Formulating for Generation and Gender
No two individuals are exactly alike, but at certain stages, we tend to share common health concerns, characteristics and traits. Of course “one size does not fit all,” which is why years ago, multivitamins branched out from just being formulated for “adults” and for “children.” Formulating for generation and gender makes simple sense. But there ...
Cigarette Smoking Damages Vision
Although it may seem like a no-brainer, new research validates that smoking more than 20 cigarettes (a pack) a day can damage vision. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 34.3 million adults in the United States currently smoke cigarettes and that more than 16 million live with a smoking-related disease, many ...
Are You Seeing It?
The vision support category has morphed tremendously during the past decade due to a newer condition that has affected people of all ages. Here’s how to make the most of this category with your vision-support formula. Only 20 years ago, the idea of a teenager dealing with the same eye issue as his/her grandparents would ...
Foot Joint Seen for the First Time
The bones of the foot need to be extremely flexible allowing the foot to point, twist and flex; and in other positions also need to be absolutely rigid, such as pushing off or jumping to protect the ankle from being sprained, or worse, broken. The key to this ability is the subtalar joint, below the ...
Supporting Mobility for Active Adults
Joints, bones and muscles are no longer isolated in the minds of active adults—it’s all in the movement. Here’s how to formulate for this expanding population. What was your most recent movement before you began reading this? If it was something as simple as crossing your legs and you needed to stop and think for ...
Research Shows Dopamine and Biological Clock Connected to Excess Snacking
In the four years from 1976 through 1980, 15 percent of American adults were obese. In 2020, another 35 percent joined the fray—about 40 percent of adults are now obese. Obesity’s rise is correlated with increases in heart disease, diabetes and other complications (eg joint degradation and hypertension) related to obesity. The demand for more ...
One Size Does Not Fit All
Weight loss is getting customized with popular diets and supplements that help those diets work. “I’m doing keto!” “I’m on paleo.” “Intermittent fasting is actually easy and I lost weight!” These comments are often shared with enthusiasm. Seemingly unlike diets of the past, keto, intermittent fasting and paleo are much more of a lifestyle than ...
EFA’s Turning Tide
Consumer awareness is demanding the EFA supplement market make positive changes. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) have swum far and swiftly upstream since the days of “fish burp” fish oils in huge soft gels. If people couldn’t stomach fish (as many people don’t like eating it), they were unlikely to obtain the health benefits of EPA ...

How can a consumer product brand not want to jump in? There are many statistics out there showing vibrant growth year after year. According to the Council for ...
New Gene Responsible for Average Sleep Duration Found
The genetics of circadian rhythms have been well studied yet less is known about other types of genes that regulate how much sleep our bodies require.
