Exciting Developments in Health and Wellness Research

Pre-workout benefits of oral ATP supplementation have been highlighted in a recent systematic review and meta-analysis published in Sports. The study focused on the effects of ATP supplementation on anaerobic performance, specifically looking at maximal strength, maximum repetitions, and maximum aerobic power in healthy resistance-trained subjects. The researchers found that oral ATP supplementation can lead to significantly greater gains in maximal strength compared to a placebo, and that daily intakes of 400 mg of ATP for up to 12 weeks are safe for healthy individuals.

Shawn Baier, Vice President of Business Development for TSI’s Innovative Products Division, expressed satisfaction with the scientific affirmation of their research, stating that the meta-analysis confirms the immediate benefits of PEAK ATP for athletes, weekend warriors, and everyday exercisers.

In another study, Ahiflower oil was found to significantly increase plasma EPA levels in healthy young males, indicating its potential as a plant-derived source of EPA. The research, published in Frontiers in Nutrition, highlighted the ability of Ahiflower oil to improve EPA status in vivo and its anti-inflammatory properties.

Furthermore, a study on collagen supplementation for female joint health showed promising results. Collavant n2, a native type II collagen, was found to improve joint comfort, range of motion, and walking distance in women with knee osteoarthritis. The study suggested that Collavant n2 supplementation could support joint health in women, especially during menopause.

Additionally, probiotics were studied for their impact on cardiometabolic health. The AB-LIFE probiotic formulation was found to reduce cholesterol levels, improve bile acid deconjugation, and decrease LDL levels, all of which are beneficial for cardiovascular health.

Lastly, a study on postbiotics revealed that Wellmune, a baker’s yeast beta glucan postbiotic, can train innate immune cells to be more efficient in responding to foreign invaders. The research showed that Wellmune can support everyday immune health and is suitable for consumption in various functional foods and supplements.

These studies highlight the potential benefits of various supplements and ingredients for improving performance, joint health, cardiovascular health, and immune function. The findings provide valuable insights for individuals looking to enhance their overall well-being through supplementation.
