Key Points: Aging is a relentless biological process that affects every tissue in the body, and our joints are no exception. Osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative joint disorder, affects millions worldwide and is exacerbated by both aging and surgical trauma. While traditional treatments focus on managing pain and inflammation, emerging research suggests that metabolic interventions may… Continue reading Longevity Compound Thwarts Age-Related Joint Degeneration: New Study Reveals

Ergothioneine Boosts NAD+, Mitigates Muscle Aging, and Prolongs Life, New Study Shows
Key Points: In recent years, the quest for longevity has shifted towards not only extending life but also enhancing its quality—what scientists call “healthspan.” A fascinating study published in Cell Metabolism brings new insights into this field, highlighting the potential of a naturally occurring compound, found abundantly in mushrooms, called ergothioneine to significantly improve the… Continue reading Ergothioneine Boosts NAD+, Mitigates Muscle Aging, and Prolongs Life, New Study Shows
If Too Young, Rapamycin Isn’t the Anti-Aging Remedy for You, Says New Research
Key Points: Rapamycin — an FDA-approved drug originally prescribed to prevent organ transplant rejection — has become one of the most well-known drugs associated with longevity (living longer). This is because multiple studies have shown it prolongs mouse lifespan, the gold standard of longevity supplements and drugs. However, a new study shows that rapamycin may diminish muscle… Continue reading If Too Young, Rapamycin Isn’t the Anti-Aging Remedy for You, Says New Research
Can Senolytic Supplements Restore Hair Growth? What the New Research Says
Key Points: Scientists have recently identified senescent cells — age-promoting cells — as one of the root causes of aging. Senescent cells play a critical role in multiple age-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease, dementia, and cancer. However, little research has been done to determine how senescent cells affect hair loss, a familiar outward feature of aging. … Continue reading Can Senolytic Supplements Restore Hair Growth? What the New Research Says
Betaine Supplement Prevents Age-Related Loss of Muscle Size and Strength
Key Points: The latest research suggests our muscles peak in our early thirties, necessitating the need for building a muscle reserve during our younger years. This is because, after peaking, our muscle mass and strength gradually decline. Moreover, this age-related muscle decline usually accelerates at some point in our 50s or 60s. In addition to… Continue reading Betaine Supplement Prevents Age-Related Loss of Muscle Size and Strength
Urolithin A Side Effects, Benefits, and Dosage
Key Points: Animal studies demonstrate that supplementing with urolithin A (UA) prevents age-related muscle decline, and even prolongs lifespan by 18%. Whether these benefits apply to humans remains an open question, but it is becoming more apparent. Recently, researchers from the National University of Singapore reviewed the latest clinical trials testing the effects of UA… Continue reading Urolithin A Side Effects, Benefits, and Dosage
“Steroids Are Awesome” – But Here’s How They Accelerate Aging, Heart Disease, and Brain Decline, According to Jeff Nippard
Key Points: The controversy surrounding anabolic steroids has long captivated the fitness community. While their effectiveness in rapidly building muscle is undeniable for some individuals, the potential side effects can be severe and far-reaching. Jeff Nippard, a renowned lifetime natural bodybuilder and science-based fitness influencer, recently delved into this topic in a YouTube video titled… Continue reading “Steroids Are Awesome” – But Here’s How They Accelerate Aging, Heart Disease, and Brain Decline, According to Jeff Nippard
Bryan Johnson Injects 300 Million Stem Cells in Latest Longevity Ploy
Key Points: Bryan Johnson has spent millions of dollars in search of the most effective health interventions capable of slowing his speed of aging, developing his own anti-aging protocol called Blueprint. Now, the tech mogul is experimenting with stem cell therapy, a treatment he recently documented in one of his latest YouTube videos. “I’m flying… Continue reading Bryan Johnson Injects 300 Million Stem Cells in Latest Longevity Ploy
Can Boosting NAD+ Prevent Muscle Loss with Age?
Key Points: Without sufficient resistance exercise, our muscles tend to lose size and strength with aging. However, for 60-75% of older adults, resistance exercise isn’t enough to combat sarcopenia. While the reasons for this are unclear, it could potentially be related to depleted NAD+ levels. It follows that, for some individuals, replenishing NAD+ levels could… Continue reading Can Boosting NAD+ Prevent Muscle Loss with Age?
Caloric Restriction Preserves Muscle Strength Despite Muscle Loss: National Institute on Aging
Key Points: Cutting daily dietary calories (calorie restriction) has been shown to increase the lifespan and length of disease-free life (healthspan) in organisms from yeast to non-human primates. Human studies have shown that calorie restriction improves healthspan-related parameters such as enhanced metabolism and reduced inflammation. However, whether calorie restriction improves healthspan and lifespan via the… Continue reading Caloric Restriction Preserves Muscle Strength Despite Muscle Loss: National Institute on Aging
