Research, insights, and practical advice for healthy aging through nutrition.

Across 116 adults randomised to a 16:8 window or three meals a day, the 12-week difference in weight was 0.26 kg. The interesting result is not the scale. It is what the DXA scans showed.

A trial of 20 people per arm has about a 16% chance of detecting a real, modest effect. It has a much better chance of producing a headline. Here is what sample size does to a result, and the four checks that tell you whether a study is worth your attention.
September 8, 2026
A meta-analysis of 13 trials in 1,126 people found CoQ10 cut fatigue scores by about a third of a standard deviation. The pooled NMN evidence on physical performance is smaller, shorter and flatter. Here is what each one has actually shown.
September 7, 2026
Across 233,455 adults, apoB carried 43% more cardiovascular risk per standard deviation. LDL-C carried 25%. Where the two numbers disagree, who they mislead, and how to get apoB measured in the UK.
September 6, 2026
Eighty-nine per cent of 57 sports supplements did not contain what their labels declared. UK law already asks a lot of a supplement seller. Here is what compliance looks like from the outside, and the checks that separate a real operation from a drop-shipper.
September 5, 2026
Seventy per cent of an oral dose is absorbed, and almost none of it survives the first pass. Piperine is the standard answer. Here is what the trials actually measured.
September 4, 2026
Across 1,894 commercial fish oils, mean mercury came in at 0.0005 mg/kg — one two-hundredth of the legal ceiling. The quality problem in this category is real, but it is not the metals.
September 3, 2026
The authorised claim sits at 250 mg a day. The trials that moved muscle, triglycerides or blood levels used four to fourteen times that. Your body weight, the chemical form and the meal you take it with all change the number.
September 2, 2026
The largest randomised trial on this question gave 18,353 adults omega-3 for five years and came back flat. The small signal that does exist belongs to EPA, at a dose most capsules never reach.
September 1, 2026
The biggest trial ever run in adults over 50 gave 840 mg a day for five years and missed its primary endpoint. The useful effects sit elsewhere — and at higher doses than most labels carry.
August 30, 2026
Take 250 mg of NMN after 6pm for twelve weeks and your sleep score falls 1.5 points. Take a placebo after 6pm and it falls 1.6. That is the whole timing literature, and it is worth reading properly.
August 29, 2026
Both molecules end up as the same thing inside the cell. The argument is about how they get in, and whether any of it reaches the tissue you care about. Here is what the human data shows.
August 28, 2026
One six-week trial in 48 amateur runners raised power at the ventilatory thresholds and left VO2 max untouched. Meanwhile, twelve weeks of training raised the NAD+ salvage enzyme by 28% on its own. Here is how a rider should read that.
August 27, 2026
Shift ten adults twelve hours out of phase and their insulin rises 22%. The mouse work says the body clock builds NAD+ on a schedule. The human evidence is thinner, and more useful, than either side admits.
August 26, 2026
A p-value of 0.04 does not mean a 96% chance the supplement works. It answers a narrower question than almost anyone selling you something wants to admit. Here is what the number measures, what it hides, and the six questions worth asking instead.
August 25, 2026
The average tolerable NAD+ infusion ran three hours and three minutes. Saline took 85. Here is what the drip delivers, what a capsule delivers, and why neither has cleared the outcome bar yet.
August 24, 2026
A three-fold higher CRP came with 37% more coronary events across 160,309 adults. Then the genetics arrived and complicated it. What the marker is worth, how noisy it is, and what actually shifts it.
August 22, 2026
The statute gives the risk assessor nine months. Across 292 dossiers, the average run from submission to published opinion was 935 days. Here is what the GB novel foods process does, and where NMN and algal DHA sit inside it.
August 21, 2026
Only seven of 20 resveratrol supplements named the isomer on the label. That word covers two molecules with different stability, different absorption and, on recent evidence, opposite effects on one repair pathway.
August 20, 2026
Vegan DHA does not come from seaweed or a pond. It is fermented in the dark, in stainless steel, on sugar. Here is the chain from seed flask to softgel, and the three numbers that tell you whether a given bottle was made well.
August 18, 2026
Nine trials have given people pure EPA or pure DHA and compared them directly. DHA wins on blood pressure and triglycerides, loses on LDL, and EPA holds the only large outcome trial. The gap matters more than the label suggests.
August 17, 2026
Two trials in over 5,000 adults found no cognitive effect at all. Three smaller ones found a memory benefit. The difference is not dose — it is who was enrolled, and that changes what the evidence is worth to you.
August 8, 2026
The number most likely to turn up on your next blood panel. What it measures, where the UK lines are drawn, the four things that make it lie, and what the supplement trials actually found.
