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.
Researchers recently published an article in International Journal of Science and Research that recommended these 5 natural ways for dealing with sleep disorders.
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.

Shortly after Truehope founders, Anthony Stephan and David Hardy, discovered the Truehope formula, they realized it was critical that their discovery was validated by science. They finally found a researcher at the University of Calgary who was willing (but reluctant) to try EMPowerplus in a pilot study.
Twelve years later, EMPowerplus has been the subject of 19 academic papers, including case-control designs, case studies using with-subject crossover designs, open-label case series, case reports with extensive historical treatment information,
Last month, researchers at Ohio State University published a study in the Journal of Alternative Complimentary Medicine on the effect of EMPowerplus on people with Child-Onset Bipolar Spectrum Disorder. The results of the study are encouraging.
Researchers tracked the depression and mania levels of 7 child participants using the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present Episode-Depression Rating Scale and the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present Episode-Mania Rating Scale, respectively.
Last summer, the Journal of Attention Disorders published a study examining the relationship between dietary patterns and ADHD.
After examining 1172 adolescents with an ADHD diagnosis, researchers identified two major dietary patterns in the sample: western and healthy. The western dietary pattern included higher intakes of total fat, saturated fat, refined sugars, and sodium, and lower intakes of omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and folate. The healthy dietary pattern had higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids,
One of the demands EMPowerplus critics continue to put to us is the need for randomized controlled, double blind, placebo controlled studies. To many in the scientific world (particularly those analyzing quantitative data), those three elements are a holy grail of sorts.
The premise is that these trials eliminate bias: bias from the participant and bias from the researcher.
The problem with insisting on this type of research as being the only research that can produce reliable data is that, at least in Truehope’s case,
In September 2010, Christchurch, New Zealand, was hit by a 7.1 earthquake. Researchers at the University of Canterbury, Ohio State University, and the West Coast District Health Board (in Greymouth, New Zealand) wanted to study the effects such an event had on the anxiety, fear, and depression levels of earthquake survivors.
