The Aliquot Preview

Learn more about The Aliquot podcast here
Vitamins are substances that our bodies need to develop and function normally. When considering vitamins, we tend to think of the usual suspects – A, C, D, E, and K, plus the eight B vitamins. However, the body produces many molecules that fit the description of a vitamin, driving physiological processes from infancy through later life. Some of these molecules might even be considered longevity "vitamins" – substances that extend healthspan and promote a longer life. In this Aliquot, I talk about three substances that may act as longevity vitamins – taurine, ergothioneine, and PQQ. This episode includes several key discussion points:- (03:09) Is taurine the key to Okinawan's long lifespans?
- (04:49) How taurine promotes mitochondrial health
- (06:05) How taurine deficiency impacts muscle mass
- (06:41) Does supplementing the age-related decline boost longevity?
- (08:58) Okinawa's High Intake vs. Japanese in Brazil
- (10:01) Blood pressure, blood lipids, and glucose levels
- (13:07) The role of ergothioneine in shielding membranes from oxidative damage
- (15:14) How ergothioneine's unique lipophilic properties protect mitochondria
- (19:18) Why some people transport ergothioneine better than others
- (20:17) Whether to get ergothioneine from foods or supplements
- (24:18) Is ergothioneine destroyed by cooking?
- (25:02) The unusual antioxidant power of PQQ
- (26:21) The role of PQQ in the brain
