What is Biological Aging Defense?
You can’t change your chronological age, but your lifestyle and nutritional choices have an impact on your biological age. Our once-daily formula includes a standardized Scarlet beebalm extract to help preserve healthy telomere length and DNA methylation age, biomarkers associated with how aging affects the body’s cells, tissues and organ systems.
Nothing stops the hands of time, but you can promote healthy biological aging with this cutting-edge formula.
Biological Aging Defense
- Supports healthy biological aging by targeting key hallmarks of the aging process
- Helps preserve DNA methylation age, an important factor in healthy biological aging
- Helps maintain healthy telomere length, a key aging biomarker
What Is DNA Methylation?
“DNA methylation” doesn’t roll off the tongue, but it’s a critical biological process that acts as an “on/off switch” for certain genes through a process called epigenetics, which is involved in gene expression and whole-body health. DNA methylation is a biomarker researchers measure when studying the field of healthy aging, which can be used to determine your biological age. Gene expression is involved in whole-body health.

FAQ
What is in Biological Aging Defense?
Biological Aging Defense contains a scarlet beebalm extract and lemon balm extract standardized to provide at least 4% didymin (4 mg). Beebalm is a flowering plant known for its active compounds, such as didymin, that help support healthy aging and overall well-being. Lemon balm acts as a supportive ingredient.
Who should take Biological Aging Defense?
Biological Aging Defense is intended for any adult who wants to support healthy aging from within. It’s designed for those looking to maintain key markers of healthy biological age, such as youthful gene expression (epigenetics) and telomere length.
What is biological age?
Biological age reflects how well your body’s cells and systems are functioning. This is different from your chronological age, which is simply an indicator of how many years you’ve lived. Your biological age can be influenced by factors like lifestyle, genetics, and environment, and can move faster or slower than your actual, chronological age.
MoreWhat is DNA methylation age?
DNA methylation is a natural process that’s related to healthy gene expression (through epigenetics), which impacts whole-body health. Over time, the pattern of DNA methylation changes, which can impact gene expression, and in turn, how cells function. Scientists can measure DNA methylation patterns as biomarkers to help measure how the body is aging.
What are telomeres?
Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of your chromosomes that help keep your DNA stable. Longer telomeres are associated with youth and a longer lifespan. Together, epigenetics and telomere length play key roles in how your cells age and function over time.
When can I expect an effect?
In a study of a scarlet beebalm formulation standardized to 4% didymin, a more youthful biological age and telomere length were observed after 12 weeks of use compared to placebo. Everyone is unique, however, so the time it takes to notice benefits can vary from person to person. We suggest following the study duration to determine product efficacy.
When is the best time to take Biological Aging Defense? Should it be taken with food or on an empty stomach?
We suggest taking one capsule daily with food.
Will this supplement interact with my medication?
