For Episode #164 of the PricePlow Podcast, Ben Kane sits down with Cassie Smith (Senior Editorial Content Director at SupplySide) and Josh Long (Associate Editorial Director at SupplySide Supplement Journal) for a dynamic discussion recorded live at SupplySide Connect New Jersey 2025. This wide-ranging conversation dives into the most pressing issues facing the supplement industry today, with particular focus on the regulatory uncertainty created by changing tariff policies, FDA oversight challenges, and the evolving landscape of GLP-1 related products and claims. The panel unpacks the complex implications of recent tariff changes on supplement ingredients from China, the ongoing evolution of FDA enforcement priorities under changing leadership, and the controversial marketing practices surrounding GLP-1 mimetics in the supplement space. Throughout the conversation, they highlight a critical need for industry unity, more nuanced discourse on regulatory matters, and a stronger focus on quality products that genuinely benefit consumers rather than minimal-effort “functional” products with questionable claims.

In this episode of Intelligent Medicine, Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the rising importance of integrating culinary medicine in modern healthcare. Leyla emphasizes the need for blending ancient dietary wisdom with contemporary scientific practices to improve overall health and prevent disease. She highlights how convenience foods laden with preservatives and additives are detrimental to our gut health and advocates for a more thoughtful approach to nutrition.

A recent study published in the Journal of Functional Foods delved into the impact of kimchi consumption on body composition. Researchers conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, where participants were assigned to either a kimchi or placebo group. After a specific period of kimchi or placebo consumption, the kimchi group exhibited a significant reduction in body fat compared to the placebo group. This suggests that regular kimchi consumption may contribute to weight loss and improved body composition. #kimchi #bodyfat #weightloss #metabolism #Leuconostocmesenteroides Wooje Lee, Min-Sung Kwon, Ye-Rang Yun, et al.

Longevity has become a cultural phenomenon…and that should be making functional CPG entrepreneurs salivate more than all those customers providing samples for DNA test kits. Did you know that more than half of Americans say it's their goal to live to 100? But becoming a centenarian wasn't always a goal sought by most Americans…partly because of what I've dubbed the “Mrs. Fletcher Effect.” You might be too young to remember these famous early-90s "I've fallen and I can't get up" TV commercials, but the frailty of Mrs. Fletcher certainly didn't help public perception of aging populations. Alternatively, when you see “Mrs. Fletcher” typecast in today's connected TV digital ads…she would be shown playing chess, running a marathon, starting a new business, or traveling extensively with family. But it's that simple (but massive) paradigm shift, around the image of growing older, which created many second-order effects. Because even if almost everyone accepts that “Father Time” will remain undefeated, more people are realizing they can have some control over the pace and trajectory of functional decline. This behavioral change arguably gained importance in the last decade, as more individuals began viewing themselves as consumers in the healthcare market compared to solely being patients. Because of that, consumer healthcare has begun evolving from a reactive, one-size-fits-all approach to a distinctively proactive, personalized, and integrative approach. But as you'd imagine…that marketplace evolution has created immense opportunities, with American consumers spending billions annually seeking to improve their “health span,” a popular term defined the period of your life that's spent healthy, rather than simply how long you will physically be alive. A key aspect of this massive opportunity centers around the fact that Millennials and Baby Boomers have increasingly mirrored one another in adopting healthy lifestyle habits. And while it doesn't happen often, duality can be an extremely powerful force when considering the potential impact of a CPG industry trend. But with consumers of all ages (not just the older ones) looking for ways to extend the number of years they spend free from chronic disease…as well as the physical, cognitive, and emotional decline that can accompany aging, its certainly great news for CPG brands positioned within the emerging and intersecting categories of functional foods, functional beverages, and dietary supplements. And to help entrepreneurs in that pursuit of discovering attractive commercial opportunities, my latest first principles thinking content will cover the top need states (and key functional ingredient trends) within longevity and healthy aging, which includes cognitive health, mobility, muscle health (and strength), cellular health, and better appearance. Finally, I'll quickly run through an often-overlooked consumer insight and marketing strategy that's key to unlocking the booming business of longevity.

In Episode #125 of the PricePlow Podcast, Ben and Mike welcome Michael Alfaro, the founder and CEO of Master Foods Lab, a specialty contract manufacturer in the supplement industry that focuses on functional foods and high-protein snacks. The focus of the podcast is on functional foods, specifically baked goods, which we delve into after a tour of the Master Foods facility and some flavor tastings. But first, we get into Michael's business background, which started in CrossFit, and eventually learn why he's called the “Head Rhino”. This is a long episode, so we dive heavily into a lot of ingredient science. It will explain a lot of common questions that brands have when attempting to create a new functional food. For instance, Michael answers why you can't just easily make a collagen protein bar that has 100% collagen protein.

At SupplySide West 2024, one of the biggest events was a panel discussion held at the Kyowa Hakko USA booth, featuring a star-studded cast of influential industry advocates: Dan Lourenço – Founder and CEO of Ghost Joey Savage – Chief Scientific Officer of Glaxon Chris Lockwood – VP of Scientific Affairs at Nutrabolt David Sandler – Scientific Consultant and COO of Jupiter Wellness The topic of the panel was The Growth of Branded Ingredients, with an initial focus on Cognizin Citicoline, an ingredient used by everyone listed above. The episode offers fresh and unique perspectives from each member, who have different reasons and purposes for various ingredients. When you're as big as these brands, you have to rely on trusted and legally compliant inputs, and few in this industry are as trusted as Kyowa Hakko! Embracing branded ingredients and collaborative competition This was a hallmark moment for the dietary supplement industry — one that we call “collaborative competition”. To put it bluntly, a panel like this simply wouldn't have happened 5+ years ago. But with a growing industry where all good players can win, and companies like PricePlow and Kyowa Hakko here to bring a network of forward-thinking industry advocates together, it's now a reality. With this, we get more information, less duplication of mistakes, and the consumer is ultimately the beneficiary. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/kyowa-branded-ingredients-ssw-2023 Video Version: Watch Dan, Joey, and Chris Talk Branded Ingredients https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjpmO_3nsk0 Audio Version available for download Detailed Show Notes: Embracing Branded Ingredients with Kyowa at SSW 2023 (0:00) – Introductions and Branded Ingredients (1:45) – Why use Cognizin in supplement formulations?

What if there were a simple way to fix your diet (without dieting) and become healthier with every bite? Today's guest, science communicator and nutrition expert Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, says there is. Even for those of us who really care about what we eat, there's still a lot of confusion and a huge barrier to good information about basic nutrition concepts.

I'm really excited to share this new podcast episode with you. Dr. Sarah Ballantyne created a whole new system to help us all understand what it means to eat for health. Join us for a fascinating discussion about nutrition, the body, and what it means to increase your nutrient intake.

“We are A PART OF nature, we are not apart from nature.” —Hoda Mohajerani At our core, humans are a part of nature, not separate from it. Our health and well-being depend heavily on the natural world around us. The modern world may have pushed us into a distance from nature, but if we want to achieve optimal health, we must ensure that our choices are in harmony with the world around us. By working with the natural rhythms of the earth, we can create thriving ecosystems that nourish both our bodies and the planet. Founded by Hoda Mohajerani, Chakra Chai® is a heart-centered business that believes that food is not just vital for our bodies, but it can also heal the environment. Based on the Ayurvedic teachings on the interconnectedness of life, they are committed to spreading values that are in harmony with the earth and its people and are proud of their regenerative agriculture techniques and responsible business practices. Their mission is not only to offer exceptional products but also to contribute positively to society. Being a part of the Eco-Alliance, Chakra Chai® is passionate about discovering sustainable packaging alternatives to reduce their impact on the planet. This is why they prioritize utilizing materials that are compostable, recyclable, and reusable. In this episode, Justine sits with Hoda to discuss why we should be mindful of the food we consume and how we consume them. They also share how we can apply “regenerative” not only in agriculture but also in our business, how food can build a community, where individual and systemic change start, what Ayurveda means, what are chakras, and how we can nourish these energy centers. With so much valuable information to gain, you won't want to miss this week's podcast! Meet Hoda: Following the loss of her newborn son, Arta, Hoda's body, mind, and soul were in a state of disarray. Her heart was shattered, her energy depleted, and she suffered from chronic gut and colon problems. Hoda's being was in turmoil while she struggled to find solace in her physical and emotional state. However, the sheer power of her will kept her going through the toughest of times. While meditating at home, Hoda heard a whisper from her dear Arta: “Chakra Chai”. At first, she was not sure what it meant or what her little one was trying to tell her. Over time, though, she began to understand the profound message, delivered with the utmost tenderness and love. Hoda received a download of information that she knew was sacred and powerful. She sat with her thoughts and quieted her mind, allowing for the message to sink in and take root. She knew that this was an incredible gift, one that she had to honor and pursue with all her being. CHAKRA CHAI is the product of her loss and grief, but it has become Hoda's mission in life to offer a drink that brings wholeness, balance, and strength to those who need it.

Omega-3 and Omega-6 supplement improves reading for children University of Gothenburg, Sweden - September 14, 2022 Supplement of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may improve reading skills of mainstream schoolchildren, according to a new study from Sahlgrenska Academy, at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Children with attention problems, in particular, may be helped in their reading with the addition of these fatty acids. The study included 154 schoolchildren from western Sweden in grade 3, between nine and ten years old. The children took a computer-based test (known as the Logos test) that measured their reading skills in a variety of ways, including reading speed, ability to read nonsense words and vocabulary. The children were randomly assigned to receive either capsules with omega-3 and omega-6, or identical capsules that contained a placebo (palm oil) for 3 months. The children, parents and researchers did not learn until the study was completed which children had received fatty acids and which had received the placebo. After three months, all children received real omega-3/6 capsules for the final three months of the study. "Even after three months, we could see that the children's reading skills improved with the addition of fatty acids, compared with those who received the placebo. This was particularly evident in the ability to read a nonsense word aloud and pronounce it correctly (phonologic decoding), and the ability to read a series of letters quickly (visual analysis time)," says Mats Johnson, who is chief physician and researcher at the Gillberg Neuropsychiatry Centre at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg. No children diagnosed with ADHD were included in the study, but with the help of the children's parents, the researchers could identify children who had milder attention problems. These children attained even greater improvements in several tests, including faster reading already after three months of receiving fatty acid supplements. Mango could help maintain gut bacteria at risk from high-fat diets Oklahoma State University, SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 Mango consumption could help prevent the loss of beneficial gut bacteria caused by a high fat diet, according to research on mice. The findings, published in the Journal of Nutrition , appears to reveal for the first time the positive impact of mango on gut microbiota. In the study, 60 male mice were assigned to one of four dietary treatment groups for 12 weeks - control (with 10% of calories from fat), high fat (with 60% calories from fat), or high fat with 1% or 10% mango. All high-fat diets had similar macronutrient, calcium, phosphorus, and fiber content. “We investigated the effects of freeze-dried mango pulp combined with an high-fat diet on the cecal microbial population and its relation to body composition, lipids, glucose parameters, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, and gut inflammatory markers in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity,” the study reports. The high-fat dietary treatment with 10% mango (equivalent to 1½ cups of fresh mango pieces) was found to be the most effective in preventing the loss of beneficial bacteria from a high-fat diet without decreasing body weight or fat accumulation. Specifically, mango supplementation regulated gut bacteria in favor of Bifidobacteria and Akkermansia and enhanced short-chain fatty acid (SFCA) production. SCFAs have been shown to possess a wide range of beneficial effects, such as anti-inflammatory properties. Yoga improves arthritis symptoms and mood, study finds Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, September 15, 2022 A randomized trial of people with two common forms of arthritis has found that yoga can be safe and effective for people with arthritis. Johns Hopkins researchers report that 8 weeks of yoga classes improved the physical and mental wellbeing of people with two common forms of arthritis, knee osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The study is believed to be the largest randomized trial so far to examine the effect of yoga on physical and psychological health and quality of life among people with arthritis. The study recruited 75 people with either knee osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Participants were randomly assigned to either a wait list or eight weeks of twice-weekly yoga classes, plus a weekly practice session at home. Participants' physical and mental wellbeing was assessed before and after the yoga session by researchers who did not know which group the participants had been assigned to. Compared with the control group, those doing yoga reported a 20% improvement in pain, energy levels, mood and physical function, including their ability to complete physical tasks at work and home. Walking speed also improved to a smaller extent, though there was little difference between the groups in tests of balance and upper body strength. Improvements in those who completed yoga was still apparent nine months later. Stevia Kills Lyme Disease Pathogen Better Than Antibiotics (Preclinical Study) University of New Haven, September 21, 2022 A promising new preclinical study has revealed that whole stevia leaf extract possesses exceptional antibiotic activity against the exceedingly difficult to treat pathogen Borrelia Burgdorferi known to cause Lyme disease. The study found, "Stevia whole leaf extract, as an individual agent, was effective against all known morphological forms of B. burgdorferi." At present, the CDC acknowledges that at least 300,000 are infected with Lyme disease, annually, with the conventional standard of care relying on antibiotics that are not only toxic but increasingly coming under scrutiny for addressing only surface aspects of the infection, often leaving antibiotic-resistance Lyme disease deep within the system to continue to cause harm. The new study was published in the European Journal of Microbiology & Immunology and conducted by researchers from the Department of Biology and Environmental Science, University of New Haven, West Haven, CT. The researchers directly compared an alcohol extract of a whole stevia leaf product commonly found on the U.S. retail market to conventional antibiotics, and assessed their respective abilities to kill the various forms of Borrelia burgdorferi, including so called "persister" forms. The researchers explored Stevia's potential effectiveness against B. burgdorferi cultures, comparing it to three common antibiotics sometimes used to treat Lyme's disease: doxycycline, cefoperazone, daptomycin, as well as their combination. The study results were summarized as follows: Our results demonstrated that Stevia had significant effect in eliminating B. burgdorferi spirochetes and persisters. Sub-culture experiments with Stevia and antibiotics treated cells were established for 7 and 14 days yielding, no and 10% viable cells, respectively compared to the above-mentioned antibiotics and antibiotic combination. When Stevia and the three antibiotics were tested against attached biofilms, Stevia significantly reduced B. burgdorferi forms. Results from this study suggest that a natural product such as Stevia leaf extract could be considered as an effective agent against B. burgdorferi." Notably, the study found that the most antibiotic resistant form of B. burgdorferi, the biofilm form, actually increased in mass when individual antibiotics were administered. Stevia, on the other hand, reduced the biofilm mass on both tested surfaces (plastic and collagen) by about 40%. Green soy extract could prevent cognitive dysfunction: Mouse data University of Shizuoka (Japan), September 19, 2022 Intake of green soybean extract could help reverse cognitive dysfunction and its associated accumulation of beta-amyloid proteins in the brain, say researchers. The accumulation of beta-amyloid proteins has long been linked to the development of brain stunting conditions including Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Writing in the Journal of Functional Foods, the team revealed that brain functions were ‘significantly better-preserved' in aged mice fed green soybean than age-matched control mice with or without yellow soybean feeding. An increased expression of lipocalin-type prostaglandin D2 synthase (Ptgds) and a significant reduction in the amyloid precursor protein Aplp1 was reported by the team, led by Keiko Unno from the University of Shizuoka in Japan. “Furthermore, the amount of beta-amyloid 40 and 42 was reduced in the insoluble fraction of cerebral cortex,” the team noted. In the current study, the isoflavones found to be present in soybean extracts were mostly the glycosides genstin and daidzin. Furthermore, the contents of saponin and carotene in green soybean were found to be slightly higher in the green than in yellow, however the contents of other components were not different between green and yellow soybeans. JAMA study links low vitamin D levels to ‘profound' and ‘rapid' cognitive decline Rutgers University & University of California Davis, September 15, 2022 Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency may have “substantial” accelerating effects on cognitive decline in the elderly, says a new study from UC Davis and Rutgers University. Low levels of the sunshine vitamin were associated with a three times faster rate of cognitive decline than those with adequate vitamin D levels, according to findings published in JAMA Neurology . The low vitamin D levels were associated with impaired performance, particularly in domains such as memory loss that are associated with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, added the researchers. The researchers said their findings amplify the importance of identifying vitamin D insufficiency among the elderly, particularly high-risk groups such as African-Americans and Hispanics, who are less able to absorb the nutrient from its most plentiful source: sunshine. Among those groups and other darker-skinned individuals, low vitamin D should be considered a risk factor for dementia, they added. Dr Miller and his co-workers analyzed data from 382 racially and ethnically diverse men and women (mean age of 76) in Northern California participating in longitudinal research at the Alzheimer's Disease Center in Sacramento. Of the participants, 41% were white, 30% were African American, 25% were Hispanics, and 4% were from other racial/ethnic groups. The participants were either cognitively normal, or had mild cognitive impairment or dementia. Baseline data showed that 26% of the participants were vitamin D deficient, while 35% were insufficient. Among Caucasians, 54% had low vitamin D, compared with 70% of African-Americans and Hispanics. The rate of cognitive decline was found to be two-to-three times faster in the vitamin D deficient people over five years of study, compared to people with adequate serum vitamin D levels. In other words, it took only two years for the deficient individuals to decline as much as those with adequate vitamin D declined during the five-year follow-up period.

Stuff that's in season tends to be less expensive.” Jenn Trepeck“Just because you can eat it, doesn't mean it's nutritious.” Jenn Trepeck“It's about being savvy consumers. We hold strong to what we know to be true for ourselves and not fall prey to the marketing messages of the food industry.” Jenn Trepeck“During the pandemic, some restaurants did virtual cooking classes or the cocktails for pickup and delivery. So all of these kinds of things that sort of bring the restaurant to the home. And so according to datassential, there's likely to be more of the hospitality driven dining experience at home.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of Fries Jenn's Free Menu PlanJenn's InstagramSalad with a Side of Fries InstagramA Salad With a Side of Fries Website

Could a healthier, more nutritious diet be as simple as upgrading your salt and pepper shakers? Startup founder and food activist Raina Kumra is on a mission to rethink how we spice up our everyday meals with her new company Spicewell—and plant-powered condiments. Raina dishes on the surprising nutritional deficiencies in the average U.S. diet, plant phytonutrients, and the link between her products and Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine that originated in India over 3,000 years ago.SHOW NOTES + TRANSCRIPT: acertainagepod.comFOLLOW A CERTAIN AGE:InstagramFacebookLinkedInGET INBOX INSPO:Sign up for our newsletter AGE BOLDLYWe share new episodes, giveaways, links we live, and midlife resourcesLIKE BOOKS?Each month we do an author BOOK LOOK on Instagram Live Follow us for the fun! @acertainagepodCONTACT US:katie@acertainagepod.com
Lingonberry moderates high-salt diet inflammation University of Helsinki (Finland), March 7, 2022 Lingonberry juice slightly lowers low-grade inflammation in rats fed on a high-salt diet, according to scientists. The rats were fed on 8% sodium chloride enriched pellets and given tap water or diluted lingonberry juice for ten weeks. The research, published in the Journal of Functional Foods, sought to test whether lingonberry juice could beneficially affect salt-induced inflammation and hypertension. The scientists saw that the salt-loaded diet impaired kidney function of rats without clear effect on blood pressure or vascular function. Within this, lingonberry juice was shown to moderately reduce biomarkers of low-grade inflammation. The researchers said the anti-inflammatory effects of polyphenols could explain positive cardiovascular effects. “We have found that lingonberry, a northern berry rich in polyphenols, improves vascular endothelium-dependent relaxation and decreases blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats,” the researchers said. (NEXT) Physical activity may protect your brain as you age University of Georgia, March 8, 2022 We all know we should exercise and eat healthy. But doing that isn't just good for maintaining your figure as you age. New research from the University of Georgia shows that physical activity could help protect your cognitive abilities as you age. And it doesn't have to be intense exercise to make an impact. Published in Sport Sciences for Health, the study followed 51 older adults, tracking their physical activity and fitness measurements. The participants performed tests specifically designed to measure cognitive functioning and underwent MRIs to assess brain functioning. (NEXT) Beta-Glucans Boost Natural Killer Cells to Fight Cancer, Boost Immunity Université de la Méditerranée (France), March 10, 2022 Often used as medicine, beta-glucans are naturally occurring, biologically active polysaccharides that are found in the cell walls of mushrooms, algae, lichens, plants, and some bacteria. This matters because beta-glucans are also immunostimulating and boost the effectiveness of your body's own cancer-eradicating natural killer cells, or NK cells. Natural killer cells are effector lymphocytes of the innate immune system that control several types of tumors and microbial infections by limiting their spread and subsequent tissue damage. Recent research highlights the fact that NK cells are also regulatory cells engaged in reciprocal interactions with dendritic cells, macrophages, T cells and endothelial cells. NK cell manipulation seems to hold promise in efforts to improve hematopoietic and solid organ transplantation, promote antitumor immunotherapy and control inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.” Oyster mushrooms and shitake are especially anti-carcinogenic for their high levels of beta-glucans. These mushrooms have also been shown to help destroy cancer cells, specifically. While different mushrooms have different levels of these healthy polysaccharides, most have been proven to boost immunity and also to have cytotoxic effects on cancer cells (meaning they help to kill them). (NEXT) Telling kids they're special may foster narcissism Ohio State University, March 9, 2022 Children who are told they are special by their parents are more likely to become narcissists, according to a study that aimed to uncover the origins of extreme selfishness The research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is based on 565 children in the Netherlands who were surveyed over the course of a year and a half, along with their parents. Children whose parents described them as "more special than other children" and as kids who "deserve something extra in life" were more likely to score higher on tests of narcissism than peers who were not lauded in this way. Researchers also measured how much parents overvalued their children by asking how much they agreed with statements like: "My child is a great example for other children to follow." The children were between seven and 11 when they entered the study. Parental warmth and encouragement may be a better strategy than inflating the ego, the study found. Youths who said they were often told they were loved by their parents were more likely to show high self-esteem but not narcissism. Children with high self-esteem did not see themselves as more special than others, but agreed with statements that they were happy with themselves and liked themselves as they were. (NEXT) DHA improves children's sleep Oxford University March 10 2022. The results of a study described in an article published in the Journal of Sleep Research reveal an association between higher levels of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and better sleep in children. In a pilot study of 362 primary school students aged seven to nine years, Oxford University found that supplementation with 600 milligrams DHA per day for 16 weeks improved sleep in a sampling of participants who were rated by their parents as sleeping poorly. Those who received DHA experienced seven fewer waking episodes and nearly an hour more sleep than those who received placebos. When blood fatty acid levels were evaluated, the researchers found an association with higher levels of DHA and less bedtime resistance, parasomnias and total sleep disturbances. Having a higher ratio of DHA to arachidonic acid was also associated with better sleep.
“Regenerative is as much about an agricultural practice, as it is a strategy to ensure that every aspect of the business is really thinking about their footprint today and tomorrow.” -Tara Kriese Episode Description: ChoCho is a species of Lupin grown in the Andes, mainly cultivated because of its high protein content. This super protein belongs to whole foods, is vegan, gluten-free, keto and paleo-friendly, and non-GMO. What makes ChoCho so innovative besides being drought-tolerant and rainwater-watered, is that it improves soil quality in terms of retaining water and fertility! Cho Cho is also lectin-free which is great for people with digestive problems such as bloating, diarrhea, vomiting, and more! This week, Mikuna Foods' CEO, Tara Kriese joins the show. “Mikuna” means nourishing the body through food- from the ancient Kichwa concept of nutrition. Justine and Tara discuss what regenerative means for us as individuals and as a people, chasing a more impactful dream, the benefits of going plant-based, how to navigate a nonlinear entrepreneurial journey, exciting developments for Mikuna, and why the healthy food industry is great business potential. When it comes to a lot of crops, sustainable usually means “staying the same”. However, what the world needs now is to move towards a more regenerative future. Mikuna was created to lift the spirit and nourish the soul, we hope you enjoy every sip and leave empowered! Connect with Tara: Tara works tirelessly as Mikuna Foods' current CEO, the very company that introduced Chocho, a clean superfood protein from Ecuador into the US Market.
