When it comes to skin health, most conversations focus on what you apply on the skin.

But modern research is increasingly exploring how internal inflammation, immune balance, and nutrient transport influence skin comfort, redness and reactivity.

In other words, look at gut health for skin health.

One compound gaining attention in this space is fulvic acid.

Human clinical research shows fulvic acid is safe, bioavailable, and may support inflammatory balance linked to skin health. Learn what the science says.

Study Links Moringa & Gut Barrier Support

If you’re familiar with moringa (Moringa oleifera), you’re most likely know it's referred to as a superfood, daily green or antioxidant.

But now a new paper in MicrobiologyOpen adds a more:

Moringa may support gut health partly through what your gut microbes do with it; especially fermentation that increases measurable polyphenols and improves a lab marker linked to gut barrier integrity.

New research suggests moringa may support gut health - boosting measurable polyphenols after fermentation and improving a gut barrier marker (TEER).

Creatine for Brain Health

Creatine is best known as a sports supplement.

For decades, 5 grams per day has been the standard recommendation to improve muscle strength, power, and performance.

But the brain is not muscle.

Emerging research suggests that while 5 g/day may be sufficient to saturate skeletal muscle, it may be too low to meaningfully support brain bioenergetics, particularly during periods of metabolic stress such as sleep deprivation, depression, aging, or brain injury.

A 2025 mini-review published in the Journal of Psychiatry & Brain Science proposes a clear shift in how we think about creatine:

Brain health may require higher and/or longer dosing strategies than physical performance.

Research suggests standard creatine doses may be too low for brain energy. Learn how higher dosing may support cognition, aging, sleep loss and mental health.

Shilajit has become one of the most searched mineral supplements online, often associated with energy, vitality, longevity, and “ancient wisdom.”

It’s frequently promoted as a natural way to support fatigue, performance, and overall resilience.

That interest isn’t irrational. But it does raise an important question that’s often skipped in marketing:

What part of shilajit actually drives its effects - and is shilajit the only way to get them?

This article looks at what shilajit is, why people take it, where the evidence sits and why many practitioners now consider fulvic and humic mineral complexes a more consistent and lower-risk alternative...

Most people think “longevity” is about what you do: exercise, diet, sleep, stress.

True - but there’s another layer.

Inside your gut are trillions of microbes that behave like a living organ.

They don’t just “help digestion.”

They manufacture compounds (called metabolites) that can influence inflammation, metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and how you age.

A fascinating 2025 study adds a new piece to this puzzle: researchers found they could nudge gut bacteria to produce more of a longevity-linked compound - and it improved markers of metabolic health in aging mice.

What’s In and Out for Supplements in 2026?

1) Periodisation of Supplements

Just like we don’t train the same way all year round, we should also adjust our supplement regime depending on a few factors.

Take Creatine, for example.

Your base rate might be 5g per day (focusing on the physical gains) or you might be at 10g (focusing more on the cognitive benefits).

What’s in and what’s out in modern supplement use: smarter dosing, collagen re-evaluated, gut health prioritised, and fewer one-size-fits-all fixes.

What Is Oxidative Stress? Antioxidants, Exercise & Moringa Explained

You may have heard the term oxidative stress used in conversations about aging, inflammation, fatigue, or chronic disease.

While it often sounds complex, the idea itself is surprisingly simple - and it connects closely to both what we eat and how we move.

This article explains:

what oxidants and oxidative stress are
how they affect your body
where oxidants come from
what antioxidants do
where antioxidants are found
and how foods, regular movement and training, may support your health

How to Choose a Joint Supplement

If you’re looking at joint supplements for early knee pain or stiffness, here’s something useful to know:

A large double-blind clinical trial tested three options over 3 months:

- Glucosamine + chondroitin
- Glucosamine + chondroitin with MSM
- Placebo

READ MORE:

Don’t judge a joint supplement by “glucosamine + chondroitin” alone. Look for formulas that include MSM - it appears to be a key ingredient
