What Is Cellular Aging?

As folks get older, many often notice they…

• Have less overall energy
• Don’t have the stamina they once did
• Experience more brain fog
• Find it harder to consistently get a “good night’s rest”
• Don’t think as quickly and clearly

These are all common signs of cellular aging, and while they may seem inevitable, the truth is that, in many cases, cellular aging (and these outward signs) can be traced back to something you likely learned about back in your middle and high-school biology classes: your mitochondria.

Just to jog your memory, mitochondria are known as the “power plants” of all living things, including us. That is, they are the components of our cells responsible for providing energy in the form of a molecule called ATP. In fact, the mitochondria produce about 95% of the body’s energy.

To put it into perspective, it’s estimated that there are over 30 TRILLION cells in the human body, and each cell may contain hundreds of mitochondria, which are especially prevalent in the brain, heart, and muscles. Both mitochondrial number and performance are critical.

Here’s another way to think about it, according to Dr. Alvin Danenberg, “Just as a flashlight requires fresh and strong batteries to shine its light brightly, so do our cells require healthy and peak-performing mitochondria to create the energy for our cells to do their jobs efficiently.”

The truth is the traditional view of mitochondria as “power plants” (while accurate) is incomplete. For example, suboptimal mitochondrial health and performance is linked to cellular aging and other age-related health complaints—including certain outward signs of cellular aging you may be noticing.

What Causes Cellular Aging?

Naturally, you may be wondering… what should you look for in a healthy aging support supplement to help support the body’s defense against cellular aging and to help support mitochondria health?

These are important questions researchers have been looking into, and it appears that suboptimal mitochondria performance arises from:

• An inadequate number of mitochondria as a result of aging
• An inability to provide the necessary materials (e.g., fats, carbs) to mitochondria due to diet
• Suboptimal electron transport and ATP-synthesis

Say what?!? Exactly… Since that may sound a bit like a foreign language, allow us to translate. Going back to our “power plant” metaphor, what this means is that suboptimal mitochondrial performance results from:

1. A reduction in the number of “power plants”
2. A “transportation issue” preventing the raw materials from getting into the “power plant”
3. An insufficient number of “workers” on the "assembly line"

With that in mind, you may be wondering… are there factors that accelerate cellular aging and compromise mitochondrial health? Better yet, is there anything you can do to support your body’s ability to combat cellular aging? Is it possible for a healthy aging support supplement to support mitochondrial health? The answer is a resounding YES.

First, let’s address some of those factors that seem to accelerate cellular aging and contribute to suboptimal mitochondrial performance:

• Periodic stress
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Poor nutrition and overeating
• Consuming too many omega-6 fats and not enough omega-3 fatty acids
• Not consistently getting as much sleep as you should

Although this is not an exhaustive list, you likely get the point. There are many lifestyle and environmental factors, which are sometimes referred to as gerontogens, that accelerate cellular aging and reduce mitochondrial performance. Believe it or not, there is a common denominator between the factors listed above and suboptimal mitochondrial performance: excessive oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress, which has long been thought to play a central role in cellular aging (which is called cellular senescence) and the aging of various tissues of the body (like the skin, for example), is defined as “a disturbance in the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (i.e., free radicals) and antioxidant defenses.”

Hint, hint… one of the most important things you can look for to promote healthy aging is a supplement that supports mitochondrial health and provides antioxidants to help promote the body’s antioxidant status to support healthy aging from the inside-out.

What Makes Ageless Body a Great Choice for a Healthy Aging Support Supplement?

When it comes to choosing a healthy aging support supplement, you want antioxidant and mitochondrial support. With Ageless Body, that is precisely the name of the game. In CoQ10, CurcuWIN^® turmeric extract, Sensoril^® Ashwagandha, Setria^® glutathione, and vitamin C, you have a strong cast of antioxidants on your side to support the body’s ability to combat cellular aging and support mitochondria health and performance.^{Footnote †}

Curcumin is a figurative two-headed antioxidant monster, so to speak, as curcumin itself is an antioxidant, and it also supports the body’s antioxidant network to help support mitochondria health and performance. Ageless Body healthy aging support supplement features CurcuWIN^® enhanced turmeric extract, which offers significantly greater absorption and longer lasting action than ordinary curcumin.^{Footnote †}

No healthy aging support supplement should be without glutathione, which is often referred to as the body’s “master antioxidant”. But glutathione is not just any antioxidant, it is the main line of defense for the maintenance and repair of mitochondria. Setria^® Glutathione supports the body’s levels of this master antioxidant, which is vital to support a healthy antioxidant status, healthy immune system, detoxification, and more.^{Footnote †}

Ashwagandha, which is prized for its rejuvenating and energizing effects, not only supports mitochondrial performance, it also helps support resilience and a healthy stress response. Ageless Body healthy aging support supplement features Sensoril^® Ashwagandha extract, which supports healthy energy levels, stress management, restful sleep, and feelings of well-being.^{Footnote †}

In addition to being an antioxidant, CoQ10 is a key component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. You can think of it as the “foreman” of the “assembly line,” and along those lines, CoQ10 (which gets depleted with age, by the way) is vital for cellular energy production.^{Footnote †} Like glutathione, CoQ10 is a healthy aging support supplement staple.

Finally, Vitamin C, one of the most widely recognized antioxidants, also supports mitochondria health. Vitamin C also helps  provide support for skin and joint health by supporting the body’s production of collagen.^{Footnote †}

We truly believe Ageless Body sets the bar when it comes to mitochondria and healthy aging support supplements, and we’re confident you’ll agree!
