Based on current scientific evidence, Dutch researchers have ranked existing anti-aging interventions based on how likely they are to protect against DNA damage and aging.

<p>Model: Young C57BL/6J mice fed a high protein (56% of daily calories) diet for 20 weeks </p>
<p>Dosage: Injection with either 400 mg/kg of NMN or 20 mg/kg of 78c for 4 weeks</p>


High protein intake improves the body composition of aged mice, but it lowers NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) levels and promotes metabolic aging.

How to Boost Mitochondrial Tissue 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.
