🍋 Unlock the Secret to Youthful Blood Vessels with Citrate!✨
Did you know that the humble lemon might hold the key to fighting vascular aging? A groundbreaking study from Nanchang University, published in Aging Cell (September 2025), reveals how dietary citrate—a natural compound found in citrus fruits—can combat vascular aging and even extend lifespan! Let’s break it down:
🔍 Why This Study?
Vascular aging is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. As we age, blood vessels lose elasticity, and markers like p21 and p16 rise. Researchers explored whether citrate could reverse these effects and promote vascular health.
🧪 What Did the Study Do?
Two mouse models were used: naturally aging mice and high-fat diet-induced vascular injury models.
One group received 1% sodium citrate in their water, while the control group had plain water.
The study lasted six months or until natural death.
💡 Key Findings:
Delayed Vascular Aging: Citrate-supplemented mice showed:
Reduced elastic fiber fragmentation.
Thinner intima-media thickness.
Less collagen deposition.
Improved Mitochondrial Function: Citrate activated the AMPK pathway, boosting energy production and reducing oxidative stress.
Reduced Atherosclerosis: The citrate group had significantly fewer atherosclerotic lesions.
Lifespan Extension: Long-term citrate supplementation extended lifespan in mice!
🌟 What Is Citrate?
Citrate is the salt form of citric acid, a key player in cellular energy metabolism. It’s naturally found in citrus fruits and is widely used as a food additive for its antioxidant and alkalizing properties.
💪 Other Benefits of Citrate:
Antioxidant Power: Fights free radicals and reduces oxidative stress.
Uric Acid Reduction: Helps dissolve uric acid stones and prevent new ones.
