(Reuters) - Between 550,000 and 1.4 million people in West Africa could be infected with the Ebola virus by January 20, 2015, according to a study published on Tuesday by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  
The top range of the estimate, 1.4 million, assumes that the number of cases, 5,864 according to the count kept by the World Health Organization, is significantly underreported, and that it is likely that 2.5 times as many cases, or about 15,000, have in fact occurred.

10 Best NMN Supplements (2026 Review)

By
Image
On September 29, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reversed its previous stance and confirmed that nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can be legally sold as a dietary supplement in the United States . This decision follows a period of regulatory uncertainty and effectively restores NMN's legal status as a supplement. NMN is one of the most popular supplements in the anti aging community. NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide and is a precursor to NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NMN is the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells. NAD+ is a critical molecule found in every cell of your body, but levels of NAD+ naturally fall with age, making it — and NMN, as a result — crucial. As per MRFR analysis , the Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Market Size was estimated at 3.51(USD Billion) in 2024. The Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotid...

18 Best Supplements to Reduce Cytokine Storm: Advanced Guide

By
Image
As of May 2024, there are more than 4,000 early treatment studies  that have been published and shared with the whole world. New ones are being added every day.  This is a review of the literature, covering multiple observational studies, randomized controlled trials and references related to natural supplements and cytokine storm with more than 300 studies and references. We know that while a large percentage of the population only experiences mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and won’t require hospitalization, others experience severe symptoms and complications, require hospitalization, or may even die.  It appears one of the differences between those who have a mild illness and severe illness is related to the body's ability to reduce the hyperimmune response that leads to a cytokine storm and the hyper-coagulability (tendency for blood clots) that often accompanies it. The cytokine storm may be one possible way to ex...

6 Best Phytonutrients Supplements: Review 2026

By

Vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients like proteins, carbs, and fats are not the same as phytonutrients. They can be found in a variety of fruits, vegetables, spices, and even edible flowers.  Phytochemicals serve as pollination attractants or as defenses against pest and insect attacks and other stresses, like as ultraviolet light. Moreover, phytochemicals also contribute to color or aroma of the foods and are recognized to have potential benefits for human health and nutrition. Foods rich in phytochemicals are frequently quite colorful, but these nutrients are also rich in some white foods for example olive oil, onions, and garlic.  Phytonutrients Benefits Some of the important bioactive phytonutrients include polyphenols, terpenoids, resveratrol, flavonoids, isoflavonoids, carotenoids, limonoids, glucosinolates, phytoestrogens, phytosterols, anthocyanins, ω-3 fatty acids, and probiotics.

Stem Cell Therapy: What It Is, What It Can (and Can't) Do (2026)

By
Image
Your body is quietly running a repair operation right now. Old cells die, damaged tissues signal for help, and specialised cells migrate to where they're needed. Stem cell therapy is built on a single ambitious idea: that we can harness — and supercharge — that process. It sounds almost too good to be true. And depending on who's selling it, it sometimes is. The global stem cell therapy market is valued at roughly $20 billion in 2026 and is projected to nearly triple by 2036. Thousands of private clinics now offer treatments for everything from arthritic knees to Parkinson's disease. Yet the science supporting most of those treatments is still catching up. Understanding what stem cells genuinely can and cannot do may be the most important thing you read before making a decision about your health. What Are Stem Cells? Stem cells are the body's raw material — undifferentiated cells that can divide and develop into more specialised cell types. A stem cell in bone marrow mi...
