This chemical plays many roles in human biology. Found in grapefruit, spermidine is one of the more interesting polyamines. Some research suggests that spermidine may slow down aging and promote healthy longevity. What is spermidine? Spermidine is a polyamine, meaning it has two or more primary amino groups. It is naturally occurring and is widely encountered in ribosomes and living […]

We take a look at this popular natural phenol and dietary supplement. Probably best known for its presence in grapes and wine, this popular dietary supplement may have a few tricks up its sleeve. What is resveratrol? Resveratrol is a stilbenoid, a type of natural phenol. It is a phytoalexin, a growth-inhibiting substance created by plant […]

We explore Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide and How it Relates to Aging Welcome to part two of a two-part series exploring NAD+ biology; you can find part one here. There are already a myriad of excellent reviews on NAD+ biology in general [1-3], so, in this article, we will be mainly focusing on the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide […]

We explore Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide and how it relates to aging. This is part one of a two-part article where we take a look at NAD+ biology, its history, how it relates to the biology of aging, and the potential for therapeutic interventions via the so-called NAD+ precursors. What is NAD+? Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) […]

Found in chamomile, this flavonoid has traditional uses that can be biochemically explained. This active ingredient in chamomile tea has traditionally been used to ease anxiety and reduce stress. We investigate if the scientific studies support this traditional use and how it relates to aging. What is apigenin? Apigenin is a very common and widely […]

We take a look at the supplement Alpha-lipoic acid Alpha-lipoic acid (also known as ALA) is a common supplement, and we take a look at it in the context of aging. What is alpha-lipoic acid? Alpha-lipoic acid is an organosulfur (an organic compound that contains sulfur) derived from caprylic acid (also known as octanoic acid). […]

AKG has attracted attention recently and may help slow down aging. Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) has long been a popular sports supplement and is often used in the bodybuilding world, but interest in this molecule has now reached the aging research field due to its central role in metabolism. What is alpha-ketoglutarate? AKG is a naturally occurring […]

Epithalamin According to a randomized comparative study that lasted 15 years in elderly people with premature aging of the cardiovascular system, it was found that application of Khavinson peptide supplement known as “Epithalamin” slows down the progression of aging and reduces the mortality rate. By the end of this experiment, 16 of 40 (40%) patients […]

The process of aging is predetermined evolutionary. According to UN statistics, the number of older adults is constantly rising worldwide. It is valid for both absolute numbers and percentage-wise. This process would undoubtedly create challenges related to public health and social welfare. In terms of evolution, the global aging of the population necessitates the need […]

Nowadays, people talk a lot about copper peptides as a beauty trend. But what are these peptides, and how do they work? People gradually lose collagen and elastin needed to keep the skin smooth and firm in a normal aging process. In addition, some habits, including smoking and overexposure to the sun, may speed up […]
