A new study from the University of Bath has found that cannabidiol (CBD) products do not provide effective relief for…
Innovations in age supplements enhance longevity
The longevity industry is rapidly expanding, with advances in cellular reprogramming, AI, and big data pushing the boundaries of anti-aging…
Biohackers like Bryan Johnson take NMN supplements to help reverse ageing
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) supplements are popular for their purported anti-ageing benefits, yet there is insufficient human research to support these…
Researcher favors fish oil, magnesium, and ashwagandha to support mood, stress control, and training
A clinical psychologist who studies supplements, Dr. Adrian Lopresti, says his own routine centers on three products chosen for mental…

Fish oil supplements may be worthless
Studies have shown that the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish such as salmon and mackerel provide health benefits, but…
Senolytic: a molecule that selectively kills senescent cells
Senolytics are a class of drugs designed to selectively eliminate senescent cells, which accumulate with age and contribute to aging-related…
Creatine supplement may help relieve some long COVID symptoms
Research shows that creatine has many benefits, including help improve strength and power, and support recovery between workouts. Creatine also appears to have a positive effect on some self-reported long COVID symptoms (but not physical fatigue). More research is needed.
NMN: current clinical trials point toward NMN safety
NMN is a molecule that may be useful in slowing down some aspects of aging. NMN is a precursor of NAD+.
NAD+ serves many critical functions in human cells, such as electron transport, cell signaling, and DNA repair, and is essential in processes like metabolism, cell death, aging, DNA repair, gene expression, or neuroinflammation.
Rapamycin may slow aging in animals and help older immune systems
Rapamycin is a credible anti aging candidate based on strong animal data and early human immune results, but it is not yet proven to extend human lifespan. More randomized trials in people are in progress.
Matcha can be healthy in small, unsweetened servings, say experts
Matcha is a safe, potentially beneficial drink when used in moderation and without added sugar, but its reputation still runs…
