Random, interesting studies

Aronia berry
A small amount of the extract increased the body temperature of women by over a degree.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3843504/#Sec2Anthocyanins from Aronia (cyanidin
291 3-arabinoside, cyanidin 3-galactoside, cyanidin 3-xyloside and cyanidin 3-glucoside) increased the effects of the anti aging protein klotho.
It increased several health markers of the brain.
They also increased antioxidants and monoanines of which dopamine was increased the strongest in the brain.
They also drastically down regulated COX-2 and inflammatory cytokines.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28657734/Aronia polyphenols drastically increased PGC1a in Brown adipose tissue (new mitochondria) and slightly increased UCP1.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7339576Here we got an anti-inflammatory effect of aronia. But what's more interesting is that they used histamine and serotonin to induce the inflammation, including the (paw) edema. Notably, the concentration needed to induce inflammation was 50 times lower for serotonin than for histmine. And histamine is a known inflammation induced, yet you rarely hear the same thing about serotonin, although it seems to be a lot more harmful in that regard.
"Inflammation of rat hind paw was induced either by 0.5% solution of histamine or by 0.01% solution of serotonin."

Dopamine and noradrenaline drastically reduced in part of the brain. Serotonin not.
In PD, the levels of dopamine and noradrenaline were greatly reduced by 93 and 81%, respectively.

@Mauritio Aronia products are being pushed by marketers so much lol

2.0 g of meldonium daily for 90 days improved sperm health increased testosterone by about 70% in boars.

"Meldonium treatment in both models restored mitochondrial bioenergetics. The results show that meldonium treatment prevents the development of RV and LV systolic dysfunction by enhancing mitochondrial function in experimental models of ventricular dysfunction that resembles cardiovascular complications in COVID-19 patients."
