Abstract
A composition for supporting endogenous systems related to life span, inhibiting mTOR, and reducing damage associated with oxidative phosphorylation. The composition comprises an upregulating compound mixture configured to upregulate an endogenous antioxidant system, an exogenous antioxidant mixture configured to inhibit oxidation of biomolecules by reactive oxygen species, and a mineral mixture configured to provide one or more cofactors to a endogenous antioxidant enzyme. The endogenous antioxidant system includes regulation of mitophagy through mTOR mediated regulation, and a Nrf2 transcription factors that promotes transcription of antioxidant genes.
