What causes mental illness? You’ve heard it before: no one knows. But science is closer than ever before to unravelling this mystery, and nutrition research gives us vital clues.
Researchers recently published an article in International Journal of Science and Research that recommended these 5 natural ways for dealing with sleep disorders.
A Finish researcher recently published a study investigating the connection between diet and severe depression.
The study analyzed 3 other Finnish studies that collectively had over 3000 participants, and they analyzed consumption of: folate, vitamin B12, serum concentrations of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, coffee, tea, and caffeine.
The research indicated that diet, especially a healthy diet rich in folate, and a dietary pattern rich in vegetables, fruits, berries, whole-grains, poultry, fish, and low-fat cheese, may protect against depression.
This research confirms what we continue to say: nutrition affects our mental health.
As we mentioned in an earlier post, we have sponsored a streaming radio show called Holy Hormones Honey! One of the first guests was EMPowerplus researcher, Dr. Bonnie J. Kaplan.
Kaplan is a professor in the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Medicine. Originally from Ohio, she completed all her training in the U.S. in experimental and physiological psychology. Her interest in the biological basis of behaviour led to postdoctoral training and faculty research in neurophysiology at the West Haven (CT) VA Hospital Neuropsychology Laboratory,
A New Zealand researcher recently published a case study in the Advances in Mind-Body Medicine journal regarding the effect EMPowerplus and olive leaf extract have together on ADHD and depression.
A 24-year-old woman participated in a 2010 study that measured the effect of EMPowerplus on people with ADHD following an earthquake in New Zealand. After 8 weeks on EMPowerplus, the woman “was no longer depressed, and her ADHD scores had fallen to within the normal-average range.” She maintained these results for the 4-month follow-up period,
New Zealand researchers recently published a case study paper in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs regarding the effect of EMPowerplus on cannabis and nicotine abuse.
The case study involved a 20-year-old man who met DSM-IV criteria for ADHD combined type, major depressive disorder, panic disorder with agoraphobia, and substance abuse. Brian used cigarettes and cannabis daily and had been on medications for his psychiatric symptoms (including methylphenidate, imipramine, fluoxetine, clonidine, amitriptyline, lorazepam, and clonazepam).

Two years ago, Iranian researchers studied how malnutrition is related to depression in independent, elderly people. The results were published in the Iranian Journal of Public Health.
Studying 1565 people , the researchers classified the participants into one of three groups: at risk for malnutrition, with malnutrition, and well nourished. They used the Geriatric Depression Score to measure their mood.
Did you know that the Truehope EMPowerplus formula is the most researched formula of its kind in the world?
In April 2011, Canadian researchers published an article in BMC Psychiatry exploring the safety and tolerability of EMPowerplus. In the conclusion of the paper, they stated the following:
[EMPowerplus] has the largest number of ingredients (36) of any formula reported in the scientific literature. . . . There is more published and ongoing research on this formula for mental health than on any other complex formula anywhere in the world.
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you probably noticed that we like to talk about our research. The Truehope EMPowerplus formula is the most researched micronutrient formula in the world. It has been the subject of over 30 academic studies undertaken by nearly 50 independent researchers at 15 universities around the world.
We have never funded even a single study. We believe this arms-length, hands-off approach better reduces the risk of influence that we could have on the results.
Note: This is an archived post, and EMPowerplus has been the subject of several other studies since publication. You can read about all Truehope research here.
Truehope is in the news again.
Not only do we produce the most-researched micronutrient formula in history, but we just reached a major milestone: 20 studies. That’s right, we’ve finally reached 20 studies that confirm the efficacy of EMPowerplus in providing nutritional support for mental and physical well-being.
Last month, researchers at Cornell University and the University of Rochester published a paper in the FASEB Journal indicating that expectant mothers who consumed greater amounts of choline than usual may help lower their infants’ vulnerability to stress-related and metabolic disorders.
More choline in the mother’s diet leads to less cortisol in the foetus, which then decreases a baby’s lifelong risk of stress-related and metabolic disorders.
