Vitamin A's key role in thermogenesis
Intact vitamin A transport is critical for cold-mediated adipose tissue browning and thermogenesis.
Most Relevant Research
We explored how vitamin A affects our body’s response to cold, specifically looking at its role in transforming white fat into brown fat, a process known as browning. This transformation is significant, as it can help reduce obesity and improve metabolic health.

In our investigation, we conducted cold exposure studies involving both mice and humans. We observed that exposure to cold led to an increase in circulating vitamin A, also known as retinol, and its transporter protein, Rbp. However, in mice lacking this protein, we found that their ability to adapt to the cold and promote thermogenesis—essentially, generating heat through fat—was severely compromised.

Interestingly, we also noted that stimulating human fat cells with retinol heightened the expression of genes associated with thermogenesis and boosted mitochondrial activity, which is vital for burning fat. In humans, the rise in vitamin A during cold exposure hinted at improved fat utilization.

Overall, our findings revealed that not only are vitamin A levels responsive to cold, but effective transportation of this vitamin is crucial for cold-induced fat browning and the body's ability to generate heat.

Boosts overall health
Most Useful Review
I've been using supergreen products for about two years and switched to Garden of Life six months ago. My overall health has improved significantly, and I haven’t caught a cold in over two years, even when surrounded by illness. My digestion feels optimal, and I have energy to spare, a stark contrast from five years ago. These products have worked wonders for my health.

Probiotic improves IBS-C symptoms
Effect of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus IDCC 3201 on irritable bowel syndrome with constipation: a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial.
Most Relevant Research
We examined the effects of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus IDCC 3201 on patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). In a robust study involving 30 participants, we used a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design.

After eight weeks of treatment, the probiotic group reported significant improvements in bowel activities and discomfort linked to constipation. Notably, symptoms like abdominal bloating also improved.

Our findings suggest that this probiotic might help enhance gut health by promoting beneficial microbes and their metabolites.

Incredible product. I have significant issues with constipation and digestion, and these have helped me immensely. I cannot recommend this highly enough. If you're experiencing any sort of stomach problem, please try this!

Synbiotic improves digestive health
Beneficial effects of a synbiotic supplement on self-perceived gastrointestinal well-being and immunoinflammatory status of healthy adults.
Most Relevant Research
This study looked into how a specific synbiotic product, which includes Lactobacillus acidophilus along with other probiotics and fructooligosaccharides, affects digestive health among healthy adults. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, we monitored 36 participants—20 women and 16 men aged between 25 and 45 years—over six weeks.

Participants received either the synbiotic supplement or a placebo, taking three tablets daily. We gathered information on gastrointestinal symptoms and bowel habits through a self-administered questionnaire, focusing especially on those who experienced digestive disturbances like mild dyspepsia or bloating.

The results were promising; those who took the synbiotic product reported significant improvements in their overall gastrointestinal well-being and bowel movements. Interestingly, we also noted a reduction in a specific immune marker, L-selectin, in the synbiotic group, which could indicate a favorable shift in their immune profile. However, while the improvements in gut health were noteworthy, none of the other immunological parameters were significantly altered.

In summary, this study suggests that including Lactobacillus acidophilus as part of a synbiotic supplement can lead to better digestive comfort and may influence immune-related markers positively. However, pinpointing the exact effect of this specific strain on indigestion alone is challenging, given the multi-strain nature of the synbiotic treatment.

No indigestion felt
Most Useful Review
The Best There Is Out There. My wife and I eat as much organic food as we can. After using this product for about two years, I notice more energy throughout the day. This reduces my appetite, so I eat less, and it also helps detoxify my body. Crucially, I have had no problems with indigestion at all, which was the first effect I noticed. This product is so beneficial that I feel I could live on it alone for days!

Probiotics repair DNA in GERD
sp. Facilitate the Repair of DNA Damage Caused by Bile-Induced Reactive Oxygen Species in Experimental Models of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effects of Lactobacillus species on bile-induced DNA damage in esophageal cells, which occurs during gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). By exposing these bacteria to a bile-rich environment, we found they could survive and interact beneficially with injured cells.

Notably, adding Lactobacillus after bile injury boosted the repair of DNA damage and lessened inflammation. This suggests that these probiotics could play a role in protecting against long-term complications of GERD, like Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer.

No more reflux meds
Most Useful Review
I believe that more greens are better, and Perfect Food makes it easy to consume high-quality greens. I take 3-5 tablets daily alongside a generally healthful diet, and I genuinely feel it's made a difference. I seldom have the reflux symptoms I experienced daily and no longer take medication for it, attributing this to the enzymes and micronutrients found in these greens. At 51, I realise I must take care of my body.

Vitamin C mitigates flu pneumonia
A new mechanism of vitamin C effects on A/FM/1/47(H1N1) virus-induced pneumonia in restraint-stressed mice.
Most Relevant Research
We examined the effects of vitamin C on pneumonia caused by the influenza virus, specifically the H1N1 strain, in mice under stress. The study found that when exposed to restraint stress, the mice experienced increased mortality and more severe pneumonia symptoms.

However, by giving them oral vitamin C at doses of 125 and 250 mg/kg, we observed a significant reduction in these severe outcomes. Vitamin C seemed to modulate the expression of certain genes related to the immune response, such as MAVS and IRF3, and increased the expression of NF-κB, which plays a key role in the body's antiviral defense.

Our research suggested that vitamin C's protective effects might stem from its ability to inhibit excess cortisol production in the adrenal gland, which is often elevated due to stress. By lowering cortisol levels, vitamin C may help reduce susceptibility to influenza infections, making it a potential ally during the flu season, especially for those experiencing stress.

Through these findings, we highlighted a new mechanism for how vitamin C can be beneficial during influenza infections, particularly for those who are feeling overwhelmed.

Strengthened immunity
Most Useful Review
Really helped my weak immune system. I usually get a bad cold or flu several times a year. After using this product for over a year, I haven't suffered from any contagious diseases—no colds, no flus. I recommend it to anyone with a weak immune system.
