Does Ivermectin Kill Scabies Immediately?
Mark
Reading Time: 9 minutes. Ivermectin is highly effective against scabies but doesn’t kill mites immediately. It works by paralysing and immobilising the mites, preventing them from feeding and reproducing. This process may take a few days, and you’ll likely need two doses taken 7-14 days apart to fully eliminate the infestation, as ivermectin doesn’t kill the…

Maximising Muscle Performance With Creatine and Beta Alanine
Markus Kempus
Reading Time: 5 minutes. Creatine and beta alanine work synergistically to enhance muscle performance through distinct yet complementary mechanisms. Creatine rapidly regenerates ATP through phosphocreatine donation, while beta-alanine forms carnosine to buffer intracellular pH levels. This biochemical partnership optimises energy production and maintains ideal cellular conditions during intense exercise. Research demonstrates improved strength, power output,…
