Vitamin B12 supplement bottle
Chinese researchers have developed a new fluorescent sensor that could present a simpler alternative to measuring vitamin B12 in food through laboratory tests. The scientists at Liaocheng University propose that this new method could be adapted to a simple paper strip or cotton swab. The team notes that the most common measuring techniques, including chromatography and electrochemical analysis, often require complex instruments, lengthy sample handling, or precise conditions. Many fluorescence probes also remain tied to laboratory spectrometers.
Lab studies link Pharmactive’s Csat carob to GLP-1 release and SCFA production
Carob fruit and powder
In vitro studies suggest that Csat, a whole-fruit carob ingredient produced by Pharmactive Biotech Products, boosts the production of beneficial short chain fatty acids (SCFA) by gut bacteria. These compounds may help people feel more satiated through enteroendocrine signaling, according to the findings. Pharmactive produces Csat through a proprietary process that harnesses key bioactive compounds from both the seed and pulp. The ingredient is standardized in fibers and polyphenols, including galactomannans (≥20 %), inositols (≥5 %), and gallic acid (≥0.1 %).
