(Natural News) A string of exploding stars might have caused at least one mass extinction event 365 million years ago, suggests a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Multiple supernovae depleted the ozone layer for a long period of time which increased the amount of radiation that entered Earth. As a result, several […]

The compounds Y27632 and apocynin may help in this regard by increasing collagen 17 levels. Collagen plays a major role in maintaining a healthy […]

(Natural News) Researchers at Oregon State University have found a natural way to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun. In a study that was published in the Frontiers in Pharmacology, they identified a crop called meadowfoam to contain a group of compounds called glucosinolates known for their anti-cancer and sunlight-protectant properties. Meadowfoam, a plant native to […]
