The twin aspects of healthy aging are the extension of health span and life span. Here we will focus on the latter not about getting off the couch more easily with no joint pain adding life to your years but actually adding more years to your life. A number of scientific targets are being investigated to this end extending or maintaining telomere length, improving cellular health, the mitochondrial theory of aging, inflammaging, epigenetics and nutrigenomics. We will talk with pioneers of the pursuit, and will dig into leading natural bioactives like resveratrol, alpha keto-glutarate, nicotinamide riboside (NR) and NMN, and using AI to unlock stem cell proteins used to extend life span.
From sales trends to new ingredient indications and supply chain concerns, Natural Products Insider has highlighted some stories from the past year that we will be reporting on further in 2024.
