🔬TODAY’S BREAKTHROUGH

What if a simple nutritional supplement could reverse years of cellular aging?

A new human trial shows that exogenous nucleotides significantly slowed biological aging and improved metabolic health in older adults.

The Discovery:

The TALENTs trial, a 19‑week double‑blind randomized study in 121 participants aged 60–70, examined daily supplementation with 1.2 g nucleotides (NTs) versus placebo.

Results showed a significant reduction of 3.08 years in DNA methylation age, meaning treated individuals aged slower on a cellular level. They also saw improved insulin sensitivity, with no severe side effects reported.

The Science:

  • NT supplementation led to –3.08 years change in DNA methylation clock vs. placebo (β = –3.08 yrs; P = 0.0023)

  • A trend toward reduced DNA methylation age appeared after 11 weeks (β = –1.94 yrs; P = 0.11)

  • No significant change in leukocyte telomere length in either group

  • HOMA‑IR (insulin resistance) improved (β = –0.45; P = 0.033) for the NT group

  • No severe adverse events, indicating a well‑tolerated safety profile

Your Action:

Consider integrating nucleotide-rich foods (e.g., meat, fish, legumes) or researched NT supplements into your daily routine. Pair supplementation with metabolic support, fiber-rich diet, regular exercise, and consistent sleep, to amplify metabolic and longevity benefits.

Bottom Line:

Nucleotide supplementation in older adults significantly reversed biological aging by approximately three years and enhanced insulin sensitivity, without adverse effects.
