This study investigates the effects of a yeast-derived fermentate (EpiCor) on cold and flu symptoms in nonvaccinated individuals. A 12-week randomized controlled trial showed that those taking EpiCor had significantly fewer and shorter cold/flu episodes compared to the placebo group. The study suggests that postbiotics can enhance immune function even without live bacteria.

• Boosts immune response
• reduces symptom severity
• shortens duration of illness

Malkanthi Evans, Canada/USA, 2012, Experimental Study

A dried yeast fermentate was tested in two separate inflammation models. In rats, it reduced localized inflammation by up to 50% within 24 hours. In mice with autoimmune arthritis, it decreased arthritis symptoms, antibody response, and inflammatory markers. These findings suggest postbiotics may have therapeutic potential for inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

• Reduces inflammation
• supports autoimmune health
• tested in animal models

Gitte S. Jensen, USA, 2007, In Vitro Study

This study analyzed the impact of EpiCor on human immune cells in vitro. It found that EpiCor enhanced the activation of B lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells, leading to increased chemotactic awareness and stronger immune responses. It also demonstrated antioxidant properties by reducing oxidative stress in immune cells.

• Boosts natural killer cells
• enhances immune cell activation
• reduces oxidative stress

Dr. Yahav Oron, Israel & Canada, 2010, Clinical Study

This study compared three cerumenolytic agents and measured their effects on hearing and cognitive function in elderly patients. CleanEars® was the only treatment to achieve complete earwax removal in both ears. The study also found that hearing improvements after treatment led to better cognitive test scores.

• Improves hearing
• enhances cognitive function
• effective cerumenolytic

Dr. Ronit Lubetzky, Israel, Pediatric Study

A clinical study on 30 infants found that Cradle Cap Cleanser effectively treated infantile seborrheic dermatitis. All patients showed significant improvements within one week, with complete resolution of scaling and lesions by two weeks.

• Treats cradle cap
• antifungal & antioxidant properties
• safe for infants

Dr. Y. Roth, Israel, Expert Opinion

An expert evaluation of DryEars® found it to be a safe and effective method for preventing swimmer’s ear (external otitis). The study highlights its innovative spray system, which helps remove excess moisture from the ear canal, reducing infection risk.

• Prevents swimmer’s ear
• removes excess moisture
• safe spray system

Bikur Cholim Hospital, Israel, 2012, Preliminary Clinical Study

A study on 40 patients found that OticGuard Spray reduced ear discomfort, pain, and wax buildup. Participants reported noticeable symptom relief after three days of regular use.

• Relieves ear pain
• reduces wax buildup
• fast-acting

Seyedeh Farzaneh Omidkhoda, Iran, 2022, Review Study

This literature review analyzes clinical trials on saffron’s effects on various disorders. Findings suggest saffron is beneficial for depression, macular degeneration, and allergic asthma. However, its effects on cognitive and metabolic disorders require further research.

• Helps with depression
• supports eye health
• reduces allergy symptoms

Heather A. Hausenblas, USA, 2017, Randomized Controlled Trials Review

A review of 12 RCTs found saffron effective for improving symptoms of depression, premenstrual syndrome, sexual dysfunction, and appetite control. It suggests saffron may be a natural alternative to pharmaceutical antidepressants.

• Supports mental health
• aids in weight management
• improves sexual function

Hilario Blasco-Fontecilla, Spain, 2021, Clinical Study

A non-randomized trial compared saffron extract to methylphenidate for ADHD treatment. Results showed saffron improved hyperactivity symptoms as effectively as the drug but had fewer side effects.

• Improves ADHD symptoms
• fewer side effects than medication
• natural alternative

Dr. Michael Shechter, Israel, 2011, Clinical Study

This study evaluated the effectiveness of magnesium supplementation for preventing painful nocturnal leg cramps in aging individuals. The research found that daily use of magnesium significantly reduced cramp frequency and improved sleep quality in elderly patients, particularly those taking diuretics.

• Reduces leg cramps
• improves sleep
• supports heart health

EFSA, European Union, 2014, Scientific Review

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) confirmed that magnesium contributes to muscle function, nervous system health, and reduced fatigue. The study also links magnesium to improved cognitive function and psychological well-being.

• Supports brain function
• reduces fatigue
• improves muscle contraction

Dr. Michael Shechter, Israel & USA, 2012, Laboratory Study

This study examined the clinical impact of two magnesium forms: citrate and oxide monohydrate. Despite theoretical differences in absorption, the oxide monohydrate group showed significantly better results in key health markers—boosting intracellular magnesium levels, lowering inflammation (hs-CRP), and improving cholesterol profiles.

• Supports healthy intracellular magnesium levels
• Reduces inflammation
• Supports heart health

Olha Barna et al., Ukraine, 2021, Clinical Trial

A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial tested the effectiveness of magnesium oxide monohydrate for nocturnal leg cramps (NLC). Results showed significant reduction in cramp episodes and improved sleep quality compared to placebo.

• Reduces leg cramps
• improves sleep
• placebo-controlled study

NHANES Study, USA, 1999-2000, Population Study

This large-scale study found that 68% of Americans consume less magnesium than recommended. Deficiency was linked to increased inflammation, higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and poor bone health.

• Prevents heart disease
• reduces inflammation
• essential for bone health
