PLT to Present New Sleep Ingredient Study at American Academy of Sleep Medicine Conference
Serezin™ Restorative Sleep + Pain Relief is Clinically Demonstrated to Provide Fast-Acting Nighttime and Daytime Pain Relief, Make Falling Asleep Easier and Promote Waking Up Feeling More Alert and Refreshed MORRISTOWN, N.J., June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PLT Health Solutions, Inc. announced that it will be presenting clinical study results for its Serezin™ Restorative Sleep + Pain Relief ingredient at the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Conference being held June 7-11 in Seattle, WA USA. Dawna Salter-Farfan, PhD, RD, PLT's Senior Clinical Research Manager, will be conducting a poster session Wednesday, 6/11/2025, at 10:00 AM during the Clinical Sleep Science and Practice session will cover results of a recent clinical trial on Serezin and will present data specifically on results with women. An abstract entitled An Herbal Supplement Improves Restorative Sleep and Sleep Quality, Elevates Mood, and Increases Total Sleep Time," was published in the May edition of the journal SLEEP. ) According to Dr. Salter-Farfan, these presentations are an effort by PLT to reach a wider audience for Serezin research. "We are excited to present our high-impact research findings at SLEEP 2025. We will be showing data demonstrating Serezin improves sleep quality and quantity, but with a special emphasis on the improvements shown within the female-only cohort of our study. While many of us look to tracking devices to understand our sleep, these data often do not align with our experience. Waking up feeling rested, restored, and refreshed is the defining characteristic of a great night's sleep. By providing relief for nighttime aches and pain, Serezin unlocks the benefits of restorative sleep so that men and women can have better days, every day," she added. SLEEP 2025 is the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, LLC (APSS), a joint venture of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the Sleep Research Society (SRS). SLEEP is considered the world's premier clinical and scientific meeting for sleep medicine, sleep and circadian research, and sleep health. The meeting brings together leading experts, innovators, and attendees from across the United States and around the world. New Clinical Study Points to Broad Ranging Benefits A comprehensive 4-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 60 healthy men and women ages 50-70 years. Subjects self-reported disturbed sleep due to everyday aches and pains. They received either a 300 mg dose of Serezin a day or a placebo. Measurements were conducted at 1, 2 and 4 weeks. Key findings Include: Improved Restorative Sleep Within 1 Week: Subjects taking Serezin woke up feeling more rested and restored within the first week. By four weeks, subjects taking Serezin experienced a 64% greater improvement in restorative sleep than those taking placebo. Reduce Every Day Aches and Pains Within 1 Week: Significant improvements in pain scores started on Day 7 for the Serezin group. By Day 28, subjects taking Serezin experienced a 2.6x greater reduction in nighttime discomfort and a 75% greater reduction in daytime discomfort compared to the placebo. Easier to Fall Asleep and Better Sleep Quality Within 2 Weeks: With statistically significant improvements by Day 14, subjects taking Serezin experienced improvements in getting to sleep that were 85% greater than those taking a placebo and 93% greater improvements in sleep quality than those taking a placebo as assessed by the Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire. Improvements in Wake-Up Experience Within 2 Weeks: Subjects taking Serezin reported having a significantly easier time waking up in the morning and feeling more alert with better motor control upon waking, as assessed by the Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire. Serezin Improved Mood Within 2 Weeks: Mood states were evaluated using a validated questionnaire covering six domains: tension, depression, anger, vigor, fatigue, and confusion. Serezin subjects reported improved overall mood starting at Day 14. For the study, subjects reported a 2.2x improvement in overall mood. According to Steve Fink, Vice President, Marketing for PLT, the company has a growing range of solutions for sleep and relaxation in its ingredient portfolio. "Cognitive health is an intense area of interest and innovation at PLT today, with a broad portfolio that addresses Cognitive Performance, Mental Energy, Stress and Mood and Sleep and Relaxation. We have active clinical programs supporting all of these consumer needs," he said. "Serezin is an exciting ingredient in the sleep space because it features a different approach to promoting restorative sleep than many of the ingredients on the market today. We feel that this study can help consumer products companies develop compelling, trustworthy messaging for a new generation of sleep support products," he said.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kathy Abusow, President and CEO of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) is proud to announce Dr. Patricia (Pat) Layton, Director of the Wood Utilization and Design Institute at Clemson University, as the recipient of the 2025 SFI President's Award. Presented during SFI's 2025 Annual Conference, the award recognizes Layton's exceptional leadership and longstanding contributions to SFI and to urban forestry, forest literacy, and innovation in green Abusow, President & CEO of Sustainable Forestry Initiative (left) and Dr. Patricia (Pat) Layton, Director of the Wood Utilization and Design Institute at Clemson University (right) 'It's especially meaningful that Pat is being recognized with the President's Award on our 30-year anniversary, since she's been involved with SFI since its inception,' said Abusow. 'Pat has shown what's possible when sustainable forest management and education come together. Through her leadership, Clemson has become a model for how campuses can manage forests responsibly, engage students in real-world learning, and inspire future environmental stewards.' Under Layton's leadership, Clemson University became the first organization to achieve certification to the full SFI Urban and Community Forest Sustainability Standard. This certification demonstrates Layton and the Clemson team's commitment to recognizing and promoting the role urban and community forests play in building healthier, more resilient communities. Layton's meaningful impact also extends to forest literacy and Project Learning Tree (PLT), an initiative of SFI. While Vice Chair of the SFI Board of Directors, she was influential in bringing the 2025 PLT Annual Conference to Clemson University, where PLT state coordinators, facilitators, and educators from across the country gathered to share best practices in environmental education and inspire one another. A long-time advocate for green jobs and youth engagement, Layton is committed to preparing the next generation to lead in the forest and conservation sector. The PLT conference also featured a field excursion to the SFI-certified Clemson Experimental Forest, further illustrating how sustainable forest management and hands-on education are connected. Additionally, Layton is a nationally recognized voice in the advancement of mass timber and sustainable building materials. Her experience with green buildings and innovative wood use continues to guide SFI's work in the mass timber market. Through her leadership at the Wood Utilization and Design Institute, she is helping position mass timber as a climate smart alternative in the built environment, linking forest health to low-carbon construction and community development. 'I am honored to receive this award from SFI. It is not only gratifying for me personally, but it also shows what can happen when two great institutions collaborate. SFI has been a major change agent in forest management in North America, and it has been a privilege to participate in its standards and programs over the years,' said Layton. 'Clemson's association with SFI has not only had a positive impact on the University and its community but has furthered our land-grant mission of fostering prosperity in South Carolina by taking innovative forest management practices and imparting them to the state's many forestland owners through teaching, research, and Extension. I am delighted that Clemson and SFI are providing leadership to address these issues.' As a member of the SFI Board of Directors, Layton has been instrumental in advancing SFI's 2025-2030 Strategic Direction, including greater utilization of SFI programs to advance community priorities. The SFI President's Award is given annually to recognize individuals or organizations demonstrating outstanding leadership in advancing sustainability through forest-focused collaboration. Layton's vision and commitment exemplify the values of SFI and set the stage for continued innovation in forest-focused collaboration. About SFI The Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) advances sustainability through forest-focused collaborations. We are an independent, nonprofit organization that leverages four interconnected pillars of work: standards, conservation, community, and education.

PLT launch summer dress that's over £200 cheaper than designer counterpart
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more With summer just around the corner, we are desperately shopping for new dresses before they sell out. We need ones to wear everyday, on holiday, as a beach cover up, to the office, destination weddings and summer parties. Speaking of, we think we have found the perfect number. We stumbled across PLT's Dark Red Floral Corset A Line Shift Dress, which we think is uber feminine and flattering. As we continued our hunt for new wardrobe staples, we then came across Faithfull The Brand's Sanne Mini Dress in Colette, and the similarity is undeniable. Pretty Little Thing's creation fetches £36, whereas the designer alternative will set you back £250, so of course we're leaning towards PLT's creation to save us over £200. Crafted from a polyester and elastane blend. This mini dress boasts a square neckline and back, thick shoulder straps, a corset bodice, and an A-line mini in dress sizes 4 to 16. It also comes in other colourways. BUY NOW FOR £36 The Sanne Mini Dress is hugely popular, and has almost sold from European flax linen fabric that is free from chemicals, and is a lightweight and breathable material in a vintage floral boasts a low scooped neckline, thin shoulder straps, a fitted bodice, and lantern-cut skirt. Available in three prints, though stock is selling fast. BUY NOW FOR £250 The Dark Red Floral Corset A Line Shift Dress attracted our attention not only because it is an affordable alternative to Faithfull The Brand's premium option, but it is super flattering, and comes in an array of bold prints. The dress boasts a square neckline, and back, thick shoulder straps, and a flattering corset bodice, which cinches in your waist before the A-line mini skirt flares out. It hugs you in all the right places, and creates the most flattering silhouette. This shape bears likeness to the Sanne Mini Dress, which features a low scooped neckline and a fitted body, while the mini skirt offers a straight cut, which has been described as a 'lantern shape', as it is not super figure hugging, but not too exaggerated either. Plus the dress is mini in length and falls midway down the thigh. However, the Sanne dress has thinner straps than the PLT version, and we prefer the latter for extra security. The Sanne Mini Dress has been cleverly designed with dart detail along the waist to cinch in the upper body to create the corset illusion. More Trending This design has been crafted from eco-conscious European flax linen in a vintage floral print, and has cotton lining for comfort and added structure. Both mini dresses come in a floral print, and we think the Colette version of the Sanne dress with its multi-coloured botanical pattern is similar to PLT's romantic design. However, Faithfull The Brand has also created a blue and white floral print version, known as Cecile, as well as a blue baroque print, Aurora. The Aurora and Colette styles of the Sanne dress have almost sold out. So, if you are looking for a similar alternative, and one to save you a few extra pounds, the PLT version is a chic substitute we think looks more premium than its price tag. Whether you opt for the designer or affordable online retailer's dress, these creations lend themselves to the summer party season, festivals and have a place in our holiday wardrobe. Pull out a colour from the dresses to match your kitten heel thong sandals with, opt for a block heel sandal, or wedge, or opt for a Western boot this festival season. You just watch the compliments come flooding in.
