Atopic dermatitis, otherwise known as eczema, isn’t an easily treatable condition. This systematic review looked at whether vitamin D supplementation may help reduce the symptoms of atopic dermatitis

We’ve previously covered peanut introduction in infants, and next up is gluten introduction. These researchers analyzed the changing literature looking at celiac disease risk when gluten is introduced at different times.

Probiotic ads tout the number of live bacteria they contain, typically numbering in the billions. But our guts already contain trillions of bacteria. Do probiotics actually change the makeup of our microbiomes?

Calories are the most important weight loss factor, but not the only one. It turns out that the type of fats you eat may impact your appetite, and this trial tested two fats (CLA and MCT) for that purpose.

We know that the gut microbiome can play a major role in a variety of conditions, but the specifics are still being teased out. This study tested the effect of one particular strain called Pediococcus pentosaceus LP28, in a heatkilled formulation.

If you join together the amino acids l-histadine and beta-alanine, you get the dipeptide called carnosine. Carnosine may have a variety of benefits, and this trial tested carnosine’s specific effect on insulin dynamics.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a life-changing condition without many effective treatments. Could daily supplementation with coenzyme Q10 be a simple way to improve symptoms?

There isn’t nearly as much research on potential benefits of omega-6 fatty acids as there is on omega-3s. This study looked at the effect of the omega-6 known as arachidonic acid on resistance exercise
