The Evidence-Based Longevity Protocol

A sequenced supplement framework built around hallmarks of aging — NAD+ restoration, senescent cell clearance, autophagy induction, and mitochondrial support.

Your Step-by-Step Pathway

  1. 1
    NAD+ restoration: the foundation of cellular longevity
    Pillar Guide

    NAD+ declines roughly 50% between ages 40 and 60, impairing DNA repair, sirtuin activity, and mitochondrial function. This pillar guide covers NMN vs NR, dosing research, and bioavailability differences.

  2. 2
    Senescent cell management with fisetin and quercetin
    Pillar Guide

    Senescent cells accumulate with age and release pro-inflammatory signals (SASP). Senolytics like fisetin and quercetin selectively clear these cells. This guide covers the evidence, dosing schedules, and stacking strategies.

  3. 3
    Autophagy vs mitophagy: which matters more?
    Form Comparison

    Spermidine activates general autophagy (cellular recycling), while Urolithin A specifically targets mitophagy (dysfunctional mitochondria clearance). This comparison breaks down the mechanisms and helps you prioritize.

  4. 4
    Magnesium: the cofactor behind 300+ enzymes
    Pillar Guide

    Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions including ATP synthesis, DNA repair, and sirtuin activation — all central to longevity biology. Most longevity protocols under-dose or use low-bioavailability forms.

  5. 5
    CoQ10 for mitochondrial electron transport
    Form Comparison

    Ubiquinol vs ubiquinone is one of the most consequential form decisions in longevity supplementation. This comparison covers the conversion efficiency debate, age-related decline in CoQ10, and which form to prioritize.

  6. 6
    The complete longevity ingredient stack
    Condition Hub

    This condition hub assembles the full longevity stack — NAD precursors, senolytics, autophagy activators, and mitochondrial support — ranked by evidence quality and bioavailability tier.
