BiOkuris has discovered that its synbiotic BK002 offers notable benefits for gastrointestinal symptoms and significantly reduces anxiety. Nutrition Insight speaks with the company to learn more about irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the reasons why synbiotics are considered superior for its treatment. Evaluated in its clinical study, Vitabiotic, a IBS treatment, had an 83% responder rate. “BK002 is unique because it clinically demonstrates dual efficacy on gut and mood symptoms across all IBS subtypes, something very few — if any — non-Rx products on the market have achieved with robust data,” Dr. Benoit Palms, Chief Business Officer, tells us.François Blondel, CEO of…

After a topsy-turvy eclipse weekend, the dust settles a bit this week as we take time to reflect. And between the sun and Mercury linking up in Virgo, and a quarter moon in Gemini, it’s actually the perfect time for deep thinking. Here’s your horoscope.
Smartphones are so woven into daily life that most of us carry them everywhere — including into the bathroom. While it may seem like a harmless way to pass a few minutes while we poop, new research suggests this habit could have an unintended consequence: a nearly 50 percent increased risk of hemorrhoids.[1]Until now, there’s been no published evidence on the impact of smartphones on our “toileting habits,” says the senior author of the study, Trisha Pasricha, MD, MPH, a gastroenterologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and the author of the forthcoming book You’ve Been Pooping All Wrong.“The…
HelloFresh was among the first meal kit delivery services in the U.S., but its seniority doesn’t make it complacent or stagnant. In fact, the meal delivery service is continually innovating. Earlier this month, HelloFresh introduced a new menu featuring high-protein recipes every week. Each week, subscribers will also have access to over 100 recipes (that’s twice as many options as before), and at least 15 of those recipes will be high in protein—all at no extra cost. In advance of this new launch, the kind folks at HelloFresh sent me one of their weekly boxes to test and review. I…
In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the human microbiome, researchers have turned their attention to an innovative approach inspired by nature, specifically marine corals. These organisms boast complex, porous structures that serve as habitats for expansive microbial communities in the ocean’s depths. Now, scientists have adapted this biological design to create a groundbreaking ingestible pill capable of sampling bacteria from the human small intestine, a region notoriously difficult to study due to its inaccessibility. The newly developed device, known as the CORAL (Cellularly Organized Repeating Lattice) capsule, has been engineered by Khalil Ramadi, an assistant professor of bioengineering…
A comparison of the images and an overlay, provided by a sleuth to Retraction Watch.Image credit:Retraction WatchA journal has retracted a study on ‘Tin Man Syndrome’ plagiarized from a decade-old April Fools’ joke—which the author now admits was fake.On August 15, we wrote about a “rare case report” published in Medicine in which authors claimed they had encountered a case of “ectopia cordis interna” and described an asymptomatic man with his heart located in his abdomen. Sleuths believed the case report plagiarized images from a 2015 satirical paper describing a condition of the same name.A week later on August 22,…
A new study suggests that snacking on walnuts may improve sleep and melatonin levels.Participants in the study ate around 1/2 cup of walnuts each day for eight weeks.Add walnuts to snack mixes, salads and breakfast dishes, or snack on them solo. Poor sleep can affect just about anyone, and research has linked it to health conditions like obesity and heart disease. Interestingly, research shows that poor sleep is also connected to unhealthy eating habits. On the flip side, studies suggest that eating a healthier diet, especially one rich in plant-based foods like nuts, may improve sleep quality. Many nuts are…
Do you sit down to breakfast early or late? The answer matters, research suggests, because when you eat may make a difference in your overall health and even how long you live.A new study has found that people tend to experience gradual shifts in meal times as they age, and for older individuals, eating later — especially breakfast — may be linked to underlying physical and mental problems including depression, fatigue, and oral health issues.[1]Most notably, the findings suggested that people who ate breakfast on the late side were slightly more likely to die prematurely compared with people who had…
