Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent disease affecting as high as 25-30% of the general worldwide population. It encompasses a spectrum of liver diseases and results in increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Flaxseeds, a rich source of omega-3 essential fatty acids, have been researched for their potential ability to reduce inflammatory levels. Learn about the effects of 12-week flaxseed powder supplementation on liver function and lipid profiles in obese adults with NAFLD at the link below.

Migraines are a common neurological disorder affecting around 15% of people worldwide. Research suggests that migraine occurrence may stem from impaired mitochondrial energy metabolism, reduced oxygen delivery to tissues, and other potential factors. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a bioactive molecule that plays a crucial role in mitochondrial energy metabolism and acts as a potent antioxidant that is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. Learn about the potential benefit of ALA supplementation for episodic migraines at the link below.

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent antioxidant that combats oxidative stress, a significant factor in the onset and progression of diabetes. ALA aids in reducing inflammation, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and improving glucose metabolism. Beyond diabetes management, ALA has shown potential in alleviating diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a common diabetes complication affecting the nerves, causing pain, numbness, and tingling sensations. ALA’s antioxidant properties help protect nerve cells from damage and reduce inflammation, which may alleviate symptoms and improve nerve function.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus, with around 13 million Americans becoming infected with HPV annually. Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC) is a standardized extract of cultured Lentinula edodes mycelia (shiitake) that has been previously researched for its robust immune supporting properties, particularly for its ability to increase natural killer cells. Learn about AHCC supplementation’s effect on HPV clearance at the link below.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 35.5 million Americans. Because there are little to no signs of the condition, most people are not even aware that they have CKD until it reaches the later stages.

It’s important to understand if you are at risk for CKD so you can get screened and take action to slow the progression of this disease. Learn more about the steps you can take to protect kidney health in this month’s NHR newsletter.

Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional bowel disorder that affects approximately 11% of the global population. Common symptoms include recurrent abdominal pain, along with alterations in bowel habits, accompanied by abdominal bloating. Research focused on short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing probiotics has shown promise in IBS-related symptom improvement, potentially through the protective and anti-inflammatory effects of SCFAs. Learn more about the use of SCFA-producing probiotics on IBS symptoms at the link below.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant global health burden, affecting around 10% of the world’s population. Many with CKD will go on to require renal replacement therapy, such as dialysis. Hemodialysis, the most common form of dialysis, can lead to malnutrition and skin abnormalities such as xerosis and pruritus. Zinc is an essential dietary trace element that pays a key role in immune regulation. Learn about the use of zinc gluconate supplementation for CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis at the link below.
