I thought it would be good to help you sift through noise and share the latest peer reviewed research. From cognitive enhancers to skin, stress and sleep — here are 7 new studies you’ll want to keep in your toolkit.
1. Lions Mane fruiting bodies vs mycelium
A 2024 randomised clinical trial investigating Lion’s Mane extract in older adults found that supplementation with fruiting body alone did not result in statistically significant improvements in measured outcomes. The authors noted that future research may benefit from examining the effects of full-spectrum preparations, which include both fruiting body and mycelium, to explore their potential for supporting health.

7. Spirulina and blood pressure
This 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated 10 randomised controlled trials assessing Spirulina supplementation in adults.
