Collagen peptide supplementation before bedtime reduces sleep fragmentation and improves cognitive function in physically active males with sleep complaints

Abstract Purpose The primary aim of this study was to examine whether a glycine-rich collagen peptides (CP) supplement could enhance sleep quality in physically active men with self-reported sleep complaints. Methods In a randomized, crossover design, 13 athletic males (age: 24 ± 4 years; training volume; 7 ± 3 h·wk1) with sleep complaints (Athens Insomnia Scale, 9 ± 2) consumed CP (15 g·day1) or…

Association between plant and animal protein and biological aging: findings from the UK Biobank

Abstract Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between plant protein, animal protein and biological aging through different dimensions of biological aging indices. Then explore the effects of substitution of plant protein, animal protein, and their food sources on biological aging. Methods The data came from 79,294 participants in the UK Biobank who completed…

Pomegranate, olive and milk thistle extract in vitro studies: skin ageing and hyperpigmentation

Pomegranate, olive and milk thistle extract in vitro studies: skin ageing and hyperpigmentation

Skin ageing is the result of complex biochemical processes leading to reduction of collagen, elastic fibres and hyaluronic acid. Oxidative stress and inflammation are closely related to pathophysiological processes involved with ageing, such as skin and connective tissue progressive deterioration. Age and excessive exposure to UV radiation cause a significant degeneration of extracellular matrix (ECM),…
