Evidence: ★★☆☆☆ · Status: OTC Supplement

In plain English

A cellular-energy molecule that also helps reset the chemical "tags" on your DNA that drift with age. A small human study showed reduced biological age; more needed.

How it works

TCA-cycle intermediate and cofactor for TET enzymes / DNA-demethylases and prolyl hydroxylases — influences the epigenetic "aging clock." Reduced frailty and biological age markers in a small human study (TruDiagnostic/Ponce de Leon).

Molecular target & official sources

Alpha-ketoglutarate (PubChem CID 51) · TET2 (NCBI Gene)

Protocol

1,000 mg/day.
