Creatine has a reputation as a gym supplement. But the research tells a much bigger story. Beyond strength and power, creatine plays a role in how your whole body produces energy, including your brain. New studies suggest it can help memory, attention and how the brain deals with stress. That’s why Professor Sergej Ostojic is leading a 24-week clinical trial of DoNotAge® Performance in older adults, looking at its role in healthy ageing. 7g of creatine in every sachet.

Your immune system protects you. But what stops it going too far? The same signals that fight infection can cause damage if they stay switched on too long. Dr Rebecca Sumner’s lab studies the “brakes” that keep that response in check. 🎤 Dr Rebecca Sumner of King’s College London, at the DoNotAge conference in London. ▶️ Full video link in our YouTube.

New review pulls together lots of studies on people with autoimmune disease. Arthritis, psoriasis, MS, etc Most supplements did not help, but some were linked to less inflammation and better disease control. The supplement that showed benefits were quercetin, resveratrol, vitamin D and omega 3.

Obviously not medical advice and speak to your Dr if you have heart disease. But very, very cool study.

For years, fats in the blood got the blame for heart disease. The picture is changing 🔥 Low-level inflammation that builds up as we age, known as “inflammageing”, is now seen as an important driver too. 🎤 Joanna Ward at the DoNotAge conference in London. ▶️ Full video link in our YouTube.

If it makes a worm live longer, it’ll work in humans too. Myth or fact? 🪱 🎤 We put it to Professor David Weinkove at the DoNotAge conference in London.

Has your supplement been used in human clinical trials? There is a 99.9% chance it hasn't. So you can have no way of knowing what it is going to do to you. Look for this badge the next time you're browsing for health supplements.

Why does bouncing back get harder with age? 🔄 Your body has built-in repair systems that keep everything in balance, from your DNA to your organs. Scientists call this homeostasis, and it gets weaker as we age. 🎤 Professor David Weinkove explains at the DoNotAge conference in London. ▶️ Full video link in our YouTube.

One in three deaths worldwide comes down to one thing ❤️ Atherosclerosis is when fatty plaque slowly builds up and hardens in your arteries, restricting blood flow. It’s the main process behind heart attacks and strokes. 🎤 Joanna Ward, PhD Researcher at the University of Lincoln, at the DoNotAge conference in London. ▶️ Full video link in our YouTube.

What if we could tackle many diseases at once? 🧬 Ageing is the biggest risk factor for heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer and more. The “geroscience hypothesis” asks: if we slow ageing itself, could we hold back all of them together? 🎤 Professor David Weinkove of Durham University and the British Society for Research on Ageing, at the DoNotAge conference in London. ▶️ Full video link in our YouTube.
