110-year-old Turkish grandma shares her secret to a long life: โEat plenty of yogurt.โ


















UROLITHIN A - a next generation anti-aging mitochondrial enhancer. This molecule is synthesized by gut bacteria from polyphenols found in foods like pomegranate, and has some fascinating effects. Its primary mechanism of action is to stimulate a process called mitophagy - a mitochondrial quality control mechanism. Mitophagy essentially clears out old, damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria to make room for new, more functional ones. This downstream gives it a number of incredible effects: โ Inflammation reduction - by reducing oxidative stress caused by old mitochondria โ Lifespan extension - up ~19% in mice โ Improved muscle function โ Increased vascular capacity / health โ Possible benefits to gut microbiome It's still a relatively newly researched compound but shows some highly intriguing promise. Doses around ~500 mg in humans.
