Key Points Curcumin, a molecule abundantly found in the spice turmeric, has been proposed to work against age-related diseases like obesity and metabolic disorders. Along those lines, curcumin has been shown to reduce the accumulation of senescent cells — non-proliferative cells that release inflammatory proteins and which accrue with age. In doing so, curcumin likely… Continue reading Recent Study Shows Turmeric-Derived Curcumin Suppresses Inflammation and Reduces Weight Gain

New Study Shows NR Enhances Female Reproductive Lifespan and Promotes Fertility in Middle-Age
Key Points: Surmounting evidence indicates that restoring cellular NAD+ levels in old age can potentially treat several chronic diseases. While a given chronic disease is consequent of billions of dysfunctional cells, infertility can begin with the aberrant division of a single cell — the oocyte. Furthermore, faithful cellular division depends largely on sufficient energy supplied… Continue reading New Study Shows NR Enhances Female Reproductive Lifespan and Promotes Fertility in Middle-Age
NMN and NR Formulations Exert Similar Metabolic Health Effects: Latest International Study
Key Points: The original CMA was designed to restore NAD+ levels, promote fat metabolism, reduce inflammation, and increase glutathione — our most powerful natural antioxidant. Initially including NR, the CMA was previously shown to help treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and Alzheimer’s disease patients. Now, researchers based in the United States, Sweden, China, Turkey, Denmark,… Continue reading NMN and NR Formulations Exert Similar Metabolic Health Effects: Latest International Study
Study Reveals Synergistic Power of Metformin and Resveratrol in Combating Liver Deterioration
Key Points: Fat build-up in our liver ensues just after a few days of heavy drinking. Nevertheless, fat deposits can accumulate in our liver without consuming one drop of alcohol, a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The causes of NAFLD are largely unknown, thus far leaving scientists stumped on how to establish treatments.… Continue reading Study Reveals Synergistic Power of Metformin and Resveratrol in Combating Liver Deterioration
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
Scientists Successfully Increase Lifespan and Delay Brain Aging with New Prebiotic
Key Points: Our gut microbiome – an internal hub housing trillions of nutrient-boosting microorganisms, including bacteria and other microbes – is emerging as a central modulator of health and wellness. Studies have linked poor gut health to a myriad of harmful aged-related conditions like diabetes, cancer, and central nervous system complications that affect the brain.… Continue reading Scientists Successfully Increase Lifespan and Delay Brain Aging with New Prebiotic
Study Shows Curcumin Boosts Physical Performance
Key Points: Aging leads to increased exercise fatigue, and despite numerous therapies used to treat exercise fatigue, they all come with side effects. A recent study shows that curcumin, a component of turmeric used for centuries in Chinese medicine, may be able to treat exercise fatigue with minimal side effects through its effects on energy… Continue reading Study Shows Curcumin Boosts Physical Performance
Cornell Scientists Repurpose Cancer Drugs to Rejuvenate Weight-Loss Promoting Beige Fat Cells
Key Points: In response to cold, our fat stem cells have the remarkable capability of developing into beige fat cells. Once generated, beige fat cells burn the sugar and fats circulating in our bloodstream to produce heat instead of energy. However, our stem cells decline with age, and the beiging process begins to fail as… Continue reading Cornell Scientists Repurpose Cancer Drugs to Rejuvenate Weight-Loss Promoting Beige Fat Cells
Taking Vitamin B9 Enhances Memory and Counters Brain Deterioration, Study Finds
Key Points: Proper nourishment is critical to maintaining the aging brain’s resilience and vitality. Failure to do so makes this nimble organ increasingly vulnerable to damage, leading to cognitive dysfunction and memory decline. Of the many brain-boosting vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, researchers have pinpointed folic acid (vitamin B9) as central to nervous system health and neuronal… Continue reading Taking Vitamin B9 Enhances Memory and Counters Brain Deterioration, Study Finds
A New Pharmaceutical Targeting Both NAD⁺ and mTOR Pathways Shows Efficacy Against NASH and ALS
Key Points The geroscience hypothesis proposes that a therapeutic treating an underlying aging process should prevent multiple age-related diseases. Two examples of pathways that researchers have targeted to treat multiple aging-associated conditions are NAD+ metabolism and the mTOR pathway. Yet how these two pathways relate to one another and whether drugs can target both simultaneously… Continue reading A New Pharmaceutical Targeting Both NAD⁺ and mTOR Pathways Shows Efficacy Against NASH and ALS
