'Zombie Cells' Are Still Alive But Can't Function, And They Accumulate as We Age

Well, that's a relief...

Urolithin A and GlyNAC can resuscitate these cells. Urolithin A replaces the mitochondria (energy producers) and GlyNAC gets rid of chronic inflammation directly within the cells.

Senolytics can help remove the cells, as well.

There are now multiple approaches to chip away at these once thought to be permanent issues.

If you follow the admonition of Clint and don’t let the old man in, there can be no zombie cells

I love some aspects of science, in every field, when the “onion” of knowledge keeps getting peeled back further and further: revealing complexities, whether molecular or astronomical, never before realized.

We must always admit that all we know is not all it is possible to know, about anything, and that will likely never change.

G-d’s designs are just amazing, and it is clearer and clearer they are designs and not random accidents.

Patricia Opresko and Mr. Barnes have written a very easy to understand article for the layman.

They wrote: "Senescent – or 'zombie' – cells accumulate with age. They can be beneficial to health by promoting senescence in nearby cells at risk of becoming cancerous and attracting immune cells to clear out cancer cells."

Then, a bit later in the article, they wrote: "Researchers are also developing drugs called senolytics that can either kill zombie cells or prevent them from developing in the first place."

Sounds like a delicate dance, killing certain bad zombie cells but letting other good zombie cells live.

I started glyNAC two months ago. So far, so good...

Some natural compounds are effective senolytic agents, such as quercetin, fisetin, piperlongumine and a curcumin analog.

BRRAAIINNSS!

Your body can make Urolithin A from pomegranate, but it doesn’t always work well. Do you know of a good source of reasonably-priced Urolithin A?

[ConservativeMind]

Amazon has the Nestle form (Celltrient Cellular Strength) for 15% off through a subscription.

That's the best price, new, that I've found, but Ebay also has some.

Only 40% of people were found to be able to make it, due to bacteria in their guts. The amount of Urolithin A in the supplement is fairly higher than the best human subjects saw from fruit.

It is, because my wife felt like a Zombie this morning. Now we know why.

[Deplorable American1776]

Did they do research on Joe’s brains. I believe it is zombie cells.

[dforest]

Can we buy them now at CVS?

[ckilmer]

how much are you taking?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I gotta get my wife to drink real coffee!

A number of studies in mice have found that removing zombie cells can promote healthy aging

600 mg each, empty stomach, half hour before eating:

GlyNAC improves multiple defects in aging to boost strength and cognition in older humans (Some defects “reversed to the levels found in young adults” - eGFR up 15%, IL-6 down 77%, TNFa down 40%, Fasting Insulin down 55%, etc.)
