Multidisciplinary Integrative Medicine Approach for Cancer Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

mycolabadmin

This study shows that when cancer patients use complementary treatments like mushroom supplements, vitamins, and probiotics alongside their cancer medications under doctor supervision, they experience fewer side effects and better quality of life. Almost 93% of patients had no side effects from these supplements, and many reported less fatigue and better overall wellness. The key finding is that patients should work with their medical team rather than self-prescribing these treatments to avoid dangerous interactions.

(Poly)phenol-gut microbiota interactions and their impact on human health

Plant-based foods rich in polyphenols like berries, tea, and cocoa offer significant health benefits through interactions with gut bacteria. These bacteria break down polyphenols into active compounds that can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. However, people respond differently to these foods based on their unique gut bacteria composition, suggesting the future of nutrition will be personalized based on individual microbial profiles.

Nanoencapsulation of Biotics: Feasibility to Enhance Stability and Delivery for Improved Gut Health

This review explores how tiny nanoparticles can protect beneficial bacteria and dietary compounds as they travel through the digestive system. These nanotechnologies help probiotics survive stomach acid and reach the intestines where they provide health benefits. The research shows promising results for treating digestive diseases and improving overall gut health through better delivery of microbiota-modulating substances.

In vitro compatibility screening of Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus altitudinis strains with selected candidate prebiotics for in ovo application of synergistic synbiotics

Researchers tested different beneficial bacteria (Bacillus strains) and food additives (prebiotics) to create improved formulations for chicken embryos. They found that certain plant-based additives, especially protein hydrolysate, worked particularly well with specific bacterial strains. When they tested the best combination in developing chicken eggs, it was completely safe and didn’t affect hatching rates, suggesting this approach could be used to give chicks a healthier start in life.

Novel Synbiotic Yogurt Formulation Supplemented with Fucoidan from Phaeophyceae Algae to Promote Limosilactobacillus reuteri and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG

Researchers developed a new yogurt containing fucoidan (a compound from brown seaweed) along with beneficial bacteria that may help reduce allergy symptoms. Testing showed this special yogurt maintained high levels of protective bacteria throughout its shelf life. The combination of the seaweed compound and beneficial bacteria could offer a natural food-based approach to help people with allergies through improved gut health.

The Role of Plant Extracts in Enhancing Nutrition and Health for Dogs and Cats: Safety, Benefits, and Applications

mycolabadmin

This review examines how plant-based supplements like tea extracts, curcumin, and quercetin can improve the health of pet dogs and cats. These natural compounds act as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, supporting gut health, immune function, and overall wellness in companion animals. While generally safe when properly dosed, cats and dogs metabolize these compounds differently, requiring species-specific dosing strategies to maximize benefits and minimize risks.

Beta-Glucans from Fungi: Biological and Health-Promoting Potential in the COVID-19 Pandemic Era

mycolabadmin

This article reviews how beta-glucans, natural compounds found in mushrooms, can boost your immune system and help fight diseases including COVID-19. These compounds work by activating immune cells and reducing dangerous inflammatory responses in the body. Mushroom beta-glucans are safe, easy to take by mouth, and available in many edible mushroom varieties like shiitake and oyster mushrooms.

Edible Mushrooms and Beta-Glucans: Impact on Human Health

mycolabadmin

Mushrooms contain compounds called β-glucans that can help boost your immune system and reduce inflammation. These compounds show promise in cancer treatment when combined with conventional therapies and may help fight infections. While mushrooms have long been used in traditional medicine, modern research is confirming their health benefits and understanding how they work in the body.
