NEW STUDIES 1
The Kyolic Garlic & Aerobic Fitness Trial
Arterial stiffness is a cardiovascular risk factor, which increases naturally with age. Kyolic garlic has been shown to improve the flexibility of arteries, and slows down blood flow, which may improve oxygen uptake, associated with aerobic fitness.
NEW STUDIES 2
Prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in adults & prevention of respiratory tract infections
Vitamin D & respiratory tract infections
A large body of studies have shown Vitamin D levels to be of great importance in the prevention and severity of acute respiratory infections. Vitamin D protects against pathogens including viruses via the innate and adaptive immune system, involving white blood cells and T-cells. It is known, that a large proportion of Australians are Vitamin D deficient, specifically older people. Research has shown Vitamin D supplementation to be a key to alleviate Vitamin D deficiency.
