Sounds like they’re trying for a super-soldier formula.

You can get Quercetin at GNC plus if you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables you can get it that way. I picked up some Quercetin tonight just to see if its any good. I read its not very bioavailable via the pill route. If anyone is going to try this they do need to take more than than the one caplet daily of else it would probably be worthless but its that way with most supplements. I’ve been taking ALA and ALCAR for a long time on and off and I do notice a benefit the biggest thing I notice is my vision acuity here’s one study pertaining to that.

The key to staying young is exercise. We are already blessed with abundance of healthy foods readily available at affordable prices. Exercise will strengthen heart and blood circulation, burn up excessive sugar and fats in your blood and body, enhance your metabolism so calories are burned more efficiently, reduce degeneration of joints especially knee and hip.

Find some form of exercise which does not bore you to death. I tried exercise clubs, but they were boring. Chlorine on Swimming pools are hard on my skin and hair. Only exercise which lasts 4 hours without boring me is golf.

My personal senolyitics? I run a couple of times a week, and lift 3 or so.

Since retiring then de-retiring (I got my CDL at age 70) I am always on the look out for physically challenging jobs.

They pay me to keep fit.

If you want your eyes to get better, try a small amount of DMSO daily.

If you or a loved one has taken senolytics and have experienced any of the following, premature ejaculation, drooling, pooping or peeing in pants, or any other complications associated with infancy, call the law firm of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe.

You may be entitled to a cash award.

These guys are way behind naturopathic doctors. This stuff has been widely known - about senescent cells, aging, and quercetin for a long time. Especially about naturopath doctors dealing with cancer treatment.

Because in many aspects treating cancer and treating anti-aging overlap. Lots of the same problems that cause cancer to arise are the same conditions that cause cellular aging and aptosis.

I agree. I’ll stick to healthy foods and exercise. Not one cell in the human body is made up of a drug.

Hearing some very good things about this stuff from a friend who has been taking it. Finally broke down and ordered it myself but it hasn’t arrived yet so I am not making any claims.

If it works the way it’s claimed, it does what they talk about in this article. Diet and exercise remain important, but metabolic repair might just be the ticket to slowing things down to give other areas of science time to catch up.

I’ve also read about telomeres. From Swanson Vitamins site...”Shortening may be responsible for cellular senescence. Each time a cell divides, telomeres are shortened. The telomerase enzyme appears to help offset this phenomenon, keeping telomeres long even as cells divide and replicate.”

Exactly. And it’s not surprising that progress is being made when you think about it. Everyone gets old, most people are unhappy with that. People with significant amounts of money are unhappier than most and they can’t take it with them — so there is a lot of dough being thrown at the problem.

Whenever you get that much research money, that much brain power, that much motivation — results will be forthcoming.

No natural penicillin in the body either - or other manufactured antibiotics for the most part....

I agree with the healthy foods and exercise bit though - at 62 I can stretch the capabilities of my BowFlex and run over 10 miles because I spent most of my life in active exercise. I will fess up to occasionally tapping some of the GNC products though.
