New multicomponent solid forms of the nutraceutical pterostilbene have been discovered and characterized through experimental cocrystal screening. Among coformers tested, picolinic acid formed a with 10-fold enhancement oral bioavailability in rats, which converts new into very promising candidate for formulations improved performance.

Soils in the Lower Swansea Valley, (United Kingdom) contain elevated level of metals, enough to cause direct or indirect effects on human health. This study assesses severity soil pollution and bioavailability Cu other metals (Ni, Zn, Co, Pb Cr) soils with various distances from a Ni refinery. We compare concentrations operationally defined fractions (bioavailable, bound Fe/Mn oxide incorporate...
