Research (primarily in animal models) has shown potential effects such as: Supporting soft tissue repair (muscle, tendon, ligament) Promoting angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) Supporting gastrointestinal integrity and mucosal protection Modulating inflammatory responses While these findings are promising, clinical research in humans remains limited, and results should be interpreted with caution
Linkage between the cecal microbiome and adipose tissue metabolome The relative abundance of a large number of microbial genera correlated with EWAT metabolite abundances
In those patients, addressing the underlying metabolic dysfunction first, through dietary intervention, GLP-1 therapy if indicated, or NAD+ support for cellular energy metabolism, is the clinical priority
Similarly, with magnesium and other nutrients primarily stored in tissue, serum and plasma levels can remain "normal" even when tissue levels are low
