Embark Behavioral Health Inaugural Outcomes Report Shows Clients Experience Reduced Anxiety and Depression, Improved Well-Being

Leave a comment


“This report demonstrates that the evidence-based Embark Behavioral Health treatment approach is effective for decreasing anxiety, depression, and distress associated with the high rates of suicide while increasing healthy development and well-being,” said Embark Behavioral Health Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Rob Gent, who has a doctorate in psychology. “This report additionally highlights the use of validated measurement tools and surveys to not only measure progress over time but also to accurately inform treatment in real time to optimize clients’ results, which is a key differentiator of Embark.”

The outcomes report offers a plethora of valuable data about how Embark is helping its clients and their families heal.

Suicide Risk
Upon admission in 2022, 52% of clients reported some thoughts of suicide. At discharge, the average client reported no thoughts of suicide.

Long-Term Residential Treatment
Long-term residential clients and parents reported a high level of improvement in daily functioning and lower distress. They indicated similar progress for anxiety and depression symptoms. Specific findings include:

  • At discharge, 89% of clients experienced improved family functioning.
  • At discharge, 72% of clients reported improved depression symptoms, with the average client experiencing a 44% decrease from admit to discharge.
  • At 180 days post-discharge, 71% of clients reported less distress.

Short-term residential clients saw an immediate improvement in anxiety, depression, overall functioning, and relationships. Specific findings include:

  • At discharge, 75% of clients experienced improved family distress.
  • At discharge, 80% of clients experienced improved depression symptoms, with the average client reporting a 49% decrease.
  • Upon discharge, 83% of clients reported less distress.

  • After discharging, 73% of clients reported less distress.
  • Regarding depression, 77% of clients reduced their depression symptoms.
  • At discharge, 81% of outpatient clients experienced a reduction in anxiety.

Future Research Directions
Moving forward, Embark will continue researching post-discharge treatment effectiveness for up to two years after treatment. To improve holistic health, the company is examining the relationship between several biological functions (sleep, nutrition, exercise, and heart rate variability) and relational and emotional health. The goal is to contribute to the scientific understanding of how these functions can improve overall well-being.

Pioneering Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Demonstrates Exceptional Musculoskeletal Advantages of TurmXTRA™

Leave a comment


While curcumin and turmeric are amongst the most commonly used natural ingredients for joint health, the data on its effect on muscle health is conflicting. Additionally, the effective dose required to maintain the functionality of joints and muscles is equally important, as convenient daily dosing is shown to be associated with better compliance which provides consistent health benefits, resulting in higher consumer satisfaction.

This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) is intended to evaluate the effective dose, safety, and efficacy of commercial turmeric extract and curcumin supplements in musculoskeletal health. The research team performed a systematic literature search of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library databases and conducted a meta-analysis according to PRISMA guidelines. The research team analyzed 21 prospective, randomized clinical studies, of which seven studies were focused on skeletal muscle health and fourteen on joint health.

The studies concluded that turmeric extract and curcumin supplements can be effective adjuvants for the management of musculoskeletal health, with a low incidence of AEs. The water-dispersible turmeric extract, WDTE60N, at a dose of 250 mg per day, was found to be more effective than other curcumin products. The studies included in the analysis were conducted using diverse doses and treatment durations. Therefore, further evaluation using comparisons in future clinical trials can establish the appropriate, effective dose of curcumin supplements for the overall maintenance of musculoskeletal health.

“TurmXTRA continues to gain momentum with ongoing science and accolades in the industry,” says Rajat Mittal Shah, Co-founder and Executive Director of Nutriventia. “This meta-analysis shows overwhelming evidence of efficacy and safety for TurmXTRA and validates its benefits for the human musculoskeletal system against other market alternatives,” she adds. “TurmXTRA stands out from these products because of its optimized low dose formulation using natural source carriers and use of a simple and cost-effective solvent-free process.”

TurmXTRA has been awarded patents in the United States, the United Kingdom and India. These patents have been a priority in the innovation pipeline at Nutriventia and apply to the curcuminoid formulations exhibiting rapid dissolution and optimizing bioavailability from a low 250 mg once daily dose. TurmXTRA is also Clean Label Project certified, as it uses excipients obtained from natural sources and is derived from a solvent-free manufacturing process.

TurmXTRA has recently been lauded for its optimized bioavailability and clinical efficacy at a low 250mg dosage.

TurmXTRA® has received an award from Nutrition Industry Executive as first place winner in the Sports Nutrition category. It was also a finalist in the 2023 NutraIngredients-USA Awards in the sports nutrition category. With science-backed bioequivalence for curcuminoids delivery in plasma and a high 60% potency formulation, we are not surprised to see demonstrated efficacy at 250mg for TurmXTRA.
