An expert panel has recently produced a white paper1 with a set of recommendations regarding the diet and micronutrient supplement needs of the Swiss and wider European population, in order to support a well-functioning immune system for optimal health.
The white paper states that, in recent publications, recommendations were made for nutrients to support well-functioning immune system in the general and healthy population. The paper particularly highlights the role of Vitamin D.
The document mentions Vitamin D levels are frequently suboptimal, inadequate or deficient, likely due to reduced exposure to sunlight and synthesis in the skin and that Vitamin D deficiency or inadequacy is associated with a general dysregulation of the innate and adaptive immune system as well as increased levels of inflammation.

A long-awaited meta-analysis has been recently published (September 17, 2020) and correlates increased Omega-3 oral intakes to positive cardiovascular benefits. A total of 40 studies combining 135,267 participants, were included in the analysis.
The article, which was published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, found that EPA/DHA supplementation was associated with the following major reductions in cardiovascular outcomes: 35% reduced risk of fatal myocardial infarction (MI), 13% reduced risk of MI, 10% reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) events, 9% reduced risk of CHD mortality and 5% reduction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) event.
More importantly, there was a protective effect when increasing the dosage. An additional one gram per day of EPA + DHA resulted in an additional, statistically significant, 9% reduction in the risk of MI and 5.8% reduction in the risk of CVD events.

Proprietary Bacognize® Extract is a scientifically researched, natural standardized formula derived from Bacopa monnieri known to promote cognitive function, cognitive acuity, focus without stimulating side effects, and working memory.
Bacopa is a low-lying perennial succulent plant known to filter toxins from its surrounding environment. This water-loving herb grows in ponds, tidal lands, and wetlands in the tropical climates of Southern and Eastern India, Australia, Europe, Africa, Asia, Sri Lanka, and North and South America.
A majority of Bacopa in India is grown in the rice paddy fields of Eastern and North-Eastern India after the rice crop harvest, where the soil is known to have trace residue of agricultural herbicides and pesticides commonly used in rice agriculture and harvest, which has the potential to contaminate the botanical. Moreover, traditional open drying practices are not controlled to protect the Bacopa crop from possible fungal growth during storage that may also lead to contamination.

Iodine status in pregnant and post-partum women is insufficient according to a new Norwegian study, which reveals it takes around 18 months before levels reach adequate levels achieved in pregnancy.
The new study found iodine status at its lowest in women six weeks post-partum, with milk and iodine supplements proving effective at raising iodine levels. For more about this article click here
Despite the essential nature of the nutrient, several studies show deficiency across European populations generally, and with pregnant women specifically. Alongside the Norwegian research, which highlights insufficient iodine status in the 416 women part of the study, there is also a study published in The Lancet, which states that 62% of pregnant women in the UK are deficient in iodine.

Postbiotics are functional compounds, generated in a matrix during fermentation, which may be used to promote health. The term postbiotics can be considered an umbrella term for synonyms and related terms of microbial fermentation components1. EpiCor® is a whole food fermentate, a postbiotic ingredient clinically shown to support the immune system and modulate and benefit the gut microbiota.
Talking about the role of postbiotics and gut health, in an interview to Nutritional Outlook Dr Justin Green Ph.D., Director of Scientific Affairs at Embria Health Sciences, explained: “Consumers are always looking for better ways to support their gut. And postbiotics don’t add more bugs to your system, they simply support the bacteria that you currently have, so we’re building on the story of the microbiome. The microbiome is something that scientists and consumers are interested in. Now, with postbiotics, they have a new option to support their gut with no side effects and additional health benefits such as immune strength”.
