Is your body aging faster than it should? The science behind inflammaging and how to fight it
As we age, our bodies undergo changes that can cause a mild but constant inflammation known as inflammaging. This chronic inflammation is linked to conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, certain natural mechanisms, like sirtuins, can help counteract these effects. In particular, SIRT1 plays a key role in regulating inflammation […]
Sirtuin activation and the 12 hallmarks of aging
Aging is a complex process that affects all living beings. As we age, our cells and organs undergo a series of changes that make them more vulnerable to various diseases. But what really causes these changes? And, most importantly, is there anything we can do about it? The 12 signs of aging Scientific research has […]
How to enhance SIRT1 for healthy and active aging
Aging is a complex biological process that affects all multicellular organisms, characterized by a progressive decline in cellular function and increased vulnerability to diseases. This phenomenon manifests through physiological changes impacting overall health, such as DNA damage accumulation, increased oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation, among others. These factors are closely linked to the development of […]
Beyond antioxidants
Understanding oxidative stress Oxidative stress is a condition that arises when there is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body’s ability to neutralize these harmful molecules. ROS are highly reactive molecules that can damage various cellular components, including lipids, proteins, and DNA. This damage can lead to a range […]
Improving Health Span: The Key to Longevity and Healthy Ageing
What is longevity? In demography, we define longevity as “length of life” or “life expectancy”. The most commonly used measure is “life expectancy at birth”, which considers all causes of death at all ages for a specific generation. What are the main factors that influence longevity? Significant factors contributing to a high life expectancy at birth include […]
What are Longevity supplements?
An Aging Population Presents Opportunities for the Longevity Supplement Market As the world’s population ages, interest in longevity supporting supplements has grown. Older adults are looking for more convenient and simple ways to support healthy aging and help them maintain functional abilities for as long as possible. For manufacturers of longevity supplements, this presents a […]
What is Pterostilbene?
Pterostilbene is a molecule that is naturally found in vegetables, nuts and fruits, particularly blueberries. Specifically, pterostilbene belongs to a class of substances called stilbenes; a class that also includes the well-known resveratrol. While chemically related to resveratrol, pterostilbene has greater oral bioavailability and can provide many benefits. How Pterostilbene Compares to Resveratrol Resveratrol has […]
