Both men and women within the highest tertile of potassium intake had a lower risk of CVD events compared with those within the lowest tertile of potassium intake, but the HR associated with high potassium intake was lower in women than in men (fully adjusted model: men: HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.87–1.00; women: HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.83–0.95).

Significant findings of this systemic review and meta-analysis of 41 papers with a total of 53,235 participants show that subgroup analysis in participants with clinically relevant depressive symptoms (including subjects with MDD) yielded a moderate effect favoring vitamin D supplementation (Hedges’ g = −0.604, 95% CI −0.802 to −0.406, p < 0.001, I2 = 78.4%).
Written by Taylor Woosley, Staff Writer. 12-week supplementation with BB-1000 (blackberry fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum JBMI F5) at 800 mg/day reduced the degree of eye wrinkles to 0.22 ± 0.47 from baseline at 12 weeks. Furthermore, the skin wrinkle volumes of the BB-1000 group increased by 2.65 ± 1.94 mm3 at 12-weeks, compared to placebo (p < 0.05).
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Staff Writer. A significantly lower incidence of death was found in participants in the highest dietary fiber intake group compared to the lowest for both all-cause mortality (HR = 0.84, P <0.001) and CVD mortality (our = 0.61, P <0.001).
Written by Taylor Woosley, Staff Writer. Monthly supplementation of 100,000 IU of cholecalciferol was associated with a 2-fold increase in vitamin D levels, from 17 ± 5 ng/mL to 35 ± 7 ng/mL (p < 0.0001) after 12 weeks. Serum levels of log transformed flOPN were significantly reduced (p=0.03) and log FGF-23 was increased in the treated group (p = 0.04).

Analysis of a systemic review of 11 studies and a meta-analysis including 6 papers show that selenium supplementation increased MDA levels significantly by an average of 0.95 (0.44, 1.45) times (p = 0.0002). Furthermore, Se only supplementation significantly increased GPX activity by an average of 0.95 (0.59, 1.31) times (p = 0.00001).
