A recent study described a process called ferro-aging, in which iron accumulation leads to oxidative damage and cellular senescence. This process can be delayed by Vitamin C [1]. A two-faced atom Iron, like many components of biological systems, has two faces. On the one hand, it’s essential for developmental and metabolic processes [2, 3]. On...

A recent study analyzed data from over 15,000 participants and their intake of 11 vitamins, and the results suggested that higher vitamin intake, particularly of Vitamins C and B2, is associated with slower biological aging [1]. Beneficial molecules One of the easiest and most accessible ways to improve health and lifespan is to consume a...

In a randomized, controlled trial published in Nutrients, researchers tested supplementation with resveratrol, vitamin C, and a combination of both. They learned that all of the treatments had a similar positive impact on oxidative stress in postmenopausal women [1]. Menopausal transition Around the world, a significant proportion of women have reached the post-menopausal stage. In...

Korean scientists publishing in Nature were able to increase the stability of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, using a short, engineered DNA molecule called an aptamer. The result improved various aspects of brain aging in naturally aged mice [1]. The unstable antioxidant Oxidative stress is one of the most harmful age-related processes. In particular, it...
