Clinical trial participants who supplemented with 2.5 grams bovine-derived bioactive collagen peptides experienced reduced wrinkles and improved skin elasticity and hydration<\/a> as compared to those taking the placebo. Verisol also has benefits for hair<\/a> and nails<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cElectrolytes support hydration in the moment, while collagen works over time to improve skin quality from within,\u201d said Jay Hunter, CEO of k2o by Sprinter. \u201cTogether, they create a more complete solution that fits naturally into a daily ritual rather than requiring multiple products.\u201d<\/p>\n This fits into a growing trend of bundling two or more need states into one product, as another product launch featured in Supplement Shorts<\/a> used collagen ingredients to support cognitive and joint health along with beauty from within. Hunter noted that many brands focus on hydration or beauty, but not the combination.<\/p>\n \u201cWe started where we saw the strongest consumer demand, which is at the intersection of hydration and beauty,\u201d Hunter said.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s already strong awareness around hydration powders, and growing interest in ingestible beauty. Bringing those together in a format that\u2019s easy to use felt like the right entry point for the brand.\u201d<\/p>\n Clinical currents and science news<\/p>\n Prebiotics can influence immune health not just in the gut but in the upper respiratory tract. A clinical trial evaluating the impact of a prebiotic carrot pomace fiber<\/a> (marketed as Benicaros by NutriLeads) demonstrated the ingredient\u2019s ability to influence genes responsible for repair of nasal epithelial cells.<\/p>\n \u201cThis study helps us better understand how Benicaros works at the cellular level,\u201d said Sue McKay, Ph.D., nutrition and health manager at NutriLeads.<\/p>\n \u201cBy supporting both the body\u2019s initial response to viral exposure and the recovery of the airway barrier, Benicaros helps maintain the integrity of one of the body\u2019s key lines of defense.\u201d<\/p>\n BeniCaros also recently won the A\u00e7a\u00ed de Ouro Prize for the \u201cIsolated Functional & Healthy Ingredient\u201d category at the Nutri Ingredients Summit in Brazil.<\/p>\n Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) isn\u2019t just for humans. A study published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science<\/a> showed that supplementation with Levagen+, a branded PEA ingredient marketed by Saanroo, decreases joint pain for both canines and felines.<\/p>\n \u201cThis first published companion animal study of Levagen+ is an important milestone for the brand,\u201d said John Quilter, Saanroo CEO.<\/p>\n \u201cIt shows that the science behind Levagen+ has relevance beyond human health and opens the door to new opportunities in companion animal wellness,\u201d Quilter said.<\/p>\n Ingredient supplier OmniActive published a new clinical trial on CapsiMax<\/a> showing benefits for exercise performance. Participants who supplemented with 100 mg of Capsicum annuum extract experienced improvements in strength and endurance along with an increase in circulating glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels.<\/p>\n While resveratrol is popular for beauty from within and longevity formulations, a new review in Nutrition Journal<\/a> cites the benefits of the antioxidant for weight management. The umbrella review and meta-analysis evaluated 45 systematic reviews and concluded that \u201chigh certainty of evidence suggested that resveratrol supplementation could decline waist circumference, lower blood pressure among patients with type 2 diabetes and reduce total cholesterol among overweight adults.\u201d<\/p>\n Related:Powering up with peptides, creatine and protein at Arnold Sports Festival<\/a><\/p>\n Designs for Health\u2019s new probiotic supplement contains five probiotic strains to support the gut microbiome.

Ingredients in the various formulations include shatavari (marketed as SRI-81 by Ixoreal Biomed), chaste tree berry, ginger and cranberry extracts.<\/p>\n “Each formulation in this collection has been meticulously curated to support women through every defining stage of their lifecycle and is guided by thought and a science-driven approach to wellness,” said Jennifer Toomey, head of new product development for TopGum USA.<\/p>\n Retailer GNC<\/a> announced the launch of two new supplements<\/a> focused on cellular health, tapping into current trends in NAD+ ingredients.
