Can I Slow Down The Aging Process?

Yes, you can.

Telomeres are the protective caps, located at the ends of chromosomes. They play a critical role when it comes to healthy aging.

But what can we do to extend those telomeres?

  • One study found that daily vitamin D supplemen-tation helps to minimize the shortening of telomeres, which happens as people get older, and thus may protect against diseases tied to age and biological aging.
  • The data suggested that vitamin D’s effects on a cellular level would be equal to a three-year decrease in aging.

Always request your Vitamin D labs so you can keep an eye on this important marker.
Your goal?
Always over 50 and ideally over 60 and beyond!

Want To Look Younger?

Vitamin C, through food and supplements, can make a difference. 

A 2025 study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology reveals that vitamin C doesn’t just protect the skin as an antioxidant. It helps special enzymes in your body prompt certain genes to turn back on. In your skin, these are the genes that tell cells to grow, renew, and stay resilient. 

This was a 3D study mimicking human skin. What makes this study especially important is the delivery method: the vitamin C was administered in a way that mimicked systemic delivery, like what happens when you consume vitamin C through food or supplements, not topical creams. That means what you put IN your body is just as important (if not more) than what you put on your skin.

Even though Vitamin C can be absorbed, you can increase it’s bioavailability. Bioavailability refers to how well a nutrient is absorbed and used by your body. Even if you consume a vitamin-rich food, it won’t make much of a difference if it doesn’t get absorbed efficiently. 

With vitamin C, absorption can vary depending on how you consume it…..and what you consume it with. The Journal of Nutrition published that when Vitamin C is combined with polyphenols and flavonoids, intestinal absorption is improved.

Here are some food pairings that optimize vitamin C bioavailability:

  • Citrus fruits + green tea: Green tea polyphenols help stabilize Vitamin C and enhance its absorption.
  • Bell peppers + olive oil: Healthy fats in olive oil may help improve the absorption of vitamin C.
  • Broccoli + onions: Onions contain Quercetin, a flavonoid that supports Vitamin C stability and function.
  • Strawberries + dark chocolate: Cocoa flavonoids offer antioxidant synergy with vitamin C and may support its stability in the digestive tract.

So if you are motivated to look younger, consider the pairings and consider your Vitamin C Supplements.

One Particular Supplement Could Potentially Lower Your Risk of Skin Cancer!

A study recently published in JAMA Dermatology has found that nicotinamide, a derivative of Vitamin B3, is linked to a reduction in non-melanoma skin cancers in people who have already had skin cancer.

This was a significant study, 34,000 veterans, who had previously been diagnosed with skin cancer. Researchers found those who took 500 mg of nicotinamide twice a day for at least a month after being diagnosed with their first skin cancer had a 54% reduced risk of developing another skin cancer compared to those who didn’t take the supplement. It was also associated with a 14% overall reduction in the risk of getting future skin cancers.

Nicotinamide (B3) has anti-inflammatory properties and can help skin cells repair themselves after UV damage. 

Takeaways:

  • 500 mg is a very high dose so it will be sold as a stand alone supplement.
  • Taking a B complex supplement is essential for your overall health. So most won’t need to take such a high dose, but most DO need a B complex.
  • Check your label to make sure it has “Niacin” or B3.
  • Also be sure the B vitamins are “Methylated”. It will state this on the label. If not, don’t buy it. 50% of the population has the MTHFR gene, so chances are you don’t know if you have it or not. Play it safe and buy methylated B vitamins.
