We know exercise has many benefits. It decreases stress and it amps up your energy level. It strengthens your muscles and keeps your heart happy — not to mention it can even improve your sleep. But, it turns out, that’s not all. When we exercise, our muscles secrete myokines, which are small proteins that travel to the brain and serve to upload our mood and outlook on life. Also known as hope molecules, myokines can improve your overall health by reaching every major organ and positively impa...

When it comes to overall health and longevity, staying mentally agile and maintaining optimal brain function is key. In today's day and age, developments in science have played a role in introducing promising compounds. Two of which, Cognizin® Citicoline and BPC-157, both offer serious potential in supporting brain health and cognitive function. Cognizin® Citicoline is a naturally occurring compound found within every cell of the body, with especially high concentrations in the brain and ha...

The gut microbiota is incredibly diverse, consisting of trillions of microorganisms, each with its own distinct characteristics and functions. However, in this vast labyrinth of gut microbiota, one bacteria stands out: Akkermansia muciniphila, or Akkermansia for short.  With its potential as the "longevity probiotic" gaining traction, researchers have begun to unravel Akkermansia’s many benefits and abilities when it comes to promote healthy aging while also warding off age-related ailments.1...

When we think about improving our brainpower or learning abilities, eye health isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind. But our eyes do more than just help us see—they’re closely tied to how our brains function. Imagine someone navigating a busy city street. Their eyes are constantly taking in details like moving cars, traffic lights, and pedestrians, instantly relaying this information to the brain to make split-second decisions and keep them safe. This connection between sight and ...

Cold plunges, as unpleasant as they may seem, can potentially offer many health benefits, thanks to the body’s response to cold temperatures.  Derived from ancient Scandinavian traditions, cold exposure can trigger a range of reactions within the body, including vasoconstriction—or the narrowing of the blood vessels—and the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, ultimately promoting better circulation and supporting immune function as well as mental clarity. Cold plunges have also played ...

Introduction Longevity, the desire to extend our lifespan while preserving health and vitality, has been a fascination throughout human history. In the quest for longevity, medical science has made significant strides, unveiling the roles of cellular processes, senescent cells, mitochondrial function, and telomere health in the aging process. Alongside these breakthroughs, natural compounds have emerged as promising contenders in supporting healthy aging. This article delves into the cellular...

L-ergothioneine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that accumulates within cells, particularly in mitochondria. Mitochondria are cellular organelles known as the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for generating energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. The accumulation of L-ergothioneine within the mitochondria is due to a specific transporter protein known as OCTN1 (organic cation/carnitine transporter 1). This transporter is respons...

In the realm of healthy aging, a realm where time and science converge, lies a treasure trove of potent key nutrients and topical wonders that can transform the way we approach the aging process. Here we’ll explore the therapeutic properties of L-Baiba, ac-11 cat's claw, 2-HOBA, bergamot, and spermidine - ingested elixirs that nourish our very core while discovering the inherent powers of PTD-DBM, copper tripeptide-1, zinc thymulin, GHK-Cu, Argireline, and Leuphasyl - topical marvels that ado...
