Apple cider vinegar shows promise for weight management in overweight and obese individuals

Sep 15 2025 - A new section on Bone Health and the Gut–Bone Axis is included in the September 2025 update, which highlights new research suggesting tart cherries may improve bone formation by modifying the gut microbiota and increasing the production of short-chain fatty acids. Updates to the nutritional profile and anti-inflammatory mechanisms were also influenced by a recently published preclinical study (Adedigba et al., Nutrients, 2025), which is now cited as reference [11].

Tart Cherry Benefits: Fact or Fiction for Wellness and Recovery?

Sep 2 2025 - New research by Tufail et al. (2025) has been added to the article. The UN's "Tree of the 21st Century," neem's cultural recognition as "Sarvaroga nivarini," a "village pharmacy," and its expanded therapeutic properties (antioxidant, antihyperglycemic, hepatoprotective, and gastroprotective) are among the additions. Along with an expanded list of phytochemicals (salannin, nimbolinin, nimbidol, gedunin, sodium nimbinate, limonoids), the botanical profile now includes information on neem's lifespan (150–200 years), flowering cycles, and fruit yield. The antibacterial properties of bark and twigs were demonstrated in the oral health section, and specific lipid-modulating and antihyperglycemic effects are now noted in the metabolic and chronic disease management section. The section on cancer focuses on the anticancer mechanisms of limonoids. Recent extraction techniques pertinent to clinical applications, such as water/solvent extraction, cold pressing, steam distillation, CO₂ extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction, are highlighted in the conclusion. As a result, reference #12 (Tufail et al., 2025) was included.

Aug 13 2025 - Name change from "10-hydroxy-cis-12-octadecenoic acid" to "10-hydroxystearic acid". "10-hydroxystearic acid" refers to a saturated fatty acid with a hydroxyl group at the tenth carbon, while "10-hydroxy-cis-12-octadecenoic acid" is an unsaturated fatty acid with a hydroxyl group at the tenth carbon and a double bond at the twelfth carbon. The latter is a specific intermediate in linoleic acid metabolism, while the former is a broader term for a saturated hydroxy fatty acid.
