The Blueprint of Aging
Aging starts in your cells, we target it at the source.
What are the 12 Hallmarks of Aging?
There are 12 fundamental biological processes, called the hallmarks of aging, that underlie how and why we age.
Collectively, they drive the gradual physical and functional decline associated with aging.
Aging starts with your Foundational cracks, builds with Damage, and ends in System Failures you can see and feel.
Foundational
Aging starts with cracks in the foundation
Damage
Aging builds with wear and tear
System Failures
Aging ends in breakdowns you can see and feel
Fixing cellular cracks today helps you avoid system breakdowns tomorrow.
12 Hallmarks of Aging
Here are the 12 hidden processes inside your body that drive aging and slow you down
Our Formula: Built for All 12
Most supplements target one hallmark, we target them all.
The formula is designed for complete coverage, not just one pathway, and is dosed at human-clinical levels.
Genomic Instability
DNA Damage
DNA Wear and Tear
Ever wonder why our bodies age? One major reason is genomic instability. Our DNA is like the instruction manual for our cells, and over time it collects errors. Think of it like an IKEA manual full of mistakes and missing steps, the final product won’t come together the way it should.
What it Means
DNA is constantly under stress from UV rays, pollution, and even normal cell processes. Over time this leads to mutations, broken strands, and faulty repairs that accumulate inside cells.
Why it Matters
Mutations: Changes in the DNA code that disrupt normal cell activity.
Broken strands: DNA that snaps or frays under stress.
Faulty repairs: The body fixes damage but introduces errors.
These errors build up and cause cells to malfunction, which accelerates aging and increases disease risk.

Telomere Attrition
The Fraying Shoelace
Telomeres are like the plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces, protecting your DNA from unraveling. Each time a cell divides, telomeres get shorter. Eventually, the tips wear down so much that the shoelace, or in this case, the DNA, starts to fall apart.
What it Means
Telomeres shorten naturally as part of aging, but stress, poor lifestyle, and inflammation speed this process up. Once they’re too short, the cell can no longer divide and becomes inactive.
Why it Matters
Cells with critically short telomeres stop renewing.
Linked to weaker immunity and slower tissue repair.
Considered one of the most reliable markers of biological aging.
Chromosome End Damage

Loss of Proteostasis
Protein Buildup
Clogged Cell Machinery
Proteins are like tiny machines that keep your cells running smoothly. But with age, damaged or misshaped proteins pile up. It’s like having a factory floor full of broken machines that no one hauls away; eventually, the whole factory slows down.
What it Means
Normally, the body clears out misfolded proteins. But with aging, that system weakens, and proteins begin clumping together, especially in the brain and muscles.
Why it Matters
Protein clumps block normal cell function.
A key factor in diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Accelerates decline in tissue strength and resilience.
Top 3 Compounds
Clearing Damaged Proteins

Epigenetic Alterations
Gene Switch Malfunction
The Broken Light Switch
Your genes are like thousands of light switches that tell your body when to turn certain functions on or off. With age, these switches get faulty, some stay on when they should be off, and others fail to turn on at all.
What it Means
Epigenetic changes don’t alter your genes themselves, but they change how your genes are read. Over time, this misregulation leads to cells acting older and less efficient.
Why it Matters
Important repair genes can get silenced.
Harmful pathways can become overactive.
Leads to faster aging and higher disease risk.

Disabled Macro-autophagy
Recycling System Breakdown
The City Without Trash Collection
Autophagy is the body’s recycling program: cells break down and reuse old parts to stay efficient. With age, this system slows, like a city where garbage trucks stop coming. Waste piles up, and everything runs worse.
What it Means
Autophagy helps clear out defective proteins and organelles. When this process falters, damaged components accumulate, weakening cells.
Why it Matters
Clogged cells can’t recycle or repair properly.
Energy production suffers.
Accelerates aging across multiple organs.

Restoring Cellular Recycling

Deregulated Nutrient Sensing
Metabolic Miscommunication
The Broken Thermostat
Nutrient-sensing pathways are like a thermostat for energy — deciding when to grow, conserve, or repair. With age, the thermostat malfunctions, and cells misread the body’s nutrient signals.
What it Means
Over time, nutrient-sensing pathways like insulin and mTOR get out of sync, leading to miscommunication about how the body should use energy.
Why it Matters
Drives weight gain and insulin resistance.
Over-activates growth pathways that speed aging.
Reduces energy efficiency across the body.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Powerhouse Decline
The Fading Batteries
Mitochondria are your cell’s batteries, powering movement, thinking, and repair. With age, they start producing less energy and more harmful byproducts, like a battery that leaks acid instead of holding a charge.
What it Means
As mitochondria break down, cells struggle to power their basic functions. The damage also spreads oxidative stress throughout the body.
Why it Matters
Causes fatigue and slower recovery.
Weakens brain, muscle, and heart performance.
Fuels other hallmarks like inflammation and cell death.

Cellular Senescence
Zombie Cells
The Bad Neighbors

What it Means

Why it Matters
Build up more and more with age.
Linked to arthritis, heart disease, and skin aging.
Block tissue repair and accelerate decline.

Stem Cell Exhaustion
Repair System Failure
The Retired Workforce
Stem cells are the body’s repair crew, always ready to replace damaged cells. But with age, this workforce shrinks and becomes less capable, leaving tissues with no one to fix the damage.
What it Means
Stem cells lose energy and numbers over time, reducing their ability to regenerate skin, muscles, blood, and other tissues.
Why it Matters
Healing slows after injury.
Muscles, skin, and immune defenses weaken.
A major driver of frailty and age-related decline.

Altered Intercellular Communication
Mixed Signals System

Cells need clear communication to stay in sync, like radios on the same frequency. With age, the signals get scrambled, creating static that confuses cells and organs.
What it Means
Aging cells release distorted signals that spread stress and inflammation throughout the body.
Why it Matters
Weakens the immune system.
Fuels chronic inflammation.
Disrupts balance between tissues and organs.

Chronic Inflammation
Inflammaging - The Fire That Won’t Go Out
The Smoldering Fire
Inflammation is good in short bursts: it heals cuts and fights infections. But with age, the body often slips into a constant low-grade inflammation, like a fire that never burns out.
What it Means
This “inflammaging” damages tissues slowly and silently, affecting the entire body.
Why it Matters
Fuels heart disease, diabetes, and dementia.
Weakens healthy tissue over time.
Makes other hallmarks of aging worse.

Dysbiosis
Gut Microbiome Imbalance
The Unbalanced Ecosystem
Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that act like a rainforest ecosystem. With age, harmful species overgrow while helpful ones decline, throwing the system off balance.
What it Means
This imbalance, called dysbiosis, weakens the gut’s ability to support digestion, immunity, and whole-body health.
Why it Matters
Increases inflammation and “leaky gut.”
Disrupts metabolism and nutrient absorption.
