Iron and the Female Athlete: Why Exercise Suppresses Iron Absorption, and What to Do About It
She does everything right: takes her iron supplement daily, eats her meat and spinach, sleeps enough, and gets bloodwork done when her doctor asks. But six months later, her ferritin has barely moved, she still fades at mile eight of every long run, and her coach is suggesting she double her dose.

PLT Health Solutions Launches the Longevity Research Initiative Around Its Experiential Longevity Platform
The longevity category has a communication problem. Most longevity products ask consumers to take a leap of faith: invest in your cellular health today, and benefits may arrive years from now. For early adopters and biohackers, that pitch works. For the much larger group of adults in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who want to […]

DL185® for Sarcopenia and Anti-Aging: Muscles Need a Faster Leucine Signal
Sarcopenia is often described as muscle loss, but that framing understates the real problem. What aging adults lose isn't just mirror-muscle. After 50, strength declines two to three times faster than mass,[1] which means the things that actually matter go first: rising from a chair, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, catching yourself before a fall.

India's Ashwagandha Leaf Advisory: What FSSAI Actually Said and Why the Industry Is Pushing Back
Two documents, issued one day apart by two different Indian government agencies, have touched off a global debate about what ashwagandha is, which part of the plant belongs in your supplement, and whether the trade press' characterization of a regulatory action reflects what those documents actually say.
