Effects of Vaccinium berries (blueberries, cranberries and bilberries) on oxidative stress, inflammation, exercise performance, and recovery - a systematic review.

A review found that (poly)phenols in berries do not significantly improve exercise performance or recovery in healthy individuals. Limited evidence suggests they may not impact markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Further studies are needed to understand their effects.

Rattan Pepper Polysaccharide Regulates DSS-Induced Intestinal Inflammation and Depressive Behavior through Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis.

This study found that rattan pepper polysaccharide (RPP) can reduce intestinal inflammation and depression-like behavior in mice with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). RPP improves gut microbiota balance, reduces brain inflammation, and enhances synaptic function. This suggests that RPP may have potential therapeutic effects for IBD and associated depression.
