A compound from grapes may slow aging at the cellular level

Headlines about living past 150 years grab attention, but the real science here is still fascinating without exaggeration. Chinese researchers have studied compounds extracted from grape seeds and found something remarkable. These molecules can influence how cells age, at least in laboratory and animal studies.

Grape seeds are rich in proanthocyanidins, natural antioxidants already known for protecting cells from damage. In recent experiments, scientists observed that these compounds can help remove senescent cells. These are old cells that stop dividing but refuse to die. When too many of them build up, they contribute to inflammation, tissue damage, and age related disease.

By reducing the burden of these worn out cells, the body’s tissues function more efficiently. In animal models, this process improved physical function and extended healthy lifespan. That is very different from proving humans can live 150 years. No human trials have shown that yet. What the research does show is that targeting aging at the cellular level may be possible.

This matters because aging is not controlled by one clock. It is shaped by inflammation, cell repair, metabolism, and accumulated damage. Grape seed compounds appear to influence several of these pathways at once. That is why scientists are excited and cautious at the same time.

For you, the takeaway is grounded hope. Aging is not just about time passing. It is a biological process science is learning to slow, adjust, and maybe one day manage better. Longevity is not about chasing extreme numbers. It is about extending years of health, clarity, and independence.

Millions rely on animal-derived thyroid medications. The FDA is putting that access at risk.

On August 6, 2025, the Food and Drug Administration issued letters to manufacturers of animal-derived thyroid products (such as Armour and NP thyroid), often called natural desiccated thyroid (NDT), informing them of the agency’s intent to take enforcement action against prescription animal-derived thyroid medications.

These medications are often life-changing options for those who do not experience benefits with synthetic thyroid medications. They have been around since before the FDA was established and were allowed to be on pharmacy shelves as prescription medications without official FDA approval – until now.

The FDA-approval process can take years, which means that those who rely on these medications for their health and quality of life are at risk of losing access to them.

In the meantime, we need to speak up and help protect access to NDT.

I’ve put together a Call to Action Kit, which includes exactly what to do, who to contact, and which petitions to sign. Comment SAVENDT below and I’ll send it to your DMs.

Please share this post, share your own experience with NDT, and take action steps to let the FDA know about the damage this will do to the millions of people who take these medications.
