“Nutrition 2026 provides an outstanding opportunity to share our latest research with the global nutrition science community while engaging with researchers, healthcare professionals and industry partners,” said Dawna Salter-Farfan. “At PLT, we’re committed to building a strong scientific foundation for our branded ingredients through rigorous research. We look forward to discussing these findings with attendees and invite everyone interested in our science to stop by and meet with our team during the conference,” she said.
One poster highlights new clinical research on Kinexa® Joint Longevity Complex, PLT’s newly launched joint longevity ingredient. Titled “A Novel Herbal Supplement Decreases Pain, Improves Mobility, and Modifies MRI-Detected Whole-Organ Knee Structure in Adults with Mild-to-Moderate Osteoarthritis,” the randomized, placebo-controlled human study demonstrated significant improvements in joint strength, comfort, physical function and mobility. Advanced MRI analysis also showed improvements in cartilage composition, cartilage thickness and overall knee structural integrity, suggesting that the ingredient may positively influence both symptoms and underlying joint structure.
Poster Number: P01-23-26, Poster Board B-22 Location/Session: Aging and Chronic Disease (I) 07/25/2026, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
A second presentation features research evaluating Dynagenix® Joint+Muscle Formula, a standardized water-soluble Boswellia serrata extract. Titled “A Water-Soluble Boswellia serrata Extract Reduces Pain and Stiffness, Increases Knee Range of Motion, and Improves Functional Mobility in Adults with Mild Osteoarthritis,” the clinical trial demonstrated reductions in pain and stiffness within as few as five days of supplementation, with continued improvements in range of motion, walking ability, functional mobility and inflammatory biomarkers over the 30-day study period.

The third presentation explores a novel green tea extract rich in galloylated catechin dimers using the Caenorhabditis elegans model. Titled “A Galloylated Catechin Dimer-Rich Green Tea Extract Engages Stress-Responsive and Epithelial Pathways to Promote Gut Integrity and Longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans,” the study found improvements in intestinal barrier integrity and increased lifespan. Transcriptomic analyses further identified modulation of pathways associated with epithelial maintenance, redox regulation and cellular stress resilience, providing new insights into the mechanisms supporting healthy aging.
