Dissolvable strips let you take supplements without water. We look at whether that means better vitamin absorption and what evidence is needed to compare this new format with tablets.
The new drug Hibsago has helped some patients maintain control of hepatitis B after stopping treatment. We explain who it may be suitable for and why treatment can only be stopped under medical supervision.
In a two-year trial, DHA levels in cerebrospinal fluid increased, but memory did not improve. We explain why absorbing a supplement does not necessarily benefit the brain.
A personalized mRNA vaccine from Moderna and Merck improved outcomes for melanoma patients after surgery. We explain how it works and what a 42% reduction in the risk of recurrence or death means.
Smartwatches and rings can help you notice changes in sleep, heart rate, and temperature. We look at what this data can tell you about menopause symptoms–and how to use it without falling into anxious self-diagnosis.

Hormonal shifts were detected long before the final menstrual period. Why this cannot predict the date of an individual’s menopause—and which changes in the body deserve attention.
Does Diet Coke make it harder to lose weight, or can it replace some of your water? In a two-year study, beverages with sweeteners were no less effective than water for weight loss—but a sugar-free can doesn’t cancel out the habit of having a snack with it.
The label lists two forms of the same vitamin: D2 and D3. We explain why D3 tends to support levels for longer, when D2 makes sense, and who shouldn’t change their regimen without testing.
Wellness easily turns into a set of fashionable promises, so this section works differently: we look at what stands behind the loud headline. Sleep and recovery, nutrition, movement, biohacking and supplements are areas with plenty of research that is rarely retold carefully.
Our material examines which recommendations rest on data and which rest on a single study with twenty participants; how much movement the heart actually needs, what happens to the body during sleep deprivation, what regulators have genuinely approved. None of it replaces a doctor — but it helps you ask sharper questions.
