Aging disrupts youthful cell- signaling pathways leading to whole-body degeneration. Seeking to mitigate this cellular deficit, researchers used artificial intelligence (A.I.) to assess tens of thousands of signaling pathways. Their findings uncovered three nutrients that can modulate many of the same anti-aging pathways as the drug metformin, and help restore youthful cell signaling.
Reports
Boron
Boron plays a crucial role in maintaining bone health and has important anti-cancer properties. Studies show that boron interferes with the life cycle of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a contributing factor in approximately 95% of all cervical cancers.
Benfotiamine Improves Cognition in Alzheimer’s Patients
Elevated blood sugar impacts the brain and can lead to cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s. A groundbreaking study showed that benfotiamine can improve cognition in these patients.
Are You Getting the Full Benefits of Drinking Green Tea?
The key factor behind green tea’s many health benefits lies in its rich polyphenol content. A patented processing technology has led to a rich-tasting new tea in quick-dissolving crystal form that boasts three times the polyphenol content of regular green teas.
Homocysteine and Hearing Loss
Recent studies indicate that hearing loss involves damage to brain cells that support hearing—and that elevated homocysteine contributes to this loss. Low-cost B vitamins combat the dangers of high homocysteine and may help prevent age-related hearing loss.
Topical Melatonin Promotes Youthful Skin
The age-related decline in melatonin is a factor in skin-aging. Human research shows that topically applied melatonin initiates nightly skin repair and renewal.
Who Needs Digestive Enzymes?
As we age, our body produces fewer digestive enzymes. Without these enzymes, undigested food passes into the colon, causing bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Supplementing with digestive enzymes before meals assists in the proper breakdown of starch, proteins, fats, cellulose, and milk.

Novel Healthy Longevity Strategy
Aging results in altered cell-to-cell signaling that causes systemic degeneration. Utilizing deep-learning artificial intelligence, scientists have identified a method to restore more youthful cell signaling. This may facilitate leaner body mass, improved cognition, reduced inflammation, more youthful gene expression, and improved cell protein stability.
