Bohemia, N.Y. – September 18, 2026 -- Vitafusion has launched Vital NMN Gummies, a Tropical Glow-flavored supplement delivering 300 mg of Vital NMN Bioactive Nucleotide per day to support NAD+ levels, cellular health and vitality.

The product marks the brand's first major innovation since joining the Piping Rock Health Products family and arrives alongside a TikTok-first marketing push called "Aging? Love It."

NMN targets NAD+ decline linked to aging

NMN acts as a precursor to NAD+, a molecule found in nearly every cell that plays a role in cellular energy production. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and NMN has become a widely discussed ingredient among wellness consumers seeking to address that drop.

Los Angeles – September 15, 2026 -- Perelel's Triple-Support Protein is now available at more than 65 Bluestone Lane cafés across the country, starting with a limited-time Pumpkin Chai fall collection.

The rollout marks the start of a year-long national partnership between the OB/GYN-founded women's health brand and the New York-based café chain, launched today.

The formula combines protein, creatine, and prebiotic fiber in one drink

Each serving of Triple-Support Protein delivers 20g of plant-based protein, 3g of creatine monohydrate, and 5g of low-FODMAP prebiotic fiber. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, the product was shown to support stable blood sugar, healthy cholesterol metabolism, memory, and feelings of fullness over four weeks of daily use compared to a placebo.

Hanover, Pa. – September 12, 2026 -- Hanover Foods Corp. has launched a new frozen vegetable line called Skinny Veg, aimed at consumers taking GLP-1 weight-loss medications who often need smaller, nutrient-dense portions.

The line includes four blended vegetable-and-grain sides: Broccoli & Quinoa, Brussels Sprouts & Couscous, Spinach & Blackeye Peas, and Riced Cauliflower & Lentils. Each product contains just five ingredients -- one vegetable, one grain or legume, avocado oil, pepper and sea salt -- with no additives or preservatives.

Tempe, Arizona – September 11, 2026 -- Nootropics Depot has launched SulfoMax, a powdered sulforaphane supplement designed to fix a chemistry problem the company says undermines standard capsule versions of the compound.

Sulforaphane, a compound studied for its role in cellular defense and cognitive resilience, is too unstable to bottle directly. Most supplements instead combine glucoraphanin, a stable precursor, with the enzyme myrosinase inside a capsule, relying on the two to react after swallowing.

Lab testing found stomach acid disables the key enzyme

Nootropics Depot's analytical lab ran that reaction through a Distek dissolution tester using simulated gastric fluid. At stomach-acid pH, myrosinase was largely inactivated, meaning much of the precursor in a conventional capsule can pass through the body without converting into active sulforaphane.

Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- ODYSS, winner of the IFA Innovation Award 2026, has unveiled the N1, an AI-powered necklace designed to automatically track eating habits and eliminate manual food logging.

The necklace detects eating without any typing or photos

The ODYSS N1 uses a G-sensor and contact sensors to detect when it's being worn, while a wide-angle camera captures visual food cues and hand-to-mouth movements to identify eating behavior in real time. Unlike smartwatches, which track calories burned but not consumed, the device is built specifically to capture dietary intake data that has long been missing from personal health tracking.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 8, 2025 – High-protein diets are everywhere right now, from social media trends to supermarket shelves lined with shakes and snack bars. One in three Americans say they’ve increased their protein intake in the past year, and “high protein diet” has been the most-followed eating pattern for three years running. Yet most people still aren’t sure how much protein they actually need each day – or what a safe high-protein diet really looks like.

Why Protein Matters More as You Get Older

Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders. It’s a core building block for your muscles and plays a big role in staying strong, mobile and independent as you age. That’s especially important for older adults dealing with sarcopenia – the gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function.
