Hooked on Omega-3 fish oil
Fish oil is sourced from the tissues of oily cold-water fish and it contains important omega-3 fatty acids that are vital for our health. The main omega 3 fatty acids in fish oil are called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Effects of Vitamin D on Gut Microbiota Composition
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and is expressed in the gastrointestinal tract, where it carries out gene expression. Recent evidence has demonstrated that vitamin D can modify the composition of the gut microbiota by down regulating inflammation, up-regulating innate immunity and improving intestinal barrier function

What factors determine a vaccine’s efficacy for an individual?
A growing body of evidence suggests the composition of the gut microbiota and its influence on the development and function of the immune system may play an important role in determining vaccine efficacy. A variety of environmental and dietary factors can affect intestinal microbial imbalance, which has a close affiliation with human health and disease.

Protecting Gut Bacteria from Antibiotics
The human body encompasses an abundance of commensal bacteria and a microbiome that can progress beneficial effects for the host, contributing to the body’s natural processes. Alternatively, a disruption to the intestinal microbiome can alter this homeostatic process and inflict progress adverse effects against the host.

Medlab Research Update: Probiotic and Magnesium Orotate as Adjunctive to SSRIs
Medlab’s Phase II clinical study continues to explore adjunctive administration of pharmaceuticals such as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) for treatment resistant depression. Medlab’s pilot study investigating SAMe and Magnesium Orotate suggested that intestinal dysbiosis was implicated in depression with systemic inflammation and possible impairment of vagal nerve signaling. Therefore, further investigations should include a diagnostic examination for gastrointestinal tract dysfunction followed by intervention with specific probiotic strains to improve a dysbiotic gastrointestinal tract that could enhance a patient's response to treatments taken orally for depression.

Medlab Research Update: SAMe and Magnesium Orotate as Adjunctive to SSRIs
Anti-depressants are first line treatment for moderate to severe depression and offer benefits both short and long term. Important problems persist such as intolerability, delayed therapeutic onset, limited efficacy in milder depression and the existence of treatment-resistant depression.

Medlab Research Update: NanoCelle
NanoCelle® Technology - is a unique delivery platform that has demonstrated effective and convenient delivery of an active ingredient administered as a spray onto the oro-buccal membrane (inside of the cheek). The aim of Medlab’s clinical study with healthy participants was to compare the absorption profiles over a 6-hour period of five different vitamin B12 formulations, administered via the oral-intestinal tract, oral mucosa and oro-buccal sites.

Anti-inflammatory Effects of Sulforaphane
Sulforaphane (SF) is an isothiocyanate compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage and broccoli and has received a lot of attention regarding preventative health all due to SFs anti-inflammatory properties. Strong evidence supports SFs role in inflammation and action as an immunomodulator by interfering with Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) and modifying the inflammatory process by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Importance of Uridine
All tissues have a requisite for uridine. Uridine is an important nucleoside precursor in the pyrimidine salvage pathway. Except for erythrocytes and the liver and kidney, which maintain de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis and supply other tissues with uridine for salvage, most normal tissues in adults rely on the salvage of uridine from plasma.
