Plant compounds support longevity by boosting sirtuin activity, fighting cellular senescence, repairing DNA, supporting autophagy and mitochondrial health, and suppressing pro-inflammatory activity.

Our genes are not our destiny—rather, they are more like switches that can be turned on or off, sped up or slowed down, based on our diet, activity, stress, sleep patterns, and other lifestyle factors.

Research has shown that certain types of gut bacteria are linked to longer lives—while other harmful bacteria may increase mortality—and there are plenty of ways to nourish your microbiome to support healthy aging.

With its potential to combat cellular senescence and support weight management, cardiovascular health, and cognition, green tea extract is a promising candidate for your longevity routine.
