25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels and the Risk of Mortality in the General Population - Source: Archives of Internal Medicine, Aug 11, 2008
Long term tracking of 13,331 US adults found those in the lowest vitamin D quartile were 26% more likely to die of any cause than those in the highest D group, report researchers at Johns Hopkins & Albert Einstein. [Source: Archives of Internal Medicine, Aug 11, 2008] |

The combined effects of L-theanine and caffeine on cognitive performance and mood. - Source: Nutritional Neuroscience, Aug 2008
Research replicates previous evidence suggesting that in combination caffeine and L-theanine – an amino acid known for ability to enter the brain and support reduced mental & physical stress/relaxation - support improvements in speed, accuracy, and focus in cognitively demanding tasks that are superior to improvements achieved with caffeine alone. It’s a combo most commonly found in green tea. - Source: Nutritional Neuroscience, Aug 2008. |

From vitamin D to hormone D: Fundamentals of the vitamin D endocrine system essential for good health - Source: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Aug 2008
Suggesting the nutritional guidelines for vitamin D3 intake be reevaluated, since our understanding of its “biological sphere of influence” has broadened at least 9-fold, from the target organs required for calcium homeostasis (intestine, bone, kidney, and parathyroid), to at least 36 organs.

Fibromyalgia pain and its modulation by hypnotic and non-hypnotic suggestion: An fMRI analysis - Source: European Journal of Pain, Jul 22, 2008
fMRI imaging of hypnotized subjects provided direct evidence that FM pain may in fact be caused by pain signals diffusing from regions of the brain associated with severe pain experience. Patients dialed down the measurable signals significantly when asked to. [Source: European Journal of Pain, Jul 22, 2008] |
