Supplements may improve astronaut health, targeting NLR

financialpost.com

TOKYO — New research suggests that two food supplements, Nichi BRITE and Neu REFIX, may improve the health of astronauts by positively affecting the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a key health marker during space missions. These supplements, derived from specific strains of fungi, have shown potential in modifying NLR and may help prevent muscle loss in space. This marks a significant development, as no safe interventions for NLR modification have been reported previously. The findings could also benefit individuals in challenging environments, such as deep-sea researchers and high-altitude climbers. Neu REFIX has already received FDA approval for treating Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Further research is planned to explore these supplements' effects in simulated microgravity and among vulnerable populations.
