ACI now acts as “commercial gateway” for Dolcas by distributing the marine collagen tripeptide in the UK, supplying samples, clinical data and formulation support to food, beverage and supplement brands and co-packers.As Sam Lubbock-Smith, business development manager at ACI Group, told NutraIngredients, the company expects specific consumer segments to drive demand for Morikol in the UK.“We are targeting three priority segments, particularly around products where low-dose, science-driven actives have been shown to perform particularly well,” Lubbock-Smith said. He explained that Morikol is well-positioned for consumers seeking measurable wrinkle reduction, hydration and elasticity improvements but who prefer low-volume formats such as…

A new observational study suggests that consuming fruits may reduce the harmful effects of air pollution on lung function. Women who consumed four or more portions of fruit daily showed less decline in lung function than those who consumed less. Researchers suggest that fruit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may play a role in this protective effect. This finding does not mean consumers should be held accountable for their lung health, advises a professor not involved in the study, who urges that governments should continue targeting pollution reduction.“Over 90% of the global population is exposed to air pollution levels that exceed…

In mice, researchers found that the organelles spit out strands of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that contained an excess of a certain type of molecular building block that can harm DNA. This genetic fly-tipping might protect the…

Ina Garten has shared many tips for perfect roasted vegetables in her recipes.These include cutting vegetables into larger pieces and not overcrowding the pan.Add extra flavoring with cheese, herbs and pan seasonings. Roasting vegetables is one of the easiest ways to enjoy seasonal produce, and including the right herbs and spices will make them extra flavorful.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t see the letter on the chart. It was the first time he had ever seen a letter. His world, until then, had been known through touch and sound. Letters were understood by the ridges of…

Fatty fish, lean protein, soluble fiber and softened foods may support gut health in people with ulcerative colitis.Ulcerative colitis requires a personalized approach—there’s no one-size-fits-all diet.For the best care, work closely with a registered dietitian and gastroenterologist. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that can cause inflammation, ulcers and damage in the large intestine. Although diet is only one piece of the puzzle, choosing the right foods may help manage your symptoms. Like many other digestive disorders, which foods feel good or trigger discomfort is highly individual. For this reason, meeting with a registered dietitian can be especially…

Biograph partners with Caristo Diagnostics to bring CaRi-Heart to the US and open preventive pathways in cardiology. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading global cause of death, and much of today’s prevention still waits for plaque to appear before action is taken. Caristo Diagnostics’ CaRi-Heart technology, already in use across Europe, detects inflammation around the coronary arteries from cardiac CT scans – a shift from plaque-first to inflammation-first models that promises earlier and more precise risk stratification. Now Biograph, a preventive health and diagnostics clinic in the US, is partnering with Caristo to run the first US study of the technology…
