Scientists have intensely focused on finding out how calorie restriction so radically extends life span. In response to reduced calorie intake, beneficial “youth” genes are activated while detrimental “senescence” genes are disabled. These favorable gene expression changes play a critical role in the ability of calorie restriction to slow aging. The good news is that…

Creatine is a non-protein amino acid derivative found in human tissue that is synthesized from the amino acids L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine. Synthesized creatine is metabolized into phosphocreatine, an important storage form used by the brain, heart, and skeletal muscles.40 In normal healthy individuals, muscle creatine is replenished at a rate of approximately two grams…
