One has the cardiovascular function of someone in their early forties —flexible arteries, efficient mitochondria, cellular repair systems at near full capacity. The other has the biological markers of someone approaching their mid-sixties. Their birth certificates are identical. Thei

TA Medical Research Team · 6 min read · Healthspan & Longevity Science Every meal you eat, every night you sleep, every hour you move or sit still — your cells are listening. And everything they hear shapes what you become. The difference between a body that is 50 and feels 40, and one that is 50 and feels 60, is not luck. It's information —written into the DNA, one day at a time. 01 Same DNA. Different Aging. The Story of Two Brothers.

How Helmholtz resonance shapes sound, breathing, and the body TA Medical Research Team · 6 min read Somewhere in northern France, in a medieval church whose name few people know, ceramic pots are embedded in the stone walls. They have been there for six hundred years. The builders had no word for what they were doing. They had no instrument to measure it. They had only the experience of being inside a space where sound behaved differently — where the air itself seemed to part

TA Medical Research Team · 5 min read · Nutrition & Cellular Health Science Long before nutrition science had words for omega-3 fatty acids, taurine, or mitochondrial function, the people of Japan’s coastal regions were eating sardines. Not occasionally — regularly, generationally, across centuries. The body adapts to what it receives consistently. And what it received, over hundreds of generations, shaped something deeper than habit. Your biology was built on this food.

What the world’s longest-lived populations share goes deeper than diet or exercise. It points to the biology of how cells maintain themselves — and how that process is supported. Your hips are probably at 90° right now. They were at 90° for most of your waking hours yesterday, and the day before — at breakfast, in the car, at your desk, at dinner. The position feels neutral. It is not. It carries a cost — not felt as discomfort, but reflected in tissue that has quietly remode

A Nobel Prize was awarded for discovering it. Your body makes it every second. And after your mid-thirties, it quietly starts to disappear. It is called nitric oxide. A gas produced inside the walls of your blood vessels — lasting only seconds, but controlling your blood pressure, your energy, your mental clarity, and how quickly your body recovers from anything that taxes it. Most people have never heard of it. Yet a growing body of research suggests its decline is one of

Scientists tracked 3,000 animals over 35 years and found a surprising result that is reshaping aging, longevity, and health-span research. TA Medical Research Team · 5 min read · Longevity Science

The Science Behind Longevity · What NAD+ Does · Where the World is Looking NMN RESEARCH FRONTLINE — MONTHLY SERIES — VOL. 02 OF 12 Right now, while you read this, your cells are doing something quietly remarkable. They are repairing DNA, converting food into energy, managing inflammation, and keeping your internal clock ticking — all at once, all without your awareness. Almost all of it depends on a single molecule called NAD+ Your body has always made it — but it makes

Just a 10-minute walk within 15 minutes after eating can reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes by up to 47%. By activating the GLUT4 and AMPK pathways, it works synergistically with NMN-supported NAD⁺ production. Here, we explore the latest research on metabolic health and longevity.

What 30 years of research by Dr. David Sinclair means for your health, your independence, and the future of aging in Japan and beyond. What if the gradual loss of energy, memory, mobility, and independence that so many of us quietly accept as "getting older" was not, in fact, inevitable? What if aging — the very force behind Japan's most prevalent diseases, from dementia to heart disease to cancer — was something science could slow, stop, or even reverse? That’s exactly what

NMN Human Clinical Trial Evidence: A Scientific Overview of NAD⁺, Energy Metabolism, and Aging TA Medical Research Summary · Sources: PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov , Geroscience, Science NMN has now been tested on real people, in real hospitals, across Japan, the USA, China, and beyond. Here’s what they found — explained in plain language. If you have already been following our blog, you are likely familiar with what NMN is, why NAD⁺ is important, and how the body uses it. If yo

What can daily life in Japan — from shared meals to community and simple habits — teach us about living longer? Japan Already Knows the Secret to a Long, Happy Life — and Scientists Are Finally Catching Up A world summit of leading researchers just published their findings in one of the most respected science journals on earth. Their conclusion? The answer to healthy aging may have been living in Japanese kitchens, communities, and daily habits all along. 6 min read · Bas

NMN exists in foods — but are the amounts enough to support NAD+ levels as you age? Getting NMN from Food: Why It’s Only the First Step If you've been curious about NMN, chances are you've wondered: do I really need a supplement, or can I just eat the right foods? It's a great question — and the answer is actually a little of both. Yes, NMN exists naturally in everyday foods you probably already enjoy. But there's a catch. Let's walk through what the science says, which foods

Understanding how NMN supports NAD+ production and its role in energy, metabolism, and aging Monthly Series — No.1 / 12（Vol.01） | NMN Research Team | Reading Time: ~4 min ————————————————————————————————————————— NMN has become one of the most discussed molecules in longevity science. But before understanding why the world is researching it so intensively, we need to answer one foundational question: what exactly is NMN, and why does it matter to every cell in your body?...
