In an article from SupplySide SJ, Adel Villalobos, Lief Lab’s Founder and CEO, analyzes the concept of “inflammaging.” Inflammaging combines inflammation and aging to describe the chronic, low-grade inflammation that occurs as people age. Villalobos highlights various interconnected mechanisms contributing to inflammaging, such as cellular senescence, gut microbiome imbalances, mitochondrial dysfunction, and factors like genetics, lifestyle, and environment.

Villalobos emphasizes the importance of managing inflammaging through dietary and nutraceutical strategies. Key ingredients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols (e.g., resveratrol, curcumin), probiotics, and vitamins C and E, are noted for their anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. These strategies can help improve overall health and potentially extend both lifespan and health span.
