“Participants who took vitamin D performed significantly better on tests of cognitive function. Supplementation also increased telomere length and decreased markers of oxidative stress in the blood.”

“The authors of the study tested the participants' blood for the presence of antibodies to the spike protein (the primary infectious particle of the SARS-CoV-2 virus) as well as other viral particles at the time of enrollment and at subsequent follow-up visits.”

“The participants underwent muscle endurance tests and a timed walking test at the beginning of the study and again at various timepoints throughout the study. Study investigators measured ATP production in the participants' muscle and acylcarnitines, ceramides, and C-reactive protein (markers of mitochondrial health and inflammation) in the participants' blood.”

“The cognitive test results indicated that participants with high inflammation experienced marked cognitive improvements after anthocyanin treatment, while those with lower inflammation saw no benefit.”

“The authors drew blood from the participants and assessed their metabolic, physical, and cognitive health at baseline and at 12, 24, and 36 weeks after the start of the intervention. Assessments included measures of mitochondrial fuel oxidation, oxidative stress, inflammation, glucose metabolism, body composition, and strength tests, among others.”

“The men wore continuous glucose monitors and tracked their dietary intake and physical activity. After a one-week baseline period, the men's metabolic response to a liquid test meal containing carbohydrates and protein was assessed.”

“They measured metabolic health by having participants complete an oral glucose tolerance test in which they consumed 75 grams of glucose (the amount of sugar in about two cans of non-diet soda) and had their blood glucose measured over two hours.”

“BPA & BPS: These compounds act like estrogen in the body, disrupting hormones and affecting everything from fertility to brain function. A study in the journal _Hypertension _revealed that consuming beverages from BPA-lined cans can spike blood pressure in just a few hours.”

“Researchers measured chair-stand performance as the main outcome, along with other measures of physical function and quality of life, C-reactive protein (CRP, a marker of inflammation), epigenetic age measures (estimates of biological age based on chemical tags on DNA), routine safety blood tests, and adverse events.”

“Brain imaging showed no clear difference between groups in the loss of dopamine-producing nerve connections affected by Parkinson's disease. Although NR markedly increased blood NAD levels, brain imaging provided no clear evidence that it increased NAD levels in the brain compared with placebo.”
