TEO Partners With MarketWell Nutrition to Launch Ovitage in North America - the World's Most Complete Collagen
Ovitage® is a premium New Zealand sheep collagen produced through TEO's patented extraction process, delivering exceptional bioavailability and efficacy. Combining Type I and Type III forms of collagen, Ovitage® supports skin elasticity, joint mobility, muscle recovery, and overall wellness. Sourced from New Zealand's ethical, grass-fed sheep farming sector, up-cycled Ovitage® is not linked to South American rainforest depletion (bovine collagen) or fishery depletion (marine collagen). In addition, unlike other forms of collagen, Ovitage® contains natural cystine, which accelerates collagen's already recognized benefits to hair, skin, and nails, among other benefits.
A Strategic Partnership for Market Growth
'We're excited to partner with MarketWell Nutrition to accelerate our go-to-market strategy,' said Paul Sapsford, Founder & Co-CEO of TEO. 'TEO brings powerful and proprietary science, a commitment to women's health, and robust supply capacity, while MarketWell adds deep market knowledge and insight into key trends and segments.

Unique Science, Unmet Market Needs
'New Zealand's traceable, ethically sourced sheepskins offer a collagen source that has been largely overlooked in the massive collagen market,' said Dr. Rob Kelly, Founder & CSO of TEO. 'Our patented Ovitage® process isolates unique proteins rich in amino acids like cystine, which supports hair, nails, and gut health in menopausal women, and branched-chain amino acids, which help maintain lean body mass in ageing adults.'

New Zealand proposes ban on card payment surcharges by 2026
The New Zealand government has put forward a proposal to ban surcharges on most debit and credit card transactions in retail settings, with the aim of implementing this change by May 2026, reported Reuters. The proposal follows a decision made by New Zealand's Commerce Commission last year to reduce the fees that local businesses incur for processing Visa and Mastercard payments. This initiative is projected to save consumers around NZ$150m ($90.2m) each year. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon was quoted by Reuters as saying: "We are scrapping surcharges at the till. New Zealanders are paying up to NZ$150m in surcharges every year. That's money that could be saved or spent elsewhere." He further noted, "You no longer will be penalised for your choice of payment method, whether that's tapping, swiping, or using your phone's digital wallet." However, the ban will not apply to online transactions or payments made with foreign-issued cards, as well as prepaid, travel, and gift cards, the report added. The Commerce Commission estimates that consumers currently incur approximately NZ$150m in surcharges annually, which includes up to NZ$65m in excessive charges. Commerce Minister Scott Simpson said: "Surcharges cover the fees businesses pay for accepting contactless payments and credit cards, but we know these are often excessive. In some cases, the retailer doesn't even make it clear what the percentage is." The government plans to present the bill to prohibit most card surcharges by the end of this year. Retailers in New Zealand typically charge around 0.7% for debit card transactions and up to 2% for credit card transactions, according to the Commerce Commission. In a similar context, Australia's central bank has recently proposed the removal of surcharges on most debit and credit card payments, indicating that the existing system no longer effectively encourages consumers to make more efficient payment choices.

Family of boy who died from brain-eating amoeba speaks out: 'Unimaginable'
The family of a 12-year-old boy from South Carolina is grieving after he died from a brain-eating amoeba, according to a statement from their lawyer. Jaysen Carr died on July 18 after developing an infection from the brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri, the statement shared by Bailey Law Firm said. The South Carolina Department of Public Health confirmed in a statement to USA TODAY on July 23 that a person died after being exposed to the amoeba earlier in July. Prisma Health Children's Hospital Midlands confirmed on July 22 that the person was treated at the facility but did not publicly identify the person. "The Carr family is incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love from the community and for the dedicated care provided by the doctors and nurses at Prisma Health Children's Hospital in the Midlands," the statement said. Brain-eating amoeba victim was 'bright and beloved' middle schooler The statement from the Carr family's lawyer said Jaysen was a "bright and beloved" middle school student. "His loss is unimaginable, and our hearts are with his family as they grieve their son and search for answers," the statement said. The legal team said it will "stand beside this family not only to seek the truth, but to help ensure no other family endures a loss like this." "We ask that you keep the Carrs in your thoughts and prayers and respect their privacy as they prepare to lay Jaysen to rest," Bailey Law Firm's statement said. Brain-eating amoeba: Person dies from Naegleria fowleri in South Carolina, officials say Family says boy was infected with brain-eating amoeba at SC lake The family's statement also said Jaysen Carr developed the infection after swimming at Lake Murray outside Columbia. The SCDPH said it also believed the exposure occurred at the lake. "We cannot be completely certain as this organism occurs naturally and is present in many warm water lakes, rivers and streams," the agency said. What is Naegleria fowleri? Why is it known as a brain-eating amoeba? Naegleria fowleri is a type of amoeba that can cause a rare but nearly always fatal brain infection. It thrives in warm freshwater lakes, rivers and hot springs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The amoeba is often referred to as brain-eating because it can cause an infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) that destroys brain tissue. Most people who have been in bodies of waters have been exposed to the amoeba, but contact alone is not harmful, Dr. Anna Kathryn Burch, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Prisma Health Children's Hospital Midlands, said during a news conference on July 22. "Where it can cause an issue is if forceful water gets up the nose and is able to cross from the nose into the brain," Burch said, adding that a PAM infection causes the brain to swell. To protect against a possible infection, the CDC recommends holding or wearing a nose clip when jumping into fresh water, keeping the head above water in hot springs and using distilled or boiled tap water when rinsing sinuses.

Israeli forces kill 63 Palestinian in Gaza within hours of ‘humanitarian pause'
The Israeli military killed at least 63 people across Gaza just hours after declaring daily 'pauses' in operations to facilitate the passage of humanitarian aid, health officials said. The military said on Sunday it would suspend operations daily from 10am until 8pm in parts of central and northern Gaza, including al-Mawasi, Deir el-Balah and Gaza City, and promised to open aid corridors from 6am to 11pm to let in food and medical supplies. However, within hours of the so-called 'humanitarian pause' taking effect, Israeli forces resumed air raids. One reported strike targeted a bakery in an area designated as a 'safe zone', according to Al Jazeera. The humanitarian crisis continued to worsen. Health officials reported six more deaths, including of two children, from starvation in the past 24 hours, taking the total to 133. Among the latest to succumb was five-month-old Zainab Abu Haleeb, who died of malnutrition at the Nasser Hospital. 'Three months inside the hospital and this is what I get in return, that she is dead,' her mother Israa Abu Haleeb told Al Jazeera. The World Food Programme said one in three people in Gaza had gone days without food and about half a million were experiencing famine-like conditions. More than 20 per cent of pregnant and breastfeeding women were malnourished, according to the World Health Organization. Israel maintains that it is working to improve aid access and denies that famine exists in Gaza. But aid organisations say the situation is catastrophic, with a quarter of the population at risk of acute malnutrition. UN officials say the crisis won't ease unless Israel speeds up the movement of aid convoys through its checkpoints. A top UN official said last week Palestinians were beginning to resemble 'walking corpses'. Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, said humanitarian workers were encountering children who were 'emaciated, weak and at high risk of dying' without immediate intervention. 'Families are no longer coping. They're breaking down, unable to survive,' Mr Lazzarini said. 'Their existence is threatened.' Israel has severely limited the flow of food and humanitarian aid into Gaza, allowing only a small number of trucks to enter each day after enforcing an 11-week total blockade earlier this year. UN officials warn the current level of aid is merely a drop in the ocean compared to the scale of need. The Israeli military intercepted an aid ship bound for Gaza that aimed to breach the blockade on the Palestinian territory, detaining 21 international activists and journalists and confiscating all cargo, including baby formula, food, and medicine, according to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition on Sunday. The group said Israeli forces 'violently intercepted' their vessel, Handala, in international waters around 40 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza, cutting off cameras and communication shortly before midnight on Saturday. 'All cargo was non-military, civilian and intended for direct distribution to a population facing deliberate starvation and medical collapse under Israel's illegal blockade,'' the group said in a statement. It was the second ship operated by the coalition that Israeli forces prevented in recent months from delivering aid to Gaza. It was reported on Sunday that Jordan and the UAE had begun airdropping aid into the besieged Palestinian territory. But Mr Lazzarini said 'airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation'. 'They are expensive, inefficient and can even kill starving civilians. It is a distraction & smokescreen,' he said in an X post. 'A manmade hunger can only be addressed by political will. Lift the siege, open the gates and guarantee safe movements with dignified access to people in need. Israel's war on Gaza has killed nearly 60,000 Palestinians, injured over 144,000, and left most of the densely populated coastal territory in ruins and the majority of its 2.2 million people homeless and starving. Israel launched the war in October 2023 after nearly 1,200 Israelis were killed and 251 taken hostage during a Hamas attack.
