Our Take: New Cholesterol Guidelines

DID YOU KNOW that according to a Cochrane Reviews, daily aspirin does not reliably prevent bowel cancer in people at average risk?

Any potential protective effect may take more than a decade to appear, if it appears at all, and the evidence for that benefit is weak. In contrast, the risk of serious bleeding begins right away, even with low-dose aspirin. Experts warn that prevention decisions should be individualized, not automatic.

DID YOU KNOW that a study from Frontiers in Nutrition found Lactobacillus Acidophilus (L. Acidophilus) significantly enhanced intestinal peristalsis, thus helping those with slow transit constipation (STC)?

STC is a chronic disease characterized by delayed intestinal transit and weakened spontaneous contractions of colonic smooth muscle. Specifically, they found L. Acidophilus promoted the same areas where gut serotonin is produced.

Of course L. Acidophilus is not a panacea, but certainly can be used as part of a combination therapy so you don't have to rely on laxatives. As we have seen time and again, once you are on laxatives long-term, your ability to perform peristalsis wanes and sometimes never comes back.

Our favorite probiotic strain is in our NCI Well Supplements L. Acidophilus.

DID YOU KNOW that the phytochemical urolithin A (UA), which we have touted for several years now, is consistently providing exquisite data for myriad regenerative capabilities because of its amazing effect on reviving mitochondria? The benefits of UA appeal to all age groups, from less active individuals to elite athletes.

Participants in a Nature Aging study were given either UA supplements or a placebo for 28 days. UA safely boosted T lymphocytes, which are important for fighting pathogens, PGC-1α, a protein that acts as the master controller where cells generate new mitochondria, and lowered oxidative stress in cells.

A study from Nutrients states that UA is a potential dual-purpose phytochemical that may positively interfere with the shared pathogenic pathways linking colorectal cancer and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

A study from Nutrition Reviews found UA improves lipid profiles, reduces fat weight, and optimizes metabolic marker abnormalities or pre-obesity, highlighting its therapeutic potential for managing metabolic syndrome.

Six weeks of UA supplementation during preseason improved aerobic endurance and jump performance in elite academy soccer players, according to a study from Frontiers in Nutrition.
