“This early biomarker research adds to vitamin D's established roles in bone and mineral physiology, while clinical use remains individualized. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Katie Couric's Next Question.”

“Together, these studies show why prescription products and ordinary fish-oil supplements must be evaluated according to their specific ingredients and intended use. Higher fish intake and omega-3 biomarkers are also associated with more favorable cognitive-aging outcomes in longitudinal research.”

“The studies encompassed a range of breathwork styles and measured various biomarkers, including malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, glutathione, nitric oxide, vitamin C, and total antioxidant capacity levels.”

“They found that more than 1.2 million participants had poor oral health, while the remainder had normal oral health. Those with poor oral health were more than twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those with normal oral health, regardless of age, gender, or serum biomarkers.”

“The two groups' biomarkers were similar at the beginning of the intervention, but YKL-40 and NfL increased slightly in the group that received the omega-3 fatty acid supplement, indicating a possible increase in neurodegeneration and inflammatory responses.”

“While this particular study looked at CRP levels through the lens of breast cancer risk, elevated CRP is associated with several types of cancers as well as other chronic diseases.”

“This double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed that supplementation with 2.9 grams of omega-3 fatty acids per day for 6 months has a significant effect on the immune system by decreasing inflammatory biomarkers by 50% and increasing anti-inflammatory markers by 100%.”

“People that were given a stress test to induce an inflammatory response had an exaggerated immune response and elevated biomarkers of inflammation if they grew up in an urban environment compared to those that were raised in a rural environment surrounded by animals.”

“Olfactory cells in the nose that are responsible for a sense of smell require a constant supply of new stem cells from the olfactory bulb, a region in the forebrain. NOTE: Many other factors can lead to a poor sense of smell so other biomarkers need to be looked at in addition to sense of smell.”

“Half of the girls engaged in three sprint-training sessions for two weeks, while the other half continued their regular physical activities. The investigators measured the girls' metabolic biomarkers, BDNF concentrations, and working memory before and after the intervention.”
