DID YOU KNOW that a multivitamin-multimineral (MVM) can help all ages?

A study from Nature Medicine found that compared with placebo, daily MVM supplementation modestly reduced the rate of increase of second-generation epigenetic clocks. This means MVM slowed down the aging process in older adults.

New research from the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry report that teens taking a high-dose MVM for eight weeks showed better mood control and less emotional reactivity than those on placebo. Moreover, in severe cases, nearly two-thirds of teens with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder improved significantly on the supplement.

DID YOU KNOW that a study from Frontiers in Nutrition found Lactobacillus Acidophilus (L. Acidophilus) significantly enhanced intestinal peristalsis, thus helping those with slow transit constipation (STC)?

STC is a chronic disease characterized by delayed intestinal transit and weakened spontaneous contractions of colonic smooth muscle. Specifically, they found L. Acidophilus promoted the same areas where gut serotonin is produced.

Of course L. Acidophilus is not a panacea, but certainly can be used as part of a combination therapy so you don't have to rely on laxatives. As we have seen time and again, once you are on laxatives long-term, your ability to perform peristalsis wanes and sometimes never comes back.

Our favorite probiotic strain is in our NCI Well Supplements L. Acidophilus.
