Scientists discover a root cause of aging
Aging starts earlier than you think and it begins at the cellular level. Starting in your 30s, the mitochondria—responsible for 90% of your body’s energy—take on damage with time and your cells slowly lose the ability to repair it. This decline wears down our physical strength and endurance, lowering quality of life over time.
However, recent discoveries have revealed a way to restore this process and support healthy aging. Mitopure® is clinically shown to trigger a cellular recycling pathway to give our energy generators new power. When taken daily, Mitopure replaces aging mitochondria and helps to rebuild new ones, increasing cellular energy. The results? Studies found participants saw muscle strength and endurance increase without any changes to exercise.
Ready to experience renewed cellular energy for yourself? Timeline is offering our readers 30% off on Mitopure today.
