Home workout enthusiasts know the importance of a quality set of dumbbells. They can be part of a variety of workout types, whether you’re a strength training beginner or well into an at-home workout regimen. “Having a pair of dumbbells at home is great for building strength,” says Maggi Gao, a NASM-certified personal trainer and Russian Kettlebell Challenge-certified coach in New York City. “Weights put a consistent stimulus on all parts of the motion, so every part of the movement has the effect of the weight on it.

The metabolic support category has a stimulant problem. Most fat burners lean on caffeine-heavy stacks to drive output, which works for some users but leaves others (those sensitive to stimulants or who already take a pre-workout) with limited options. MuscleTech Metabolic Peptide 320 takes a different approach, targeting biological signaling rather than stimulation to support resting metabolism.

Two ingredients, two distinct jobs, one clean daily capsule. The formula pairs two research-backed ingredients. TheoLim® is a patented blend…

Pomegranates are put to the test for weight loss, diabetes, COPD, prostate cancer, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. The case of POM Wonderful (the pomegranate juice company) vs. Federal Trade Commission made it all the way up to the U.S. Court of Appeals before being denied review by the Supreme Court. In that landmark case, a panel of judges concluded that many of POM’s ads made false or misleading claims and the company “touted medical studies ostensibly showing that daily consumption of its products could treat, prevent, or reduce the risk of various ailments, including heart disease, prostate cancer, and erectile…

Berberine is a natural compound found in plants that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. Today, it’s gaining attention as a supplement people take to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, support metabolism and look after heart health. With so many products on the market, it can be tricky to know which ones are reliable.

It probably comes as no surprise that government agencies have access to a lot of your data—in part because we hand some of it over to them directly, and in part because they are able to purchase it from data brokers that already exist to harvest, aggregate, and sell it to other companies. A recent report from 404 Media confirms that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is among those buying and using location data collected via ads to track users’ movements. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the FBI, and a handful of other federal agencies have also purchased location data…
