Wegovy (semaglutide) vs Zepbound (tirzepatide). Which results in more weight loss??
YouTube video by Scientific Supplement Reviews Wegovy (semaglutide) vs Zepbound (tirzepatide). Which results in more weight loss??

Battle of the weight loss jabs! πŸ§ͺ

Wegovy (Novo Nordisk) and Zepbound (Eli Lilly) dominate the market, but which loses you more weight?

A large clinical trial reported results in a direct comparison and we have a winner!

Watch my brief summary of the trial here: youtu.be/g6p_yIOHWPw

NAD+ and aging! πŸ§ͺ

Popular (and expensive!) 'longevity' supplement NAD+ has previously been shown to play a role in aging in mice.

A brand new paper finds that reduced NAD levels in mice does NOT lead to accelerated aging.

hi! Thank you very much for your interest.

Strawberries are rich in anti-oxidants and also contain quite a bit of Vitamin C. All of these components do indeed play a role in helping fight cancer cells.
However - as with Vitc - strawberries alone, will not be able to eradicate cancer.

Lysine vitcylation is a vitamin C-derived protein modification that enhances STAT1-mediated immune response Vitamin C directly modifies lysine residues through vitcylation, regulating STAT1 signaling and enhancing anti-tumor immune responses by preventing STAT1 dephosphorylation.

Vitamin C helps the immune system fight cancer cells!

Paper in Cell out recently.

Short review video to follow shortly

LED masks for younger looking skin. Do they work??
YouTube video by Scientific Supplement Reviews LED masks for younger looking skin. Do they work??

Are these LED facemasks that claim to rejuvenate your skin pseudoscience or legit?? πŸ§ͺ

I have been wondering this for some time, so I reviewed the clinical evidence and summarised my findings here:

I am about to drop another scientific review video looking at the evidence behind LED phototherapy.

More on this soon..... #ledmasks #phototherapy

Believe it or not, I have never tried ChatGPT until today. This is the conversation I just had with him (her?).

No! I am sorry to disappoint. The study finds that calcium -containing diary products all have a protective effect EXCEPT cheese and ice cream. I suspect this may have something to do with the fact that the 'bad' things in cheese and ice cream (i.e. fats) outweigh the 'good' things (i.e. Ca2+)

Yes. Regarding NAD we need bigger and longer human studies to be sure. There are actually not a lot of supplements put there, where there is strong scientific evidence that they work. Vitamin C is one example, and - surprisingly - ecdysteroids to build muscle. Got a video on that.

Thanks again for the feedback. I definitely still need to become more 'polished' and Gen Z friendly.

I tried uploading some of my videos on TikTok, and the analytics there show that 90% of viewers stop watching within the first 5 seconds. (Not sure I can cut it all down to that time frame....)
