Study summaries and research insights: what scientific research shows about ageing, energy, recovery, metabolism and the ingredients we work with.
Aspartame has been used as a sweetener for decades and is found in everything from sugar-free soft drinks to chewing gum and desserts. For many people, it has become a regular alternative to sugar—especially in products marketed for weight management or reduced calorie intake. At the same time, aspartame has long been the subject of […]
A recent study published in Aging Cell in 2025 offers detailed insight into what happens when cells lose their supply of NAD⁺, one of the body’s most essential molecules for energy and repair. The researchers found, among other things, that when cells lose NAD⁺, they don’t just slow down — they activate a defense mechanism […]
Scientists from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam recently published a comprehensive review titled “Alpha-Ketoglutarate dietary supplementation to improve health in humans [1].” In it, they explore a question that has been quietly shaping the field of longevity research: could a simple molecule that our body already produces be one of the keys to staying healthy as we age? table […]
As women age, their bones gradually lose density. This process accelerates after menopause, when oestradiol levels drop and the balance between bone building and bone breakdown shifts [1]. The result can be a slow but steady weakening of the skeleton, often leading to osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures later in life. table of contents […]
We know vitamin D as the “sunshine vitamin” that supports bone strength, immunity, and overall vitality. But new scientific evidence suggests it may also play a role in how we age at a cellular level. A major new study from 2025 published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined whether daily vitamin D3 (2,000 […]
table of contents Most of us assume that risky lifestyle habits only start to matter later in life. But evidence from Finland tells a different story. A rare 30-year project, the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development, tracked 326 people born in 1960 from their twenties into their sixties. At age 27, all […]
table of contents The global population is aging rapidly. By 2050, more than 20% of people worldwide will be over the age of 60. WHO, 2024 This shift brings clear challenges for health systems – but it also highlights something more fundamental: the importance of maintaining health, not just extending life. Healthy longevity isn’t achieved […]
table of contents “aw-TAH-fuh-jee” pronunciation What is autophagy? Autophagy is your body’s built-in cellular clean-up crew. It’s a natural process where cells break down and recycle their own damaged parts—think of it as spring cleaning at the microscopic level. This process is essential for maintaining cellular health, removing dysfunctional proteins and organelles, and ensuring your […]
L-Ergothioneine is a unique compound and a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your body from oxidative stress—the kind of damage linked to aging and many chronic diseases. What makes it even more intriguing is that your body can’t produce L-Ergothioneine on its own. You have to get it through your diet, mainly from mushrooms and […]
