Keen to reduce my caffeine intake, I've been on the hunt for things that'll give me that same needed boost in the mornings and before my workouts without the stomach sensitivity and brain fog that often comes alongside my long black. After trying Spacegood's Rainbow Dust drinks and loving it, I decided to give the Hydro Dust a go. Safe to say I wasn't disappointed. As simple as stirring a teaspoon of powder into a glass of water, Hydro Dust has helped me kick the caffeine without sacrificing on energy levels, and I've found myself feeling more focused and switched on after my daily watermelon drink, too. While I love it for helping me stay focused at work (especially after a poor night of sleep), I appreciate it most as a pre-workout drink, giving me a dose of salt and hydration before a big sweat while giving me a helpful boost to tackle my workout. Thanks to the inclusion of Reishi Mushroom, a highly hyped adaptogen, Hydro Dust helps to support resilience, known to help the body adapt to stress and support a calm, focused state. Even on my busiest days this has been a huge help, keeping me far more level headed. In fact, I couldn't put the benefits better than this five-star reviewer, who wrote: 'It does seem to give a bit of a lift. Nothing jittery or intense, just a subtle feeling of being more switched on and energised.' And for that boosted feeling alone, I have to rate Hydro Dust a five out of five.

Glaucoma: Vitamin B, choline supplements may slow down progression
Two supplements may help slow down the progression of glaucoma, according to a new study. Design by MNT; Photography by& Halfdark/Getty Images Glaucoma is a type of eye disease that can injure the optic nerve and lead to blindness. Past studies show there are several ways a person can help lower their risk for glaucoma, including eating a healthy diet rich in certain nutrients. A new study has found that supplementation with B vitamins and choline may help slow the progression of glaucoma, via a mouse model. There is currently no cure for glaucoma. Medications, surgery, and laser treatments are currently used to help treat and slow the progression of the condition. Now, a new study recently published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine adds to this body of knowledge by reporting that supplementation with B vitamins and the essential nutrient choline may help slow the progression of glaucoma, via a mouse model. For this study, researchers focused on an amino acid that naturally occurs in the body called homocysteine. Homocysteine plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. Past studies have linked high homocysteine levels to the development and progression of glaucoma. However, in this current study, researchers found when mice with glaucoma were given higher levels of homocysteine, it did not make their glaucoma worse. They also discovered that increased amounts of homocysteine in the blood were not linked to how fast the disease progressed. 'Our conclusion is that homocysteine is a bystander in the disease process, not a player,' James Tribble, researcher and assistant professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and co-lead author of this study said in a press release. 'Altered homocysteine levels may reveal that the retina has lost its ability to use certain vitamins that are necessary to maintain healthy metabolism. That's why we wanted to investigate whether supplements of these vitamins could protect the retina,' he said. Researchers then provided supplements of B vitamins — including B6, B9 (folate), and B12 — as well as the essential nutrient choline to the glaucoma mouse model. Scientists discovered that in mice with slow development of glaucoma, the optic nerve damage was completely stopped. And in mice with a more aggressive form of glaucoma, the supplementation helped slow down the disease's progression. The researchers mentioned that in all experiments with the mouse glaucoma model, eye pressure was not treated. Glaucoma is normally associated with elevated eye pressure or intraocular pressure (IOP). A primary treatment for glaucoma is lowering the eye's IOP through the use of medications, laser treatments, or surgery. Scientists believe this shows that the vitamin supplementation may impact glaucoma in a different way than lower eye pressure. Researchers are now reportedly beginning a clinical trial to test their findings on humans. Medical News Today had the opportunity to speak with David I. Geffen, OD, FAAO, director of optometric and refractive services at the Gordon Schanzlin New Vision in La Jolla, CA, about this study. 'Any new method of decreasing the damage from glaucoma is a welcome addition to our ability to save eyesight,' Geffen commented. 'This could be revolutionary in, it is one of the first studies to show supplements will help control glaucoma. As our population is aging, we are seeing a large increase of glaucoma patients in our practice.' 'Because glaucoma is a progressive disease and we do not have a cure, any new treatment is a welcome addition,' he continued. 'We know glaucoma medications seem to be less effective over time. Therefore, we need to keep finding more new ways to help control this process and eventually cure the disease. This treatment may be an important way to look at new ways to control glaucoma.' 'In the future I would like to see some longer-term studies with glaucoma patients,' Geffen added. 'I would also like to see investigations on similar types of treatments utilizing other supplements.' MNT also spoke with Benjamin Bert, MD, a board certified ophthalmologist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, CA, about this research. Bert commented that anytime we make any discoveries that show the potential to slow or prevent any damage from diseases like glaucoma is always a good thing. 'There have been other nutrition studies that have been done in the past that have shown some benefit, and so anything that we can add to what we can do on a daily basis is, of course, of great importance and great interest,' he added. 'Right now, the only treatments that we have for glaucoma specifically are eye drops and surgeries to lower the eye pressure, but we're discovering more and more that there's other things that are happening that can actually cause the progression of the glaucoma. So continuing to explore the actual background of why this damage is happening is very important to be able to develop other treatments for it, and also ways to prevent it from happening in the first place.' — Benjamin Bert, MD 'And this study, in particular, kind of identified homocysteine as one of the metabolic components that was causing some of the damage, which had been thought of before but not directly treated,' he added. 'And with the vitamin supplements showing some prevention benefit, that's an exciting thing for us to be able to have on the horizon.' Supplements Eye Health / Blindness Nutrition / Diet

Hailey Bieber says she's 'gone through 15 jars' of this body lotion - so have I, and it's only £22
I love skincare. I find comfort in the ritual of double-cleansing my face before applying a niacinamide serum and barrier cream. The only part of my nighttime routine that I don't enjoy? Moisturising my body. At least that's how I felt about the process of lathering my limbs in lotion until I discovered the Naturium Bio Lipid Restoring Body Lotion. Since launching in the UK in 2022, Naturium has quickly become one of my favourite skincare brands. It's known for its high-performance formulas that combine the power of natural and naturally-derived ingredients with science-backed actives. The result is a line-up of potent products that are not only clinically effective, but relatively affordable too (we're talking £22 for a Vitamin C serum). But back to the Bio Lipid Restoring Body Lotion, which remains one of my favourite products of the brand. Packed with omega fatty acids, shea butter, B vitamins and humectants, it's one of those moisturisers that actually softens and nourishes the skin, is quick to absorb, and leaves no greasy residue. It's also fragrance free and comes in a large bottle with a handy pump that dispenses a generous amount of product per press, making it easier to use than those squeeze-tube body lotions, especially when you're moisturising your entire body. I couldn't tell you how many bottles I've gone through; however, I can tell you that I always have to buy a bottle for my mum whenever I go home. That said, we both agree this product has one major drawback: when there's around a third of the product left, the pump makes it difficult to access the remaining product. So, when Naturium announced the newest addition to their body lotion range, and I noticed it came in a tub rather than a bottle (hurrah), I knew it had the potential to become my favourite product of the brand so far – and it did. Formulated with linoleic-rich botanical oils, shea butter, glycerine and squalane, the Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Butter is another bodycare hero that hydrates, softens and smoothes the skin, and absorbs quickly with no greasy residue. Contrary to the body lotion, the body butter has a subtle vanilla and coconut scent, which I don't mind as I usually apply it at night. (It's more effective to apply moisturiser before bed as the skin naturally repairs and regenerates itself while you sleep.) If my stamp of approval isn't enough to convince you to run to your nearest Space NK or Boots, know it's got Hailey Bieber's too. The model used it to prep her skin for the Met Gala on Monday night. 'I've been using this since I was pregnant, and I've probably gone through 15 jars of it at this point,' she revealed on Instagram Stories.
