Breakfast of the Healthy: Coffee... or a Purple-Orange Carrot Smoothie? Chlorogenic Acid in Coffee and Beyond

Written by | published on

Don't worry you can  stick to coffee Good news has become scarce in 2020, it feels. So, let's appreciate the ones we have:  A coffee shortage is not in sight . Reason enough for me to write another "latest coffee research"-article. One that turned out to be a chlorogenic acid (#CGA) article because ...  well, it's still 2020, so scientists drink coffee to speed up their warp-speed operations and don't spend time investigating the effects of the stimulant the world is craving (Think you're drinking a lot of coffee? Are you a Fin ?). You can learn more about coffee and caffeine at the SuppVersity For Caffeine, Timing Matters! 45 Min or More?

Written by | published on

Unless it's done in excess, exercise is a universal health booster ... and it can make you look great naked ;-) In the latest edition of the short news, I am going to address recently published papers from Exercise and Sport Science Reviews  that shed a new light on the way(s) your muscle grow and suggest that exercise is able to cure NAFLD at least partly due to its ability to activate hepatic autophagy. In conjunction with three studies from the July issue of  Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise  that dealt with the link between leisure-time physical activity and telomere length, the underlying reason grandpa (and -ma) are at a very high risk of fall (hint: it's a neuromuscular weakness) and the validity of "use it or lose it" when it comes to the cartilage tissue in your knee.

Heart Rate ↘, BP ↗ | Anxiety + Sleep Issues | Bitter Taste = Big Effect -- SuppVersity Caffeine Research Update June '17

Written by | published on

This is not the coffee research update. That's important because coffee has a lot of health benefits that are unrelated or at least not directly related to its most famous ingredient, i.e. caffeine. You may have seen it in the Facebook News , or on the SuppVersity Twitter Channel already: If you don't get your habitual quantity of coffee, your coffee cravings will ruin not just your day, but also your cognitive performance ( learn more about the Palmer study). Palmer's caffeine craving study is yet not the only recent caffeine study that's (SuppVersity-)news-worthy. Likewise worth mentioning are papers by Turley, et al. (2017), Distelberg et al. (2017), Soares et al. (2017) and Pool et al. (2017) - three studies that address the physiological (CNS, metabolism, etc.) response(s) to caffeine in various contexts.

Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid (TUDCA) - Research Overview: Newly Appreciated Liver Protectant, Potential Antidiabetic, Thyroid Booster and a Heart- and Neuroprotective Agent!?

Written by | published on

Image 1: If you decide to start your own TUDCA import/export company, make sure you get your supply from chemical sources in the Far East and not from a bear farm like this in the northern province of Quang Ninh, Vietnam, where bear bile is "harvested" and sold to tourists for $500+/20cc (TalkVietnam. 2012) Last week's " On Very Short Notice " item on the ability of TUDCA, i.e. tauroursodeoxycholic acid to stimulate the conversion of the "inactive" thyroid hormone T4 to its active counterpart T3 has caused quite a stir and instigated questions related to appropriate dosages and other potential benefits of a previously largely overlooked bile acid. With the recent interest from "using" muscle heads looking to protect their liver and overall health, however, the demand for TUDCA appears to be so high that whichever source Nutraplanet , the only major retailer I know of that has been selling bulk TUDCA at a reasonable price, must have got...
