"Weight-loss drug" Semalutide could be used for teen weight loss, and also help heart health 2023-12-20
Semaglutide (Wegovy), the "miracle weight-loss drug" that recently became a hot topic because it helped the world's richest man, Elon Musk, successfully lose weight, has once again appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). This new study shows that Semaglutide, which has been approved for weight loss in obese or overweight adults, can also help adolescents lose weight and contribute to heart health! The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on November 2, 2022, showed that obese adolescents who used somaglutide once a week saw their body mass index (BMI) drop by 16.1%, compared to a 0.6% rise in the placebo group in this international Phase 3a clinical trial. SomalutideSomalutide (Semaglutide), developed by Novo Nordisk, was originally developed for the treatment of diabetes and is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which mimics its effects by reducing hunger, eating less, and consuming fewer calories, and is therefore effective in weight loss. In February 2021, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published the results of a large-scale global clinical trial showing that somatostatin was outstandingly effective as a weight-loss drug, with the experimental group that received 2.4 mg of somatostatin subcutaneously every week losing an average of 15.3 kilograms of body weight compared to the placebo group. Specifically, three-quarters of the people lost more than 10 percent of their body weight, and more than one-third
What exactly are plant extracts? Are they additives or foods? 2023-11-27
Plant extracts have a very high safety for consumption because they are less resistant and less prone to additive residues and certain toxic side effects. In recent years, the research and development of plant extracts as raw materials for functional food and beverage has become a hot research topic in various countries. In the new coronavirus ravaged Europe and the United States now, foreign consumers are crazy to buy botanicals to ward off influenza. Plant extracts are substances derived from plants (e.g., herbs, spices, essential oils, etc.) that are extracted or processed using appropriate solvents or methods (e.g., concentration, distillation, extraction, separation, drying). 01 How are plant extracts categorized? According to the different traits, they can be divided into plant oils, extracts, powders, crystals, etc.; according to the function, they can be divided into growth promoters, immunomodulators, antioxidants, flavoring agents, deodorants, mildew inhibitors, product quality improvers, etc. According to the different components of extracts, they are divided into alkaloids, flavonoids, polysaccharides, glycosides, volatile oils, organic acids and other compounds. 02 Main components of plant extracts (1) Alkaloids, i.e. plant alkaloids, are important active ingredients in herbal medicine, common ones are e.g. small
Two of the most common whitening ingredients, do you know about them? 2023-11-15
The color of human skin is influenced by the pigmentation system. Melanin is the product of melanocytes, and the content and distribution of these pigments are the main factors determining skin color. Melanocytes are one of the important constituent cells of the skin, with dendrites. The synthesized melanin is secreted into keratinocytes through the dendrites, and then discharged from the body with the shedding of keratinocytes, which exists in the basal layer of the epidermis and affects the skin color of human beings. Whitening products are mainly designed around inhibiting melanin formation, transit and accelerating melanin shedding. Today let's take a look at what common whitening efficacy ingredients are found in skin care products. The "Star" Ingredient, Niacinamide When it comes to niacinamide, many people know that it can whiten the skin, which is one of the most common ingredients in whitening products, niacinamide can "hide" the melanin, so as to achieve the effect of whitening. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is one of the B vitamins. Its whitening mechanism mainly consists of: 1) inhibiting the formation of melanin particles; 2) inhibiting the transfer of melanin to keratinocytes; 3) accelerating the transfer of melanin from keratinocytes to the stratum corneum and promoting the shedding of the stratum corneum. Clinical observation and research show that skin care products with niacinamide can further reduce the number and range of pigmentation of human skin, etc. Long-term use of skin care products containing niacinamide can promote skin color fading and produce the efficacy of spot removal

2023 New study shows potential for NMN to improve male infertility due to diabetes 2023-09-11
Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic metabolic disease that can cause a variety of health problems, including male infertility. In recent years, a widely studied biomolecule called nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) has attracted the interest of researchers because it is thought to have potential for improving male infertility caused by diabetes. How does NMN affect men? What are the benefits and effects of NMN for men? W+NMN USA will explore how NMN may play a role in this regard and the potential benefits associated with other health issues. Research from the W+NMN Headquarters Laboratory in New York, USA, has found that NMN can help improve sperm quality and increase sperm count and motility. This could be a key improvement factor for diabetics. 1. NMN reverses diabetes-induced testicular dysfunction. Liao and his colleagues treated mice with a chemotherapy drug called streptozotocin, which is toxic to pancreatic cells and is known to induce type II diabetes in mice. Their diabetic mouse model showed significantly lower sperm counts and a higher percentage of abnormal sperm.NMN treatment reversed the reduced sperm counts and abnormal sperm abundance in diabetic mice. Ma et al . (2022 | ABBS) NMN increases sperm count and decreases abnormal sperm, with diabetic mice (DM) showing a large decrease in sperm count (A) and an increase in abnormal sperm (B) compared to healthy mice (Ctrl), but NM (DM + NM) restores these defects.
The importance of food additives 2023-08-28
Food additives play a crucial role in the production and preservation of food products. These substances are added to foods to enhance taste, appearance, texture, and to extend shelf life. With the increasing demand for processed and packaged foods, the use of food additives has become widespread in the food industry. This article will discuss the importance of food additives in ensuring food safety and quality. One important role of food additives is enhancing the taste and flavor of food products. Many additives, such as sweeteners and flavor enhancers, are used to improve the palatability of foods. Sweeteners like sucralose and stevia are commonly added to low-calorie and sugar-free products, providing a sweet taste without the added calories. Similarly, flavor enhancers like monosodium glutamate (MSG) are added to savory dishes to intensify their taste and make them more appetizing. Food additives also contribute to the appearance and texture of food products. Colors, for instance, are added to enhance or restore the visual appeal of food items. Natural colors derived from fruits, vegetables, and spices are commonly used, as well as synthetic ones that are carefully tested for safety. Texture modifiers, such as thickeners and stabilizers, are added to improve the consistency of various food products, including sauces, dressings, and dairy products like yogurt. These additives help maintain a desirable mouthfeel and prevent separation or clumping. Another critical function of food ad
Why is NMN considered an wonderful anti-aging supplement? 2023-08-15
As technology continues to advance, mankind's pursuit of health and longevity is growing. In recent years, a molecule called NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) has attracted widespread attention in the field of anti-aging. Many studies have proved that NMN has significant anti-aging effects, and is therefore known as the "miracle drug of anti-aging". So, how does NMN achieve this miraculous effect? This article will provide a detailed analysis. What is NMN? NMN is a substance found in our bodies, also known as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which is a coenzyme that is essential for cellular energy production. However, as we age, the amount of NMN in our body decreases, which is a major cause of aging. How is NMN anti-aging? The anti-aging effects of NMN are mainly in the following aspects: 1. Increase NAD+ level: NAD+ is one of the key coenzymes in the human body, responsible for participating in thousands of biochemical reactions. As we grow older, the level of NAD+ in our body will gradually decrease, and NMN can effectively replenish this substance, thus increasing the level of NAD+ and helping the body to maintain vitality. 2. Repairing DNA: DNA is the substance that constitutes genes and is also an important factor in determining our physical characteristics. As we age, DNA can become damaged, which can lead to a range of diseases. NMN can help the b

Expert: Excessive intake of aspartame is harmful! 2023-06-21
On hot summer days, when the heat is unbearable, a bottle of ice-cold cola has become the joy of many people's hearts. Nowadays, with people's growing concern for health, various beverages have boasted the advantages of zero-sugar and zero-calorie. However, do you understand that these so-called zero-sugar, zero-calorie drinks hide an artificial sugar substitute - aspartame. Aspartame is a common food additive designed to provide sweetness to foods and beverages without adding calories. However, according to a statement from the World Health Organization (WHO), the artificial sugar substitute "aspartame" is classified as a potential carcinogen, along with a number of other substances such as mobile phone radiation, sauerkraut, pesticides, and petrol, as a "Group 2B carcinogen". Aspartame is a non-sugar artificial sweetener that is often used as a substitute for sucrose and is widely added to a variety of foods and beverages, especially products labelled as "zero sugar, zero calories". Because it provides sweetness with few added calories, it is popular with many people who are trying to lose weight or control their sugar intake. Globally, aspartame is found in more than 6,000 products, and the following are some of the most common foods that contain aspartame: Sugar-free soft drinks/cola. Sugar-free chewing gum. Sugar-free diet drinks. Low-sugar flavourings, such as "sugar-free syrups" and other products. Sugar-free gelatin, more commonly found in sugar-free jellies.
Some questions you want to know about sweeteners 2023-05-16
What are sweeteners? Sweeteners are divided into artificial and natural sweeteners, but the line is not clear, for example, some artificial sweeteners are extracted from natural plants or sucrose itself, while some natural sweeteners are extracted and processed in a way that alters their properties and are not as natural as we might think. Both artificial and natural sweeteners are sugar substitutes, but unlike sucrose they have little to no energy, so many drinks are sweetened to control energy and help with weight control. How do sweeteners work? Our tongues are covered with many taste buds, each containing several taste receptors that detect different flavours. When eating, the taste receptors encounter food molecules, and the perfect fit between the receptor and the molecule sends signals to the brain, enabling it to recognise flavours. For example, a sugar molecule binds perfectly to a taste receptor, allowing the brain to recognise sweetness. Sweetener molecules are similar enough to sugar molecules to allow sweet receptors to bind to them. But different enough from sugar that the body can't break it down. This provides sweetness without adding calories.

Information about some popular artificial sweeteners 2022-12-27
Aspartame Aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sucrose. Aspartame is the most commonly used sweetener in sugar-free colas owned by Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. Some studies have pointed to a possible link between aspartame and weight gain and cancer. But since FDA approval in 1981, no convincing evidence has been found linking aspartame to weight gain and cancer. The World Health Organisation and the American Dietetic Association have stated that moderate intake of aspartame does not pose a health risk. Aspartame breaks down into three products when ingested: aspartic acid, methanol and phenylalanine. The levels of these chemicals are relatively low compared to other foods, such as milk. All three products are safe for the general population, but some people with a genetic disorder called phenylketonuria (or PKU) cannot metabolise phenylalanine. Acesulfame Potassium Acesulfame is approximately 200 to 250 times sweeter than sucrose. It has a similar sweetness to aspartame and also contains few calories. One of the characteristics of acesulfame is that it has the effect of enhancing sweetness when mixed with other sweeteners, so it is often mixed with aspartame. Acesulfame can be widely used in solid beverages, sauces, preserves, gummies, and various foodstuffs used as sweeteners for the table. Acesulfame is not metabolised and does not accumulate in the human body, 100% of it is excreted from the body in urine in its original form. The use of acesulfame in strict compliance with the standards and regulations will not cause harm to the health of consumers.

Who needs to supplement glutathione? 2022-09-23
Why there is so many glutathione supplements on the market? Glutathione is a peptide composed of glycine, cysteine and glutamic acid and it plays a vital role in the body. It is produced by the liver and is involved in many bodily processes. Glutathione is involved in tissue building and repair, making chemicals and proteins that the body needs, and immune system function. Glutathione is also an important antioxidant, it can remove free radicals in the human body, clean and purify the environmental pollution in the human body, thereby improving people's physical and mental health. Since reduced glutathione itself is susceptible to oxidation by certain substances, it can protect the sulfhydryl groups in many proteins and enzymes from being oxidized by harmful substances such as free radicals in the body, so that molecules such as proteins and enzymes can exert their physiological functions. Glutathione may seem similar to other well-known antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E, but it's worth noting that unlike most antioxidants, your body can make glutathione on its own. But glutathione deficiency increases susceptibility to oxidative stress, which may be the underlying cause of many diseases, including cancer, heart disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, so we need dietary or supplements to maintain it. The Glutathione supplied by Lyphar is reduced glutathione more with more than 98% purity, widely used for healthcare and cosmetic fileds. Bas
