Age-reversal research is rapidly accelerating. Bill Faloon summarized many of these findings at a scientific conference, including delayed aging using young plasma, resetting youthful gene expression with transcription factors, elongating telomeres with hyperbaric oxygen, the first human trial using CRISPR gene therapy, and other exciting developments.

What’s in Mushrooms That Supports Healthy Aging?
Increased mushroom consumption has been found to lower mortality risk. A specific mushroom compound is associated with enhanced longevity, reduced telomere shortening, and DNA repair.
Relief for Dry Eyes
Untreated dry eye syndrome can cause permanent eye damage. Clinical results show oral maqui berry boosts tear production by 89% and reduces eye discomforts.
Prevent Bone Loss with High-Dose Vitamin K2
High-dose vitamin K2 has been prescribed in Japan for osteoporosis for decades. Human trials show that 45 mg of vitamin K2 daily increases bone density and reduces fracture incidence.
Higher Omega-3 Blood Levels Add Healthy Years
A 2021 study found people with higher omega-3 blood levels live 4.7 years longer. Other studies link higher omega-3s to a 34% lower all-cause mortality risk.
NAC and Brain Aging
N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) restores cellular glutathione, a key antioxidant that drops with age. Studies suggest NAC reduces brain aging and the risk for neurodegenerative conditions.
