A massive new analysis has delivered a dose of reality to the booming supplement market, revealing that out of nearly 140 different nutrient and plant-based compounds, only three — a specific omega-3 fatty acid called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Vitamin D3, and a particular St. John's wort extract known as ZE117 — showed potentially significant effects on depression symptoms. However, even these promising findings come with a major catch: the researchers noted these effects were 'unrealistically large' in many studies, often linked to lower study quality.

Weight Loss Wonders, Hair Loss Woes? New Studies Link GLP-1 Drugs to Shedding

Hold onto your hats – and maybe your hair – as two major new studies shed light on a surprising potential side effect of the incredibly popular GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy: hair loss. Researchers at Penn Medicine found that people with Type 2 diabetes taking GLP-1 medications were significantly more likely to experience hair loss, by as much as 68%, compared to those on other diabetes drugs. Separately, NYU Langone Health scientists discovered a genetic link, suggesting men already prone to male-pattern baldness face an added 7% risk of shedding if they have higher GLP-1 receptor activity. This isn't just about rapid weight loss anymore; there might be a direct biological connection.
