Several small randomised trials suggest that standardised ashwagandha root extracts can lower self-reported stress and anxiety over six to eight weeks. Th... - [What is silymarin and what does it do?](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/what-is-silymarin): Silymarin is a group of plant compounds extracted from the seeds of milk thistle. It has been studied extensively in liver research. In a well designed trial in fatty liver disease it did not improve... - [Is fatty liver reversible?](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/is-fatty-liver-reversible): Often, yes. Fat in the liver responds well to weight loss, more activity and less sugar and alcohol. In one well known study, people who lost 10 per cent of their body weight saw the liver inflammatio... - [What causes neuropathy?](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/what-causes-neuropathy): Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the long nerves that run to the hands and feet. The most common cause is diabetes. Low vitamin B12, alcohol, some medicines, thyroid disease and certain infections a... - [What does vitamin B12 do?](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/what-does-vitamin-b12-do): Vitamin B12 keeps nerves healthy, helps make red blood cells and is needed to copy DNA. The body cannot make it, and it is found almost only in animal foods, so vegetarians, older adults and people ta... - [What does too little sleep do to the body?](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/what-does-sleep-deprivation-do): In the short term, poor sleep affects mood, concentration, appetite and blood sugar. Over many years, regularly sleeping too little is linked with a higher risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and... - [Do I need a vitamin D supplement?](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/do-i-need-a-vitamin-d-supplement): Only if you are low, or at risk of being low. A very large trial found that giving vitamin D to generally healthy adults who were not deficient did not reduce fractures. For people who are deficient,... - [Why is turmeric often paired with black pepper?](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/why-turmeric-with-black-pepper): Because curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, is poorly absorbed on its own. Piperine from black pepper slows the way the body breaks curcumin down, so more of it reaches the blood. It is a good... - [Natural means completely safe](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/natural-means-safe): Not true. Natural substances can have strong effects on the body, which is why they can help, and also why they can harm. In India, herbal and alternative medicines were the second most common cause o... - [If a little is good, more must be better](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/more-is-better): Usually not. For most nutrients and medicines, benefit levels off once a need is met, while side effects keep rising. In one trial of alpha lipoic acid, three times the dose gave no extra relief but m... - [Only people who drink alcohol get fatty liver](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/fatty-liver-is-only-for-drinkers): Not true. The most common form of fatty liver is not caused by alcohol. It is linked with weight around the waist, blood sugar and diet, and it affects roughly one in three Indian adults, including ma... - [Calcium alone builds strong bones](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/calcium-alone-builds-strong-bones): Calcium is the raw material, but bone strength depends on much more: vitamin D to absorb it, vitamin K2 and protein to build it into bone, hormones and, above all, weight-bearing activity that tells b... - [What is bioavailability?](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/what-is-bioavailability): Bioavailability is the share of a dose that actually reaches your bloodstream in a usable form. Two products with the same amount on the label can deliver very different amounts to the body, depending... - [What is oxidative stress?](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/what-is-oxidative-stress): Oxidative stress is an imbalance between reactive molecules, often called free radicals, and the body's ability to neutralise them. A little is normal and even useful. Too much, for too long, can dama... - [How we grade evidence](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/how-we-grade-evidence): Not all research is equal. A laboratory finding is a clue, an observation in people is a pattern, and a well designed randomised trial is a test. We show the type of evidence behind every claim, so yo... - [What is neuropathy?](https://thewellnezz.com/knowledge/what-is-neuropathy): Neuropathy means damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It usually starts in the feet with tingling, numbness or burning, and it is most often caused by diabetes or low vitamin B12. ## Evidence library - [Ashwagandha root extract and perceived stress in adults](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/ashwagandha-stress-chandrasekhar-2012): Randomised controlled trial, Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine 2012. - [Ashwagandha for stress and anxiety: a meta-analysis of randomised trials](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/ashwagandha-meta-analysis-akhgarjand-2022): Systematic review and meta-analysis, Phytotherapy Research 2022. - [Liver injury associated with ashwagandha supplements](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/ashwagandha-liver-injury-bjornsson-2020): Case series, Liver International 2020. - [Silymarin in biopsy-proven non-alcoholic steatohepatitis](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/silymarin-nash-chan-2017): Randomised controlled trial, Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2017. - [Lifestyle weight loss and liver histology in NASH](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/weight-loss-nash-vilar-gomez-2015): Observational study, Gastroenterology 2015. - [Vitamin E or pioglitazone for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (PIVENS)](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/vitamin-e-nash-pivens-2010): Randomised controlled trial, New England Journal of Medicine 2010. - [Long-term benfotiamine in type 1 diabetes](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/benfotiamine-type-1-fraser-2012): Randomised controlled trial, Diabetes Care 2012. - [Oral alpha lipoic acid for symptomatic diabetic neuropathy (SYDNEY 2)](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/alpha-lipoic-acid-sydney-2-2006): Randomised controlled trial, Diabetes Care 2006. - [Four years of alpha lipoic acid in diabetic neuropathy (NATHAN 1)](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/alpha-lipoic-acid-nathan-1-2011): Randomised controlled trial, Diabetes Care 2011. - [Long-term metformin use and vitamin B12 deficiency](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/metformin-b12-aroda-2016): Randomised controlled trial, Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism 2016. - [Piperine and the absorption of curcumin](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/curcumin-piperine-shoba-1998): Pharmacokinetic study, Planta Medica 1998. - [Vitamin D3 and fractures in generally healthy adults (VITAL)](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/vitamin-d-fractures-vital-2022): Randomised controlled trial, New England Journal of Medicine 2022. - [Menaquinone-7 and bone loss after menopause](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/vitamin-k2-bone-knapen-2013): Randomised controlled trial, Osteoporosis International 2013. - [Liver injury after herbal immune boosters during the pandemic](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/giloy-liver-injury-nagral-2021): Case series, Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hepatology 2021. - [Sleep duration and mortality: a meta-analysis of prospective studies](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/sleep-duration-mortality-cappuccio-2010): Systematic review and meta-analysis, Sleep 2010. - [Melatonin for the prevention and treatment of jet lag](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/melatonin-jet-lag-cochrane-2002): Systematic review and meta-analysis, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2002. - [Causes of drug-induced liver injury in India](https://thewellnezz.com/evidence/drug-induced-liver-injury-india-devarbhavi-2021): Observational study, Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hepatology 2021. ## Body systems - [Liver](https://thewellnezz.com/body/liver): How the liver works, what can harm it, the tests doctors use and how to look after it. - [Digestion](https://thewellnezz.com/body/digestion): How digestion works, common problems, warning signs and everyday care for the gut. - [Nerves](https://thewellnezz.com/body/nerves): Peripheral nerves, the common causes of neuropathy and how to protect your nerves. - [Bones](https://thewellnezz.com/body/bones): How bones stay strong, who is at risk of bone loss and what helps at every age. - [Joints and muscles](https://thewellnezz.com/body/joints): Everyday aches, arthritis and how to keep joints and muscles working well. - [Women's health](https://thewellnezz.com/body/womens-health): Menstrual health, intimate health, anaemia and care through pregnancy and menopause. - [Kidneys](https://thewellnezz.com/body/kidneys): How the kidneys work, kidney stones and the tests that check kidney health. - [Skin](https://thewellnezz.com/body/skin): Pigmentation, sun protection and caring for the skin barrier. - [Vitality and immunity](https://thewellnezz.com/body/vitality): Sleep, energy, stress and the routine checks that matter for overall health. ## Products - [Ceptomin](https://thewellnezz.com/products/ceptomin): Nutraceutical.
