Rethinking Antioxidants and Aging: When Do They Actually Work?

from Foodnourish Deep Dives · host Pavlos Giorkas

In today's episode we're exploring the surprising truth about Antioxidants and Aging.For years, these supplements were hailed as miracles, then dismissed as useless or even harmful. We’ll reveal why your age determines if they help or hurt.While young people might blunt their exercise gains with supplements, those over 45 face a "tipping point" where oxidative stress becomes a wildfire.We discuss a major new study showing how specific precursors like GlyNAC can restore balance, boosting muscle strength and physical function when combined with exercise.References:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12491480/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9879756/Support our work:Make a small donation.
