For thousands of years, there is evidence that people have been searching for the secret to endless youth. Myths such as the Fountain of Youth, which is a Taino legend that describes a spring where the waters restore youth, show that this has been on people’s minds for centuries. The myth itself is thousands of years old.
These days, we have various cultural practices that point to our quest for youth. We research anti-aging and apply the principals to our lives. We work hard to make our skin look young. We eat right and exercises to stay youthful. We also take supplements.
In fact, taking supplements is a pretty common practice. Does taking them help with anti-aging? Well, it depends.
What Is Aging Really?
Aging is complex, and through science we understand more about it now than we ever have. It is a biological process that goes through phases, starting with embryogenesis until ultimately, all the cells die off. Each species has an age limit, and the final phase of aging results in death for that species, and there are no exceptions.
No matter how much research we do, we ultimately can’t change the inevitable. However, what we can do is help ourselves reach closer to our species’ limit through our diet and lifestyle choices.
Vince, our Chief Scientist and CEO, has done a lot of research on aging and has put his findings to use in his own body. Here’s a snippet from one of his blog posts about the subject:
I believe this hack can probably postpone the death-sentence action of the aging program by 20-30 years for us humans and can likely allow most people to remain highly active, healthy and functional until 100 or more. It is the hack that has been working personality for me.
Also in his research, he has found that inflammation is one of the contributing causes of aging.
Taking Supplements for Anti-Aging
We often look at supplements as our “Fountain of Youth”, when in truth, holding off the aging process is something that involves multiple lifestyle changes. Not only that, but some supplements are better than others at helping us age with a better quality of life.
Vince has done so much research, he has settled on a unique and specific formula that acts as a bit of a tonic that can help people of all ages improve the quality of their lives. He has also found in his own body that this supplement has kept him feeling great well into his 90s.
In one of his blog posts on his personal blog, he has these hopeful words:
The best news is that this deadly cycle can be broken. The aging program can be hacked, basically by blocking the hyper-inflammation part of the positive feedback loop. For example, the systemic inflammation can be blocked by taking a nano-preparation of certain herbal anti-inflammatory dietary supplements.
He created 4 Herb Synergy Gold II for this reason – to help control inflammation. He has been taking it himself for years, and he knows that it has played a big role in giving him a great quality of life as he’s gotten older.
The answer as to whether you should take supplements for anti-aging is a highly personal one. This is Vince’s story, and you can learn from it to help you during your own anti-aging journey.
