Pangaia launches plant-based activewear collection
Materials science company Pangaia has unveiled its most advanced plant-based activewear collection to date, marking an industry first. Dubbed "365 Seamless Activewear', the collection features a next-generation material system combining 100% bio-based Evo Nylon, by Fulgar from plants and renewable sources, with Hyosung's regen Bio Max elastane, made with a polymer composed of 98% renewable resources. Pangaia is the first brand globally to incorporate regen Bio Max elastane into a commercial activewear range. The fibre replaces nearly all fossil-fuel inputs to deliver a 27% lower carbon footprint and 82% less ozone depletion than conventional spandex. Each piece is then finished with Ppprmt, its peppermint oil-based odour-control treatment that helps garments stay fresher for longer and reduces the need for frequent washing. The launch collection features five minimal, foundational styles with seamless construction to contour the body for a second-skin fit. Offered in Black, Gaia Blue, and Dewy Rose, the palette evokes the purity of earth, sky, and bloom. Styles include a ribbed tank top, long and short sleeve tops, and compressive leggings and shorts.

France issues health warning as demand for ‘Viagra' honey surges
A record 31,000 tonnes of illegally imported honey touted as an all-natural sexual performance enhancer were seized in France last year. Health authorities are warning of serious risks, saying the substance is often laced with erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra. France's customs agency said on Monday said they had seen a surge in the illegal import of so-called "love honey" in recent years, and warned in a statement that its consumption can be "dangerous". The honey claims to be an all-natural aphrodisiac but is in fact laced with active elements of the prescription drugs Viagra and Cialis, which are used to treat erectile dysfunction. The packets of honey and gels, sold as "shots" or "sticks" with names like Black Horse, Etu Max or Bio Max, have become popular among young men looking to improve their sexual performance. The sticks are often sold online or under the counter in clubs and other nightlife spots for "recreational" purposes. 'Tests carried out by the Joint Laboratory Service (Customs and DGCCRF) have detected the presence of active ingredients such as Sildenafil or Tadalafil, both used to treat erectile dysfunction and which are subject to regulation,' the agency said.
