Published research studies are articles that present the findings of original research that has undergone a peer-review process and has been made publicly available in scholarly journals, books or other media.
Research insights are moderated by the Research Hub team and offer an at-a-glance overview of interesting research findings.

Review Articles
Review articles summarise and critically evaluate the current state of research on a specific topic or field by synthesising multiple primary research studies.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that involve people and are conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new treatments or interventions, such as drugs, medical devices, or behavioural therapies.
Study Protocols
Published study protocols are detailed plans that outline the objectives, methodology, statistical analyses, and organisation of a research study that have been made publicly available for others to review and use as a reference.

Executive Summary
Write an executive summary in the form of a blog article on the topic of "Research into Chinese medicine treatment for Amaranth" summarising the research below and using language that can be easily understood by patients and avoiding medical jargon using a professional and caring tone of voice.
Write an executive summary in the form of a blog article on the topic of "Researched Chinese medicine treatments for Amaranth" summarising the research below in an objective and easy to understand way, and using language that can be easily understood by patients. Group the article into Chinese medicine treatments first, followed by nutrition and other treatments. Avoid using medical jargon and use a professional and caring tone of voice.
Write me a concise but easy to understand executive summary on the topic of "Chinese medicine treatments for Amaranth" based on the following research that I will give you. Your summary should be 2 paragraphs long in Australian English spelling and include references to the studies.
A Experimental Study published in 2017 in the journal Natural Product Research found that Pumpkin seeds have a higher total phenolic compound content, but phenolic compounds from amaranth grains show stronger antiradical properties. The researchers extracted phenolic compounds from pumpkin seeds and amaranth grains using an 80% methanol solution. They then characterised these extracts by their total phenolic compound contents, antioxidant capacities, antioxidant power, and their antiradical activity against a given radical. The individual phenolic compounds were identified with a method known as high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection.
They found that pumpkin seeds had a higher total phenolic compound content than amaranth grains. However, phenolic compounds from amaranth grains demonstrated a stronger ability to neutralize the radical they were testing against. They also found several peaks on the chromatograms of two extracts, indicative of different compounds and their concentrations. Vanillic acid derivatives were confirmed in the amaranth grains, while in the pumpkin seeds, they identified three main phenolic compounds based on their ultraviolet diode-array detection spectra.
