Nutritional strategies in supporting immune checkpoint inhibitor, PI3K inhibitor, and tyrosine kinase inhibitor cancer therapies

mycolabadmin

This review examines how nutrition and food-based interventions can improve cancer treatment outcomes for patients receiving targeted cancer therapies. A Mediterranean-style diet with plenty of fiber (30-50g daily) appears beneficial for patients on immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies by promoting healthy gut bacteria that support immune function. The review also discusses promising research on fermented foods, specific bacterial supplements, mushroom extracts, and fasting approaches as complementary strategies to enhance cancer treatment effectiveness while reducing side effects.

Emerging Nonthermal Technologies for the Production of Postbiotics

mycolabadmin

Postbiotics are dead or inactivated beneficial microorganisms and their components that support human health without needing to survive in the gut. Traditional heat-killing methods damage these beneficial compounds. This comprehensive review explores six emerging technologies that can produce postbiotics while better preserving their health-promoting properties, making them more stable and effective for food and supplement applications.

Anti-Inflammation and Anti-Melanogenic Effects of Maca Root Extracts Fermented Using Lactobacillus Strains

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied maca root, an Andes plant traditionally used for health benefits, by fermenting it with beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus strains). They tested whether fermented maca could reduce skin inflammation and prevent excessive skin darkening. The fermented version worked significantly better than regular maca at both reducing inflammation markers and inhibiting melanin production in skin cells, suggesting it could be a valuable ingredient in cosmetic products designed to brighten skin and reduce irritation.
