen degradation peptide in serum, and cross-linked C-terminal telopeptide of type II collagen in urine were significantly reduced.

DID YOU KNOW that flu, COVID, cold, and norovirus are making their winter rounds nationwide, otherwise known as "quad-demic"?


While an unofficial term for the four maladies circulating in tandem evokes a sense of impending doom, it is not so different from years past. There is a common denominator however, they are all viruses.


The best way to fight off viruses, which are with us all year now, is to prime your immune system. Where is the majority of your immune system? In and around your gastrointestinal tract. Optimizing it with the right raw materials (food and beverages) and targeted supplemental immune assistance is the most important thing you can do.


Staying hydrated is just as important in winter as other seasons. In addition, humidifying your home is one way to keep viral activity low while you sleep. Don't forget to get the blood flowing with movement and exercise!
