Supplements for Body Health

Carotenoid pigments that accumulate in the eye, providing protection against blue light and age-related vision decline.

Live microorganisms where strain selection determines outcome — Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains best studied for gut, immune, and mood.

Gel-forming soluble fiber that lowers LDL cholesterol, regulates blood sugar, and promotes digestive regularity.

Provides building blocks for cartilage maintenance — sulfate form shows consistent benefits for joint pain with long-term use.

Turmeric's active compound that modulates NF-kB inflammatory pathways — supports mood, joint health, and post-exercise recovery.

Holds 1,000x its weight in water. Most strong evidence is for injectable/intra-articular HA in knee osteoarthritis; oral supplementation shows small, inconsistent benefits for skin and joints.

An 8-strain blend dosed in the hundreds of billions to trillions of CFU per day — roughly 45 to 7,000 times a typical 1-10 billion CFU consumer probiotic — with the largest effect size in the probiotic literature for one narrow use: maintaining remission in chronic pouchitis after ulcerative colitis surgery. It is null for IBS and Crohn's — and since 2016 the brand name no longer reliably identifies the formulation that was studied.

A soothing succulent gel best evidenced for topical wound/burn healing, with some support for reflux and digestive comfort; oral systemic claims are weaker.
