Researchers Identify Key Cellular Changes Around Age 50 That Accelerate Aging

The Chinese Academy of Sciences' findings may explain why aging makes us sicker and suggest new ways to detect and reverse aging.

<p>Model: Cybrids composed of Rho0 cells with human platelet mitochondrial DNA from participants between 7 days old and 99 years old<br />
Dosage: 5 mM of n-Acetyl-L-Cysteine and 3 mM of nicotinamide riboside, with medium changed every three days until the cell population reached between 1 and 10 million</p>


New Study: Combining NR with NAC May Slow Telomere Shortening

New research suggests that nicotinamide riboside (NR) combined with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) prevents telomere shortening linked to genetic sequences within the cell’s powerhouse (mitochondria) in human cells.

A new study suggests the NAD+ precursor NR combined with the antioxidant NAC may counteract telomere shortening, a hallmark of aging.
