PLT Health Solutions to Present Three Posters at Nutrition 2026 Conference

PLT Health Solutions announced that members of its science team will present three research posters at Nutrition 2026, the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition (ASN), July 25-28 in National Harbor, Maryland.

The conference is expected to bring together thousands of nutrition researchers, clinicians, healthcare professionals, and industry leaders from around the globe.

PLT’s presented research focuses on outcomes related to mobility/joint health and longevity/gut barrier integrity, respectively. It will be presented by Dawna Salter-Farfan, PhD, RD, senior manager of clinical research, and Jennifer Murphy, MS, RD, head of innovation and clinical science.

“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 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.”

“It’s an exciting time for PLT as we continue to invest in high-quality research supporting our portfolio of branded ingredients,” said Steve Fink, vice president of marketing for PLT Health Solutions. “Congratulations to Dawna, Jennifer, and all of the collaborating researchers whose work will be presented at Nutrition 2026. Research like this is central to PLT’s mission of providing our customers and the health and wellness community with meaningful scientific evidence that helps drive innovation and inspires consumer confidence in clinically supported ingredients.”

Kinexa Joint Longevity Complex

One poster highlights new clinical research on Kinexa Joint Longevity Complex, PLT’s newly-launched joint longevity herbal ingredient. The randomized, placebo-controlled study demonstrated significant improvements in cartilage composition, cartilage thickness, and overall knee structural integrity, per advanced MRI analysis. There were also significant improvements in measures of joint strength, comfort, physical function, and mobility. The findings suggested that the ingredient may positively influence both symptoms and underlying joint structure.

Poster Number: P01-23-26, Poster Board B-22.

Location/Time: Aging and Chronic Disease (I), July 25th, 11:30-12:30.

Dynagenix Joint + Muscle Formula

A second presentation will cover research on Dynagenix Joint+Muscle Formula, a water-soluble Boswellia serrata extract. The clinical study demonstrated reductions in pain and stiffness within five days of supplementation. Improvements in range of motion, walking ability, functional mobility, and inflammatory biomarkers continued over a 30-day study period.

Green Tea Extract

A third study presented focused on a green tea extract rich in galloylated catechin dimers using a Caenorhabditis elegans model. The study found that the supplement exhibited biological activity that could potentially improve intestinal barrier integrity, and it increased the lifespan of the animals. Transcriptomic analyses further identified modulation of pathways associated with epithelial maintenance, redox regulation, and cellular stress resilience, highlighting new mechanisms which may be relevant in healthy aging.
