Urolithin A supplement company Timeline has investments from both Nestlé and L'Oréal. This year, the conversation quickly turned to the supplement du jour, the compound that has drawn investment from both Nestlé and L'Oréal: Urolithin A. Starting in 2008, Rinch's supplement company, Amazentis, funded over a dozen studies on urolithin A, including some relatively large, placebo-controlled trials in people — a rarity in supplement research. Urolithin A has also captured the attention of longevity researchers, who are typically more skeptical about products promising to make you young again. Timeline was on the agenda at this year's ARDD, an annual longevity research conference held in Copenhagen in August.

☆ Scientists are testing a keto cocktail for longevity and vigor — without the high-fat diet
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Hilary Brueck | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

JuvenescenceFasting, low-carb, high-fat diets like keto, and drinking ketone esters can all prompt ketones to circulate in a person's blood. Ketone ester drinks don't require the liver to convert fat into ketones, which is what happens with fasting and the keto diet. "If you were wanting to lose weight, you want to be burning your own fat and turning it into ketones," Stubbs said. Ketone drinks don't do that. But she also says that any eventual geriatric recommendation for ketone esters isn't likely to be one-size-fits-all.
