Keeps cold away

A sure cold beater. It definitely works to keep cold and flu at bay. My niece has her 3 kids taking it, and they haven't had colds all year. I haven't had a cold for the 3 years I've been using it. The taste takes some getting used to, but it's absolutely worth it.

Diabetes management beverage study
Development of a sodium hyaluronate-enriched therapeutic formulation with stevia glycoside and mogroside V for the comprehensive management of diabetes and its complications.
Most Relevant Research
Our exploration into the management of diabetes and its complications led us to develop a unique beverage formulation. This drink combines stevia glycoside, mogroside V, and sodium hyaluronate, known as SMH-B, which offers a sweet taste without affecting blood sugar levels.

In our study, we found SMH-B to be more than just enjoyable; it plays a key role in addressing various health issues related to diabetes. These include improving skin moisture and elasticity, alleviating constipation, and even reducing signs of depression.

Importantly, we observed that SMH-B helped lower blood glucose and lipid levels as well, proving to be a multifaceted approach to diabetes management. Such findings indicate that integrating protein in our beverage formulation could possibly enhance digestive health and symptomatic relief for those struggling with constipation.

Dog's constipation resolved
Most Useful Review
This is great for my dogs’ digestion issues. I bought it for my two Siberian Huskies, one of whom had constipation problems, and this has alleviated that completely. The other one loves the taste and finishes all her food since I mix a tablespoon into the kibble. No more picky eating husky! I'll definitely buy more!

Moisturizer benefits eczema management
Effects on the Skin Microbiome by a Moisturizer Formulated for Eczema-Prone and Sensitive Skin.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effects of a specialized moisturizer designed for eczema-prone and sensitive skin on the skin's bacterial communities. In our open-label study involving 12 participants, we focused on a formulation that includes colloidal oatmeal, a specific plant extract, and a unique protein derived from filaggrin. Participants applied the moisturizer twice daily for 21 days, and we looked at changes in their skin microbiome through cheek swab samples collected before and after the treatment.

Our findings revealed that in 10 of the participants, there was a notable increase in bacterial species richness, meaning that a greater variety of bacteria was present on their skin after using the moisturizer. Importantly, these changes did not lead to any harmful shifts in the overall makeup of the skin bacteria, suggesting a positive balance was maintained.

This implies that incorporating moisturizers with anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing properties could be beneficial for managing eczema symptoms. Overall, the study adds valuable insight into how specific ingredients might support skin health in those with sensitive conditions.

PMS pain relief
Most Useful Review
Gorgeous butter! I’m delighted with this purchase, which I made on the advice of a nutritionist. I had a severe deficiency and took vitamin E capsules without noticeable effects. So I tried wheat germ oil. Within a couple of days, my skin rashes started to fade, and most importantly, after a week, my periods began without any pelvic pain, which is a huge victory for me. Usually, I experience strong abdominal cramps, but this time, I didn't need any pills. I wholeheartedly recommend this for anyone suffering from PMS pain. Additionally, I've found it effective for minor cuts due to its healing properties. My health is improving!

Quercetin reduces arthritis inflammation
Quercetin, a Compound of the Total Flavonoids of Schltr., Ameliorates Rheumatoid Arthritis by Targeting TNF-α.
Most Relevant Research
In our exploration of how certain natural compounds can impact rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we focused on the total flavonoids derived from Schltr., specifically identifying the effects of quercetin. Our research employed various methods, including cellular and animal models, to examine how these compounds inhibit TNF-α, a key player in inflammation and joint deterioration.

We discovered that quercetin stands out among several compounds, demonstrating a strong ability to reduce TNF-α activity. This reduction corresponds with decreased cellular injury and apoptosis in our models, showcasing quercetin's potential as a protective agent against RA symptoms. Through advanced techniques such as molecular docking and thermal profiling, we verified that quercetin binds to TNF-α, eventually diminishing the inflammatory processes related to arthritis.

The findings suggest that quercetin plays a significant role in suppressing the TNF-α/NF-κB signaling pathway, which is crucial in the development of RA. By blocking certain inflammatory responses, quercetin appears to mitigate pain and joint damage, positioning it as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment. Overall, our investigation highlights quercetin's promising properties as a natural anti-inflammatory agent for those suffering from arthritis.

Protein treatment for gout management
Albumin Corona-Coated Nanoscale Metal-Organic Framework for Enzyme-Mediated Cascade Metabolization of Uric Acid in Hyperuricemia.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effectiveness of a novel treatment approach aimed at managing gout by focusing on protein treatments, specifically a form of uricase. This research highlights the development of an albumin corona-coated enzyme-loaded framework designed to sustainably control high uric acid levels without creating harmful byproducts.

What sets this method apart is its ability to protect the uricase enzymes while also minimizing the immune responses that typically accompany their use. In our analysis, we observed that this innovative combination drastically reduced the capture of uricase by immune cells, which can often trigger inflammation and other complications.

Animal studies demonstrated that this albumin-coated framework successfully lowered uric acid levels across different models of hyperuricemia. Importantly, it also extended the lifespan of the uricase in circulation, which may enhance its effectiveness over time. Moreover, we noted a significant drop in the production of antibodies that commonly arise from uricase treatments, indicating a potentially safer profile for this therapy.

Overall, our findings suggest that this albumin-coated nanoscale framework could represent a promising new direction for gout treatment, providing a safer alternative to traditional therapies that often lead to unwanted inflammatory responses.

No significant benefit of vitamin E
Vitamin E does not reduce the side-effects of isotretinoin in the treatment of acne vulgaris.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effectiveness of vitamin E alongside isotretinoin, a common treatment for severe acne. In an investigator-blinded, randomized study involving 82 patients, participants were divided into two groups. One group received isotretinoin alone, while the other combined it with 800 IU of vitamin E, over a period of 16 weeks.

Our main goal was to determine whether vitamin E could reduce the side-effects associated with isotretinoin, which are often bothersome for patients. Throughout the study, we assessed various mucocutaneous side effects, such as facial dryness and redness, as well as changes in serum lipid and liver enzyme levels.

Ultimately, we found no significant difference in the incidence or severity of side effects between the two treatment groups. This indicates that vitamin E did not provide any noticeable benefit when added to isotretinoin therapy for acne vulgaris.

While vitamin E is often suggested as a remedy to lighten the side effects of medications, our findings suggest that its use alongside isotretinoin may not be helpful.

Faded acne scars
Most Useful Review
Great buy for my skin as I have certain scars I'm trying to diminish, and within the first week, I noticed the acne scars on my face starting to fade. It has helped with leg scars too, though less noticeably.
