Top Medical Research Studies

We investigated how benfotiamine might impact stomach ulcers in male rats. The study involved dividing 30 rats into groups receiving different treatments, including benfotiamine at varying doses, following the induction of ulcers using indomethacin.

Our results showed that benfotiamine notably decreased gastric damage and lowered inflammation markers. Specifically, doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg appeared to enhance antioxidant levels and reduce tissue damage.

However, while these findings are promising, more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms at play and assess benfotiamine's potential for human treatment.

ImproWin® aids gastric ulcer healing
We aimed to determine if ImproWin®, a feed additive, could help improve gastric ulcers in Standardbred and Coldblooded trotting racehorses. By conducting a randomized, double-blinded study, we assessed horses' ulcers before and after three weeks of treatment.

Our results showed a significant reduction in ulcer scores for horses treated with ImproWin®, with 78% classified as responders compared to only 54.8% in the placebo group. This indicates that ImproWin® may be beneficial for aiding the healing of gastric ulcers in affected racehorses.

Folic acid has mixed effects
We examined how different doses of folic acid supplementation affect ulcer formation in rats. Male Wistar rats were treated with varying doses for 21 days while gastric ulcers were induced with indomethacin.

We found that a dose of 2 mg/kg significantly reduced gastric lesions, while a higher dose of 3 mg/kg unexpectedly worsened damage. Our results suggest that low doses of folic acid can be protective for the stomach, but high doses could pose risks.

Thus, it appears that moderation is key when considering folic acid for ulcer treatment.

Mouth ulcers have completely healed. Regardless of how many hours I sleep, I feel energised and no longer suffer from ulcers. After taking this supplement, I wake up earlier and feel fantastic. If you tire easily, I highly recommend trying it!

I trust the quality of Now Foods. Since I started taking one tablet daily, I no longer experience mouth ulcers, even when tired or consuming carbs. This product is cost-effective compared to others I've tried, although the tablets are quite large and have a sour taste.

Following Dr. Tokumi Fujikawa's nutritional therapy, I've found this supplement highly beneficial. It offers good quality and a robust range of ingredients. I give it to my son for acne and have noted its significant effect on mouth ulcers when paired with zinc and vitamin C.

We analyzed the potential connection between folic acid supplementation and gastric ulcers using data from the UK Biobank and advanced statistical methods.

Our findings suggest that folic acid may significantly lower the risk of developing gastric ulcers.

Various robust models reinforced this result, showing consistent outcomes across different analyses.

Ultimately, this research provides genetic evidence supporting the idea that receiving folic acid therapy can be beneficial in reducing gastric ulcer risk.

Effective ulcer treatment in diabetes
We explored the effects of Luffa acutangula extracts on gastric ulcers in diabetic rats. By inducing non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and then creating gastric ulcers, we evaluated the extracts' potential for healing.

The results showed that the methanolic extract significantly boosted healing, improving protective mucosal glycoproteins and antioxidant levels. This was better than the aqueous extract and standard treatments.

Overall, Luffa acutangula appears to offer promising support for treating gastric ulcers in diabetes, highlighting its dual action in managing both conditions.

Effective treatment for oral ulcers
We explored the effectiveness of mecobalamin and vitamin E in treating recurrent oral ulcers. In a study with 58 patients, those receiving both treatments showed significantly improved healing times and reduced symptoms compared to the control group. They experienced longer periods without ulcer flare-ups and better quality of life scores. Both groups felt pain relief, but the test group had more noticeable benefits. This finding suggests that mecobalamin and vitamin E can be a valuable addition to ulcer treatment, enhancing both comfort and recovery.
