Written by Taylor Woosley, Science Writer. Findings of a meta-analysis of 14 RCTs including 76,664 subjects and 2720 cases of stroke shows that supplementation of ≤0.8 mg/d folic acid combined with ≤0.4 mg/d vitamin B12 and ≤10 mg/d vitamin B6 resulted in a 39% reduced risk of stroke. (more…)
Written by Taylor Woosley, Science Writer. 12-week intervention of 50,000 IU vitamin D every 2 weeks plus 8 x 109 CFU/day probiotic significantly reduced total testosterone (p<0.001), hirsutism (p<0.001), hs-CRP (p<0.001) and MDA levels (p=0.001) and significantly increased TAC (p<0.001) and GSH levels (p=0.02) compared to placebo.
