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.<br /> <br /> In this Aliquot, I talk about three substances that may act as longevity vitamins – taurine, ergothioneine, and PQQ.<br /> <br /> <strong>This episode includes several key discussion points:</strong></div> <div> </div> <ul> <li><strong>(03:09)</strong> Is taurine the key to Okinawan's long lifespans?</li> <li><strong>(04:49)</strong> How taurine promotes mitochondrial health</li> <li><strong>(06:05)</strong> How taurine deficiency impacts muscle mass</li> <li><strong>(06:41)</strong> Does supplementing the age-related decline boost longevity?</li> <li><strong>(08:58)</strong> Okinawa's High Intake vs. Japanese in Brazil</li> <li><strong>(10:01)</strong> Blood pressure, blood lipids, and glucose levels</li> <li><strong>(13:07)</strong> The role of ergothioneine in shielding membranes from oxidative damage</li> <li><strong>(15:14)</strong> How ergothioneine's unique lipophilic properties protect mitochondria</li> <li><strong>(19:18)</strong> Why some people transport ergothioneine better than others</li> <li><strong>(20:17)</strong> Whether to get ergothioneine from foods or supplements</li> <li><strong>(24:18)</strong> Is ergothioneine destroyed by cooking?</li> <li><strong>(25:02)</strong> The unusual antioxidant power of PQQ</li> <li><strong>(26:21)</strong> The role of PQQ in the brain</li> <li><strong>(29:12)</strong> PQQ's impact on NAD and sirtuin levels?</li> <li><strong>(30:37)</strong> Does PQQ blunt the positive effects of exercise?</li> </ul> <div> </div> <div>For a deeper foray into this special topic, I highly recommend reading <strong>Dr. Bruce Ames</strong>' seminal paper, <a href= "https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1809045115"><em>Prolonging healthy aging: longevity vitamins and proteins</em></a>, published in the <em>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences</em>.<br /> <br /></div> <div>This open-access article explores a range of compounds, including taurine, PQQ, and ergothioneine, which Dr. Ames identifies as potential longevity vitamins.

PREVIEW Aliquot #92: The Underestimated Role of Resistance in Body Recomposition

<div>Having a healthy body composition, with plenty of lean mass – in the form of muscle and bones – is essential for health throughout the lifespan. Achieving a healthy body composition requires a balanced approach that emphasizes resistance training – and calorie reduction where appropriate.<br /> <br /> In this Aliquot, Dr. Brad Schoenfeld describes a balanced approach to maximizing muscle growth and strength and dispels early myths about possible blunting effects of aerobic training, the need to train to failure, and the "go heavy or go home" philosophy.</div> <div> </div> <div><em>Here's what you'll find in this episode...</em></div> <ul> <li><strong>(00:00)</strong> Can resistance training amplify fat loss?</li> <li><strong>(03:33)</strong> Why weight loss burns muscle — and how to prevent it</li> <li><strong>(06:25)</strong> The role of protein in muscle preservation</li> <li><strong>(08:21)</strong> Does aerobic exercise blunt gains?</li> <li><strong>(16:07)</strong> The role of failure in resistance training</li> <li><strong>(18:29)</strong> Reps-in-reserve vs. training to failure</li> <li><strong>(24:37)</strong> Lighter loads and higher volume — an effective route to hypertrophy</li> </ul> <div>If you are interested in muscle hypertrophy and body composition, you may be interested in our member's Q&A series where you ask a question and I answer it:</div> <ul> <li><strong><a href= "https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/qa-48-dr-rhonda-patrick">Q&A #48</a></strong>  How much protein can induce muscle protein synthesis in one meal</li> <li><strong><a href= "https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/qa-34-dr-rhonda-patrick">Q&A #34</a></strong>  How to preserve muscle mass while fasting</li> <li><strong><a href= "https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/qa-40-dr-rhonda-patrick">Q&A #40</a></strong>  The effects of rapamycin on muscle building</li> <li><strong><a href= "https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/qa-38-dr-rhonda-patrick">Q&A #38</a></strong>  The conflicting data between protein requirements for longevity vs muscle building</li> </ul> <div><strong>Get more Aliquots!</strong> <a href= "https://www.foundmyfitness.com/premium">Become an FMF Premium</a> member and get full access to our members-only podcast, The Aliquot, plus live Q&As with Rhonda, every-other-week Science Digest emails, and more.</div> <div> <p dir="ltr" data-test-bidi="">Learn more and sign up at: <a href= "https://www.foundmyfitness.com/aliquot">https://www.foundmyfitness.com/aliquot</a></p> </div>
