Mayo Clinic Scientists: Prolonging Human Lifespan by Combining NAD⁺ Boosters and Senolytics
Key Points: Scientists are beginning to identify the underlying causes of aging. The hope is that targeting these underlying causes, called the hallmarks of aging, can prevent or delay multiple leading causes of death, including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Under this new paradigm, death — the inevitable end of life — can be postponed. … Continue reading Mayo Clinic Scientists: Prolonging Human Lifespan by Combining NAD⁺ Boosters and Senolytics
Tech Millionaire Bryan Johnson Takes NAD⁺ Boosters to Become 16 Again
Key Points: Recently, Bryan Johnson — a successful entrepreneur worth an estimated $400 million — has made headlines by revealing his results from swapping blood with his son and father. Although Johnson’s day job includes his roles as the CEO of Kernel and OS Fund, he’s making waves for his personal mission to slow down… Continue reading Tech Millionaire Bryan Johnson Takes NAD⁺ Boosters to Become 16 Again

Study Suggests Optimal Age to Begin Senolytic Supplementation to Maximize Anti-Aging Benefits
Key Points: Fisetin and D+Q are known for their anti-aging effects when administered to older rodents. Because of this, and the fact that they are available without a prescription, many individuals have begun supplementing with fisetin or Q — both plant-derived flavonoids. However, studies exploring the effects of these senolytics when administered to younger rodents… Continue reading Study Suggests Optimal Age to Begin Senolytic Supplementation to Maximize Anti-Aging Benefits

Breaking News: Harvard Study Shows Lower Oxygen Levels Drive Longer Lifespan
Key Points: Oxygen is the ubiquitous element that exists in nearly all living organisms, continuously influencing energy-producing pathways. In an effort to boost health, scientists developed a treatment known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT), designed to provide individuals with higher levels of pure oxygen. The research surrounding the health benefits of HOT is still in… Continue reading Breaking News: Harvard Study Shows Lower Oxygen Levels Drive Longer Lifespan
