30 Peer-Reviewed Studies Highlight Statistically Significant Health Benefits of Almased
167% increase in GLP-1 production and a 358% increase in PYY production (a satiety-induced hormone produced in the intestine).
Both reviews synthesize 30 peer-reviewed clinical studies across three decades of scientific research, confirming that Almased is effective and safe for weight reduction, preservation of lean muscle mass, and cardiovascular health.
The 2025 review in the American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research highlighted Almased's efficacy and safety for wide groups of people including individuals seeking weight loss, those with metabolic syndrome or fatty liver, older adults needing to preserve muscle mass, and athletes or healthy-weight individuals who require additional high-quality protein.
This review also discusses how Almased's patented fermentation process produces over 80 bioactive peptides, including 2 times the average daily intake of spermidine. Spermidine is associated with benefits to longevity, cardiovascular health and brain health.
The paper states that 'during (Almased's) proteolytic enzyme procedure, bioactive and biogenic peptides, which were not detectable before in the raw materials, naturally occur. It can be assumed that the production process is significant in producing bioactive compounds responsible for unexpected positive effects on the metabolism, even in people who are not overweight'.
Other key findings in the 2022 review in Heliyon have shown:
167% increase in GLP-1 production and a 358% increase in PYY production (a satiety-induced hormone produced in the intestine) compared to consuming a standard American diet containing the same amount of calories by the same individuals (Oliveira et al. 2022)
Almased group lost 145% more weight than the control group (-13lbs vs. -5.3lbs) in 12 weeks. Fat loss was 181% more in the Almased group (-9.9 lbs) than in the control group (-3.52 lbs) over the same period of time despite comparable weights before the study (Röhling et al. 2020)
Almased plus resistance training increased muscle strength by 33% versus resistance training alone (Deibert et al 2010)
Waist circumference reduction 239% greater in the Almased group compared to a fat-reduced diet (2.4in vs. 0.7in) after 6 weeks. Fat mass loss was 82% greater in the Almased group compared to a fat-reduced diet (11.2lbs vs. 6.1lbs) after 6 weeks (König et al 2008)
A study on post-menopausal women saw a 62% reduction in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and significant fat loss without losing lean mass (Deibert et al. 2007)
Almased reduced liver fat content by an average of 56% and supports a healthy inflammatory response (Deibert et al 2019)
Almased preserved 100% muscle mass while losing weight (Deibert et al 2004)
Researchers found that Almased improves the fat burning process so you burn fat and calories more effectively (Oliveira et al 2021). In overweight and obese individuals, Almased meal replacement regimens resulted in greater reductions in body weight, body mass index (BMI), and fat mass compared to traditional low-calorie diets, while also improving glycemic control and lipid profiles.
Beyond weight management, the review highlights Almased's role in supporting healthy blood sugar levels in both prediabetic and type 2 diabetic individuals. This indicates Almased is safe for people with diabetes.
The review also notes Almased's unique anti-aging and wellness benefits. Regular use has been linked to healthy cell function, reduced stress markers, and better overall energy and mood. Almased's protein-rich formula, containing essential amino acids and bioactive peptides, supports muscle preservation, cellular health, and supports a healthy inflammatory response, contributing to improved quality of life and longevity.
'The results presented underscore the efficacy of the soy-yogurt-honey formula (Almased) in weight management and the improvement of obesity-associated cardiovascular disease and metabolic risk factors.' said the study's authors.

As Trump's raids ramp up, a Texas region's residents stay inside — even when they need medical care
WESLACO, Texas — These days, Juanita says a prayer every time she steps off the driveway of her modest rural home. The 41-year-old mother, who crossed into the United States from Mexico more than two decades ago and married an American carpenter, fears federal agents may be on the hunt for her. As she was about to leave for the pharmacy late last month, her husband called with a frantic warning: Immigration enforcement officers were swarming the store's parking lot. Juanita, who is prediabetic, skipped filling medications that treat her nutrient deficiencies. She also couldn't risk being detained because she has to care for her 17-year-old daughter, who has Down syndrome. 'If I am caught, who's going to help my daughter?' Juanita asks in Spanish, through an interpreter. Some people quoted in this story insisted that the Associated Press publish only their first names because of concerns over their immigration status. As the Trump administration intensifies deportation activity around the country, some immigrants — including many who have lived in Texas's southern tip for decades — are unwilling to leave their homes, even for necessary medical care. Tucked behind the freeway strip malls, roadside taquerias and vast citrus groves that span this 160-mile stretch of the Rio Grande Valley are people like Juanita, who need critical medical care in one of the nation's poorest and unhealthiest regions. For generations, Mexican families have harmoniously settled — some legally, some not — in this predominately Latino community where immigration status was once hardly top of mind. White House officials have directed federal agents to leave no location unchecked, including hospitals and churches, in their drive to remove 1 million immigrants by year's end. Those agents are even combing through the federal government's largest medical record databases to search for immigrants who may be in the United States illegally. Deportations and tougher restrictions will come with consequences, says Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that favors restrictive immigration policies. 'We shouldn't have let it get out of hand the way we did,' Krikorian says of the previous administration's immigration policies. 'Some businesses are going to have difficulties. Some communities are going to face difficulties.' Federal agents' raids began reaching deeper into everyday life across the Rio Grande Valley in June, just as the area's 1.4 million residents began their summer ritual of enduring the suffocating heat. This working-class stretch of Texas solidly backed Trump in the 2024 election, despite campaign promises to ruthlessly pursue mass deportations. People here, who once moved regularly from the U.S. to Mexico to visit relatives or get cheap dental care, say they didn't realize his deportation campaign would focus on their neighbors. But in recent weeks, restaurant workers have been escorted out mid-shift and farmers have suddenly lost field workers. Schoolchildren talk openly about friends who lost a parent in raids. More than a dozen were arrested last month at local flea markets, according to local news reports and Border Patrol officials. Immigrants are staying shut inside their mobiles homes and shacks that make up the 'colonias,' zoning-free neighborhoods that sometimes don't have access to running water or electricity, says Sandra de la Cruz-Yarrison, who runs the Holy Family Services, Inc. clinic in Weslaco, Texas. 'People are not going to risk it,' de la Cruz-Yarrison says. 'People are being stripped from their families.' Yet people here are among the most medically needy in the country. Nearly half the population is obese. Women are more likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer and elderly people are more likely to develop dementia. Bladder cancers can be more aggressive. One out of every four people lives with diabetes. As much as a third of the population doesn't have health insurance to cover those ailments. And a quarter of people live in poverty, more than double the national average. Now, many in this region are on a path to develop worse health outcomes as they skip doctor appointments out of fear, says Dr. Stanley Fisch, a pediatrician who helped open Driscoll Children's Hospital in the region last year. 'We've always had, unfortunately, people who have gone with untreated diabetes for a long time and now it's compounded with these other issues at the moment,' Fisch says. 'This is a very dangerous situation for people. The population is suffering accordingly.' Elvia was the unlucky — and unsuspecting — patient who sat down for the finger prick the clinic offers everyone during its monthly educational meeting for community members. As blood oozed out of her finger, the monitor registered a 194 glucose level, indicating she is prediabetic. She balked at the idea of writing down her address for regular care at Holy Family Services' clinic. Nor did she want to enroll in Medicaid, the federal and state funded program that provides health care coverage to the poorest Americans. Although she is a legal resident, some people living in her house do not have legal status. Fewer people have come to Holy Family Services' clinic with coverage in recent months, says billing coordinator Elizabeth Reta. Over decades, the clinic's midwifery staff has helped birth thousands of babies in bathtubs or on cozy beds in birthing houses situated throughout the campus. But now, Reta says, some parents are too scared to sign those children up for health insurance because they do not want to share too much information with the government. 'Even people I personally know that used to have Medicaid for their children that were born here — that are legally here, but the parents are not — they stopped requesting Medicaid,' Reta says. Their worry is well-founded. An Associated Press investigation last week revealed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have gained access to personal health data — including addresses — of the nation's 79 million Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program enrollees. The disclosure will allow ICE officials to receive 'identity and location information of aliens,' documents obtained by the AP say. In Texas, the governor started requiring emergency room staff to ask patients about their legal status, a move that doctors have argued will dissuade immigrants from seeking needed care. State officials have said the data will show how much money is spent on care for immigrants who may not be here legally. Federal law requires emergency rooms to treat any patients who come to the doors. Visits to Holy Family Services' mobile clinic have stopped altogether since Trump took office. The van, which once offered checkups at the doorsteps in the colonias, now sits running on idle. Its constant hum is heard throughout the clinic's campus, to keep medical supplies fresh in the 100-degree temperatures. 'These were hard-hit communities that really needed the services,' de la Cruz-Yarrison says. 'People were just not coming after the administration changed.' Immigrants were less likely to seek medical care during Trump's first term, multiple studies concluded. A 2023 study of well-child visits in Boston, Minneapolis and Little Rock, Arkansas, noted a 5% drop for children who were born to immigrant mothers after Trump was elected in 2016. The study also noted declines in visits when news about Trump's plans to tighten immigration rules broke throughout his first term. 'It's a really high-anxiety environment where they're afraid to talk to the pediatrician, go to school or bring their kids to child care,' says Stephanie Ettinger de Cuba, a Boston University researcher who oversaw the study. A delayed trip to the doctor almost cost 82-year-old Maria Isabel de Perez her son this spring. He refused to seek help for his intense and constant stomach pains for weeks, instead popping Tylenol daily so he could still labor in the farm fields of Arkansas, she says. He put off going to the hospital as rumors swirled that immigration enforcement officials were outside of the hospital. 'He waited and waited because he felt the pain but was too scared to go to the hospital,' she explains in Spanish through an interpreter. 'He couldn't go until the appendix exploded.' Her son is still recovering after surgery and has not been able to return to work, she says. Perez is a permanent resident who has lived in the United States for 40 years. But all of her children were born in Mexico, and, because she is a green card holder, she cannot sponsor them for citizenship. Maria, meanwhile, only leaves her house to volunteer at a local food bank. She's skipped work on nearby farms. And after last month's arrests, she won't sell clothes for money at the flea market anymore. So she stuffs cardboard boxes with loaves of bread, potatoes, peppers and beans that will be handed out to the hungry. Before the raids began, about 130 people would drive up to collect a box of food from Maria. But on this sweltering June day, only 68 people show up for food. She brings home a box weekly to her children, ages 16, 11 and 4, who are spending the summer shut inside. Her 16-year-old daughter has skipped the checkup she needs to refill her depression medication. The teenager, who checks in on friends whose parents have been arrested in immigration raids through a text group chat, insists she is 'doing OK.' Maria left Mexico years ago because dangerous gangs rule her hometown, she explains. She's married now to an American truck driver. 'We're not bad people,' Maria says from her dining room table, where her 4-year-old son happily eats a lime green popsicle. 'We just want to have a better future for our children.' Juanita, the prediabetic mother who hasn't filled her prescriptions out of fear, was not sure when she would brave the pharmacy again. But with a cross hanging around her neck, the devout Catholic says she will say three invocations before she does. Explains her 15-year-old son, Jose: 'We always pray before we leave.' Seitz and Martin write for the Associated Press.

Hundreds of Nashville-Area Kids Receive Free Dental Screenings, Shoes, and More at 2025 Kids Dental Day
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hundreds of children from across Middle Tennessee recently received free dental screenings, new shoes, hygiene kits, books, and more during the 4th annual Kids Dental Day at First Horizon Park. Hosted by Delta Dental of Tennessee, the Nashville Sounds, and cityCURRENT, the event brought together 250 children and over a dozen community organizations to provide essential health services and school readiness resources to area youth. 'This is one of our favorite days of the year,' said Adam English, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer of the Nashville Sounds. 'First Horizon Park is meant to be a place where families can come together, and thanks to our incredible partners, we're able to make a real impact for hundreds of kids in our community.' Tooth decay is the most common chronic condition of childhood, and poor oral health can affect a child's quality of life, performance at school, and success later in life. According to the CDC's 2024 Oral Health Surveillance Report, half of all children aged 6 to 9 have had cavities in their primary or permanent teeth. Left untreated, these cavities can lead to pain, infections, and missed school days - and affect a child's ability to eat, speak, play, and learn. Events like Kids Dental Day help bridge the gap in access to care and put children on a path toward healthier, more confident futures. 'We're always grateful to the Sounds and our many community partners and volunteers who come together to make Kids Dental Day such a success,' said Jeff Ballard, President and CEO of Delta Dental of Tennessee. 'It's a fun, high-impact day that helps make care more accessible - and reminds kids that their health and happiness matter.' The 250 participating kids arrived throughout the day from summer camps and community programs that coordinated with event organizers, including Preston Taylor Ministries and local chapters of the Boys and Girls Club of Middle Tennessee. Kids received free dental screenings and dental cleanings (as needed), a new pair of socks and shoes, snacks, and a new book. About 25% of children receiving cleanings also had signs of developing cavities that the dental team was able to treat with silver diamine fluoride (SDF), a non-invasive treatment used to stop the growth of tooth decay. 'Helping kids access quality dental care is at the heart of our mission,' said Dr. Michele Blackledge-Polk, Director of Oral Health at Neighborhood Health. 'Good oral health habits start early and set the foundation for lifelong health, confidence, and success. One of the most powerful aspects of events like Kids Dental Day is our ability to assess the state of children in the community by having limited exams and education on brushing and flossing. Silver Diamine Fluoride is a new tool that works by preventing the progression of cavities. When properly used, we can reduce the need for drilling and hopefully the number of visits required to treat the tooth. This event is all about meeting families where they are and making oral health approachable and fun.' The day also featured educational stations and activities to engage children as they prepare to return to school in the coming weeks. Book'em brought their Book Bus, giving every child the opportunity to pick out a free book to take home. The American Heart Association provided hands-only CPR demonstrations, and the Adventure Science Center hosted STEM activities. PBS Kids on Nashville PBS gave out temporary tattoos featuring characters from the Delta Dental and Smile180 Foundation supported oral health education programming. 'For many of our families, back-to-school can be extremely time-consuming and stressful,' said Dwight Johnson, Executive Director at Preston Taylor Ministries. 'Kids Dental Day helps to alleviate a lot of that burden with care, joy, and community. Our students left with healthier smiles, fresh shoes, and a boost of confidence for the year ahead.' 130 volunteers from cityCURRENT and other community groups helped make the day run smoothly ─ from assisting families and guiding kids through activities to distributing books, snacks, and dental kits. 'Kids Dental Day is a shining example of what can happen when the business community comes together with a shared purpose,' said Kelly Meyers, Nashville Market President, cityCURRENT. 'It's more than a day of service ─ it's a reminder to each child that they matter, and we're here to support them.' Additional partners helped to make the event possible behind the scenes. Signature Transportation provided buses to bring kids to and from summer programs and camps across the region, ensuring that transportation was never a barrier to participation. Volunteers stayed energized thanks to snacks and drinks donated by Kroger, as well as coffee and doughnuts donated by Dunkin' Donuts. Dental supplies were donated by Henry Schein and equipment was provided by Hope Smiles. To learn more about Kids Dental Day, visit:

Republicans press Lutnick on AI chip policy
A group of House Republicans pressed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Thursday to quickly nail down the administration's policy on artificial intelligence (AI) chip exports after rescinding the Biden administration's framework. Eight GOP lawmakers, led by Rep. Mark Alford (R-Mo.), urged the administration to provide a 'stable exporting structure' to replace former President Biden's AI diffusion rule. 'This rule would have helped China win the AI race, and replacing this rule quickly will provide American innovators a stable environment to compete and win,' they wrote in Thursday's letter, first reported by Semafor. The Trump administration rescinded the AI diffusion rule in May. The rule, unveiled in the final days of Biden's presidency, placed caps on chip sales to most countries around the world. Only 18 U.S. allies and partners were exempted from the restrictions. The diffusion rule faced sharp pushback from the semiconductor industry, with major players like Nvidia slamming it as 'misguided.' The Commerce Department pulled the rule shortly before it was set to go into effect, arguing it would 'have stifled American innovation and saddled companies with burdensome new regulatory requirements.' Alford and his GOP colleagues agreed with the administration's assessment, while pushing for a new framework with know-your-customer and security controls. 'We can only win the AI race with Communist China if we are wisely limiting our foreign adversary's opportunities to develop frontier AI and enabling American companies to compete quickly in the global marketplace,' they added. 'Both prongs are important and the balance between them are crucial.' 'America is winning the AI race, but the competition has been hard fought and will continue to be,' the lawmakers continued. 'Steps must be taken quickly since investments happening now will create the world's tech ecosystem for decades to come.' The letter comes after the Trump administration walked back curbs on some Nvidia chip sales to China last week. Nvidia announced last Monday that it was filing applications to sell its H20 chips after receiving assurances from the U.S. government that its licenses would be granted. The chipmaker revealed earlier this year that the administration was implementing new licensing requirements that would limit its ability to sell the chips in China. The reversal prompted pushback from at least one key Republican lawmaker, Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), chair of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. He raised concerns in a letter to Lutnick on Friday, arguing that the move would boost China's AI capabilities.
