Senolytics: How Supplements Targeting Cellular Aging Could Reduce Chronic Inflammation
Summary
This article discusses the emerging field of senolytics, which focuses on targeting aging itself as the root cause of common age-related diseases like heart disease, dementia, diabetes, and osteoarthritis. The author, a functional medicine practitioner, explains that aging is no longer seen as an uncontrollable mystery, and that senolytic supplements—concentrated compounds found in fruits and vegetables—may help reduce chronic inflammation, a key driver of the aging process.

· 4 pulledWhat advances in the biology of aging have made clear over the past decade or so is that aging itself is the root cause of disease.
Aging is no longer regarded as this fundamentally mysterious thing that will always be beyond our control.
We're beginning to come up with therapies that can slow these processes down.
Senolytics offer the potential to turn the dial down on chronic inflammation, one of the prime movers, if not the main one, behind the aging process.
