09 The Small Molecules of Longevity- what supplements really work?
Discover the Secrets of Small Molecules for Longevity in the latest episode of the Human Longevity Podcast with Dr. Melissa Petersen. Join us on an illuminating journey into groundbreaking research and data that separates hype from reality in the quest to slow down biological aging. Special guest Tom Weldon, CEO of Ponce de Leon Health and Rejuvant, reveals the transformative potential of small molecules and the critical role of calcium alpha-ketoglutarate and how this molecule is stacking up against NMN, Resveratrol, Rapamyocin, and more in aging reversal. We discuss the newest study published in Aging looking at the top 6 performing longevity molecules to reverse cellular aging and promote rejuvenation of the cell and tissues. Get a peek behind the clinical trial process of what it takes to really bring new molecules to market and discover why more is NOT always better in delivering actual results. This and more will be shared as we look at the science behind epigenetic reversal, and explore how Rejuvant is rewriting the rules of longevity. Tune in and stay informed as we uncover the future of living better and longer. Don't miss out on the latest insights and discoveries!
