Key Points: Modern human society and medical technology have negated many of natural selection’s effects, allowing more people to live longer. However, an epidemic of poor lifestyle choices, along with the pollutants manufactured by modern society, perpetuate chronic conditions such as lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. Thus, while we tend to live longer, many… Continue reading Anti-Aging Supplement Rapamycin Increases Muscle and Reduces Pain: New Results

Breakthrough Alzheimer’s Treatment Achieves Historic FDA Stamp of Approval
Highlights: In the realm of neurodegenerative disorders, Alzheimer’s is arguably one of the most devastating diseases, afflicting more than 6.5 million people in the U.S. alone. And although no real cure exists, the available research suggests that compounds capable of extinguishing amyloid beta plaques are promising therapeutics to mitigate this deadly disease. Accordingly, preliminary clinical… Continue reading Breakthrough Alzheimer’s Treatment Achieves Historic FDA Stamp of Approval
NR and CoQ10 Improve Kidney Function: Latest Study
Key Points About 15% of US adults have chronic kidney disease, and as many as 90% of adults with chronic kidney disease don’t know they have it. Those with severe kidney disease often suffer from declining muscle function, precipitating frailty for some. Along those lines, researchers propose that declining mitochondrial metabolism facilitates declining physical function… Continue reading NR and CoQ10 Improve Kidney Function: Latest Study
Clinical Study Shows Calorie Restriction Slows Pace of Aging in Healthy Adults
Key Points Calorie restriction, which has been shown to slow aging in animals, showed signs of slowing biological aging in the first-ever study of the effects of long-term calorie restriction on healthy, non-obese humans, shows a study published in Nature Aging. The two-year Phase 2 randomized controlled trial found that the intervention effect represented a… Continue reading Clinical Study Shows Calorie Restriction Slows Pace of Aging in Healthy Adults
New Human Study Shows NMN Substantially Increases NAD⁺ and Enhances Physical Performance
Key Points Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) functions as a precursor molecule to the pro-longevity molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Studies using rodents have shown that NMN supplementation increases blood NAD+ levels, along with improving endurance and cardiovascular health. Whether such findings translate to humans has given mixed results from clinical trials. Some clinical studies suggest that… Continue reading New Human Study Shows NMN Substantially Increases NAD⁺ and Enhances Physical Performance
Elysium Scientists Combine NAD⁺ Booster with Sirtuin Activator to Reduce Inflammation in Liver Disease
Key Points: Approximately 1 billion people worldwide have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), characterized by fat accumulation and inflammation. Rodent studies have shown that combating this rampant condition entails activating pro-longevity proteins called sirtuins. Along with sirtuin activating compounds (STACs) like pterostilbene, increasing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels with the supplements NR or nicotinamide mononucleotide… Continue reading Elysium Scientists Combine NAD⁺ Booster with Sirtuin Activator to Reduce Inflammation in Liver Disease
USC Scientists Reveal that Fasting-Mimicking Diet Reduces Brain Pathology and Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s
Key Points: Feeding an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mouse model a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) improves their cognition. FMD also increases new neuron production (neurogenesis) while reducing inflammation in AD mouse brains. In humans with mild AD, FMD appears to be safe and feasible. While many of us, including pharmaceutical companies, hope that AD can be cured… Continue reading USC Scientists Reveal that Fasting-Mimicking Diet Reduces Brain Pathology and Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s
UCLA Scientists Show Young Blood Improves Kidney Function and Reverses Biological Age
Key Points: Older adults treated with umbilical cord plasma for 10 weeks have improved kidney function. Plasma treatment leads to no adverse reactions. Treatment decreases morbidity and mortality risks based on age-related DNA changes. Plasma exchange — where one’s blood plasma is exchanged for healthier, donor plasma — is considered standard treatment for various diseases,… Continue reading UCLA Scientists Show Young Blood Improves Kidney Function and Reverses Biological Age
Baylor College Scientists Reverse Signs of Aging with Antioxidant Cocktail in Older Adults
Key Points: Supplementing older adults with GlyNAC restores cognition, boosts physical function, and mitigates insulin resistance — a condition that can lead to diabetes. GlyNAC raises natural antioxidant defenses to reduce inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress — damage caused to cells by excessive reactive oxygen species. The beneficial effects of GlyNAC treatment disappear 12… Continue reading Baylor College Scientists Reverse Signs of Aging with Antioxidant Cocktail in Older Adults
