Mitochondrial Decline

By age 70, mitochondrial density in muscle is ~40% lower than at 40. Zone 2 cardio and CoQ10 (ubiquinol) are the most evidence-supported interventions.

Ashwagandha (KSM-66)

50+ RCTs globally. 2024 meta-analysis (n=1,002): significant cortisol reduction, stress score improvement, and fatigue relief confirmed.

💉

B12 After 50

Gastric atrophy reduces intrinsic factor — dietary B12 becomes unabsorbable. Sublingual methylcobalamin bypasses this limitation.
