Innophos is the exclusive licensed distributor of Oxyjun® in North America

Cardiac health is of the utmost importance for today’s consumers, and we are excited about the beneficial findings of Oxyjun® from this study.

Innophos, a leading international producer of nutritional specialty ingredients and custom formulated solutions, today announced the release of new clinical findings from ENovate Biolife highlighting Oxyjun®, a premium branded extract of Terminalia arjuna. Extracted from the bark of the Arjuna tree, Terminalia arjuna has traditionally been used for cardio protection purposes. The findings from this latest human clinical trial demonstrate advanced benefits in the areas of cardiac output and perceived reduction in physical fatigue in study subjects.

“Cardiac health is of the utmost importance for today’s consumers, and we are excited about the beneficial findings of Oxyjun® from this study,” said Dr. Bruce Abedon, R&D Senior Manager at Innophos and co-author of the study. “As the exclusive licensed distributor of Oxyjun® in North America, our team at Innophos is committed to providing the highest quality, science-backed products, and continuing our partnership with ENovate Biolife.”

The new study, published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Multidisciplinary Health, featured 72 male and female subjects ranging in age from 30-70 years old that took 400 mg of Oxyjun® daily for 56 days. Subjects were evaluated on both cardiac output based on left ventricular ejection fraction (the volume of blood flowing from the heart to the body with each beat) as well as their perceived level of physical fatigue based on a validated, multi-question Fatigue Severity Scale instrument.

Consumption of Oxyjun® resulted in numerous improvements in the health of subjects including:

  • 6.28% increase in cardiac output (vs. 0.24% for placebo)
  • 22.5% perceived reduction in physical fatigue (vs. 8.5% for placebo)
  • No adverse events related to consumption of Oxyjun® for any of the study participants

How to Set Up Clinical Trial Patients for Success, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks

[ad_1]

“Patient Centricity” has become an industry buzz word that has been touted as the solution to help address some of these issues, but what does it actually look like in practice?

Patients (and their families) are at the heart of clinical research — without them there is no trial. Therefore, putting patients first should be critical within a clinical trial process. Yet 85 percent of all clinical trials fail to recruit enough patients and dropout rates are at all-time highs. Currently 80 percent of trials are delayed due to these challenges.

“Patient Centricity” has become an industry buzz word that has been touted as the solution to help address some of these issues, but what does it actually look like in practice? How is it being implemented and where are the opportunities for improvement across all stakeholders — sponsors, CROs and sites?

In this webinar, featured speakers from Aldyera and ClinOne will share: Observations and trends on how the clinical trial industry is evolving to set patients up for success; Practical strategies for incorporating patient voice into the design and execution of clinical studies; Insights on how to actively listen to sites and patients in order to build trust and mutual respect; And advice on identifying technology vendors that truly make the trial easier for patients and sites.

Join this webinar to hear diverse perspectives on how to inject compassion into a study, starting with protocol design and continuing with engagement throughout the course of the trial — putting patients first, setting them up for success and reducing dropout rates.

Join Andrea Valente, CEO, ClinOne; and Adrienne Gaggi, Associate Director Clinical Development, Aldeyra, for the live webinar on Tuesday, January 31, 2023, at 11am EST (4pm GMT/UK).

Protect Environmental Releases Inaugural National Radon Risk Index™

[ad_1]

Protect Environmental releases National Radon Risk Index™
Using a dataset representing more than 2.5 million data points, Protect Environmental ranks communities most at risk of exposure to the radioactive cancer-causing gas radon.

Protect Environmental ranks communities most at risk of exposure to the radioactive cancer-causing gas radon.

In support of National Radon Action Month, Protect Environmental releases a National Radon Risk Index™ representing more than 2.5 million data points from the CDC and as well as Protect Environmental’s own internal testing data to rank communities across the U.S. with the highest radon risk.

In conjunction with the launch earlier this week of its interactive National Radon Risk Search™ tool, Protect Environmental announced today the release of its inaugural National Radon Risk Index™. The index pulls from the company’s comprehensive database of radon test results, which represents more than 2.5 million data points compiled from sources, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as Protect Environmental’s own internal testing data, to rank communities across the United States according to their radon risk. The index, which will be updated and published each January in support of National Radon Action Month, ranks communities using the following data points: (1) highest radon level recorded in a building tested within the community; (2) average radon level of all buildings tested within the community; (3) percentage of buildings tested with a radon level above the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) action level of 4.0 pCi/L, within the community; and, (4) highest and lowest percentages of residential buildings characterized for radon risk within the community. The interactive search tool and index are designed to empower communities with vital information to understand the impact of radon in the places where community members live, work, and learn, as well as to assist policymakers with efforts to protect their communities from unsafe exposure to radioactive, cancer-causing radon.

Radon is a naturally occurring colorless, odorless, tasteless, radioactive gas that derives from the breakdown of Uranium. According to the EPA, exposure to the gas is responsible for the deaths of more than 21,000 persons in the United States each year, making it the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, second overall to smoking for all lung cancer incidents. Radon migrates into buildings through preferential pathways, such as gaps, cracks, and crevices in the building foundation, where it can accumulate in unsafe levels. The only way to know if the occupants of a building are at risk is to test the building. If a problem exists, occupant exposure can be mitigated using effective, efficient, and economical construction methods.

The National Radon Risk Index provides the following insights into radon risk within communities across the United States:

  • Highest radon level recorded in a building tested within the community: 7,879.3 pCi/L (Dallas County, TX)
  • Highest average radon level of all buildings tested within the community: 53.8 pCi/L (Hinsdale County, CO)
  • Highest percentage of buildings tested within the community with a radon level above the EPA’s action level of 4.0 pCi/L: 93.8% (Roosevelt County, MT)
  • Highest percentage of residential buildings characterized for radon risk within the community: 10.974% (Johnson County, IA)
  • Lowest percentage of residential buildings characterized for radon risk within the community: 0.003% (Hidalgo County, TX)

The full rankings contained within the index are available on the company’s blog, The Green Scene. To better understand radon risk in communities across the United States, use the Protect Environmental National Radon Risk Search tool.
