Vitamine C 1000 mg : dosage, formule et précautions — couverture du journal NovAging
Vitamin C 1000 mg: understanding the amount, formula and precautions
1000 mg is the amount of vitamin C per capsule in this formula, not a universal requirement. Check the daily serving, other supplements and precautions before use. Read more...
Multivitamines : comment comparer les formules — couverture du journal NovAging
Multivitamins, magnesium, zinc and CoQ10: how to compare formulas
Compare nutrient amounts per daily serving and check the supplements you already use before choosing a multivitamin. The number of ingredients alone does not establish its suitability. Read more...
Mélatonine, valériane et passiflore : lire une formule sommeil — couverture du journal NovAging
Melatonin, valerian and passionflower: reading a sleep formula
Compare sleep formulas by their composition, serving information and precautions, rather than the number of ingredients. This guide explains how to read a label without confusing an amount per capsule... Read more...
Comparaison du magnésium bisglycinate, citrate et oxyde
Magnesium bisglycinate, citrate or oxide: which form should you choose?
Bisglycinate, citrate and oxide are different magnesium forms, with no universal winner. First compare the elemental magnesium supplied daily, rather than the compound’s weight. Absorption, digestive tolerance, other ingredients and... Read more...
Magnésium bisglycinate et analyse des études sur le sommeil
Magnesium bisglycinate and sleep: what does the evidence really show?
Magnesium bisglycinate is not a sleeping pill. The evidence discussed includes a short trial using self-reported sleep, which cannot guarantee an individual effect. Persistent or severe difficulties warrant medical assessment... Read more...
Illustration éditoriale NovAging comparant le curcuma, la curcumine et un extrait standardisé en curcuminoïdes
Turmeric vs curcumin: what is the difference, and what does 95% curcuminoids mean?
Turmeric is the plant; curcumin is one of the compounds grouped as curcuminoids. An extract standardised to 95% curcuminoids therefore does not contain 95% pure curcumin. That percentage measures neither... Read more...
Curcuma et grains de poivre noir illustrant l’absorption de la curcumine
Turmeric and black pepper: does piperine really improve absorption?
The 2,000% figure often associated with piperine describes curcumin exposure in a small study, not a twentyfold increase in clinical effectiveness. Findings depend on formulation and study design. Check amounts... Read more...
Glucosamine, chondroïtine et MSM comparés selon leur composition et les études
Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM: differences and evidence
Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM are different substances; sharing a formula does not make them interchangeable. Studies differ in preparations and participants, with more limited evidence for MSM. Compare individual ingredients... Read more...
Routine matin et soir pour prendre un complexe articulations pendant 60 jours
Joint complex: when should you take it and for how long?
Articulations Complex directions specify two capsules daily, one with breakfast and one with dinner: 120 capsules provide 60 days. This describes pack duration, not a guaranteed time to benefit. Follow... Read more...
Association de collagène marin, acide hyaluronique et vitamine C expliquée avec prudence
Marine collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C: why combine them?
Combining marine collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C describes a composition, not a proven synergy. Compare amounts, studied forms and precautions, including fish allergy. Results obtained with a different formula... Read more...
Collagène marin et analyse prudente de ses bienfaits selon les études
Marine collagen: benefits, evidence and limitations
Marine collagen studies do not all examine the same hydrolysate, amount or duration. Study quality and funding also matter. A result observed with one preparation therefore cannot support a promise... Read more...
Illustration NovAging expliquant le pourcentage et les milligrammes de withanolides dans l’ashwagandha
Withanolides in Ashwagandha: What Do 5% and 30 mg Mean?
On a label, 5% is a concentration and 30 mg an amount. For example, 600 mg of an extract standardised to 5% theoretically supplies 30 mg of withanolides. Check whether... Read more...
Illustration éditoriale NovAging consacrée aux bienfaits et aux limites de l’ashwagandha
Ashwagandha: Benefits, Effects and Limits of the Evidence
Ashwagandha studies use different extracts, doses and populations, often over short periods. Their findings cannot automatically be applied to every bottle. Check the plant part, standardisation and precautions; ashwagandha should... Read more...
Comparatif entre fisétine liposomale et fisétine classique
Liposomal or standard fisetin: what is the difference?
Liposomal describes a fisetin formulation, not a different molecule. It does not automatically prove better effectiveness in humans or equivalence at a lower dose. Check the actual daily fisetin amount,... Read more...
Schéma éditorial sur les mitochondries et l’énergie cellulaire
Mitochondria and cellular energy: how do they work?
Mitochondria convert energy from nutrients into ATP and also participate in cell signalling. They are not simply batteries that a supplement instantly recharges. Physical activity, sleep and nutrient availability are... Read more...
Guide sur la durée de prise d’un complément alimentaire
How long should you take a dietary supplement?

Comparatif entre resvératrol et fisétine
Resveratrol and fisetin: differences and complementarity
Resveratrol and fisetin are distinct polyphenols: the former is a stilbene, the latter a flavonoid. Human evidence is particularly limited for fisetin. Supposed complementary mechanisms do not establish the value... Read more...
Association de berbérine et d’acide alpha-lipoïque ALA
Berberine and alpha-lipoic acid: can you combine them?
Combining berberine and alpha-lipoic acid is not automatically more useful than taking one product. Different mechanisms do not prove an additional benefit, and interactions may complicate monitoring. Check total amounts... Read more...
Méthode pour éviter les doublons dans une routine de compléments
How to build a supplement routine without duplicates
To identify overlaps, list the ingredients in every supplement and calculate their amounts for the actual daily serving. Add up shared ingredients even when products target different goals. Magnesium, zinc... Read more...
Guide pratique sur le moment de prise de la fisétine
Fisetin: when should you take it, with or without food?

Comparatif entre acide alpha-lipoïque ALA et R-ALA
Alpha-lipoic acid or R-ALA: what is the difference?
Conventional ALA generally combines the R and S forms, while R-ALA contains the R form. This compositional difference does not guarantee a better result. Compare the exact form, stability, amount... Read more...

Berbérine : quand la prendre avant, pendant ou après les repas
Berberine: When to Take It—Before, With or After Meals?

Vitamine D3 + K2 : quand les prendre, avec ou sans repas, matin ou soir ?
Vitamin D3 + K2: When to Take Them, With or Without Food, Morning or Evening?

CoQ10 : quand la prendre, avec ou sans repas, matin ou soir ?
CoQ10: When Should You Take It, With Food, Morning or Evening?
