How to Boost Mitochondrial Density and Quality for Longevity

Lifestyle hacks contrived to promote the tissue density and quality of mitochondria (the cell’s powerhouses) can aid in the efficient generation of cellular energy and reduce inflammation, thereby promoting longevity.

Exercise, nutritional support, and lifestyle hacks like cold exposure can all help mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction, a key hallmark of aging.

New Study Shows Cranberry Extract Equivalent to Metformin in Fighting Aging

Fayoum University researchers found that cranberry polyphenols improve metabolic markers, cognition, and oxidative stress to the same degree as the drug metformin.

A new study suggests cranberry extract has effects against aging that rival metformin.

<p>Model: 22-month-old male C57BL/6NIH mice </p>
<p>Dosage: 400 mg/kg of NR for eight weeks, administered in food</p>


Treating aged mice with the NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) precursor NR (nicotinamide riboside) improves memory and reduces pro-inflammatory immune cells.

How to Support Muscle Function with Age: Top Evidence-Based Supplements

Data suggest certain supplements, such as L-carnitine, vitamin D, and essential minerals, support muscle function and physical performance in adults of advanced age.

Researchers from University College London review data supporting that supplements, like vitamin D, L-carnitine, and essential minerals, support muscle function during aging.
