Anti-aging supplements should be taken before old age for benefits, researchers at the University of Florida's Institute on Aging claim.
The experts opine that neutraceuticals- supplements made up of mixtures- might be better than single compounds at preventing decline in physical function
Christiaan Leeuwenburgh, senior author of the paper and chief of the biology of aging division in the UF College of Medicine, said: "I think it is important for people to focus on good nutrition, but for those of advanced age who are running out of energy and not moving much, we're trying to find a supplement mixture that can help improve their quality of life."
Research points to the mitochondrial free radical theory of aging, that as people age, oxidative damage piles up in individual cells such that the energy-generation system inside some cells stops working properly.
To address that problem, many anti-aging studies and supplements are geared toward reducing the effects of free radicals.
The UF researchers investigated the potential anti-aging benefits of a commercially available mixture marketed for relieving chronic fatigue and protecting against muscle aging. The supplement contains the antioxidant coenzyme Q10, creatine - a compound that aids muscle performance - and ginseng, which also has been shown to have antioxidant properties.
