Vitamins are substances that our bodies need to develop and function normally. 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. In this Aliquot, I talk about three substances that may act as longevity vitamins – taurine, ergothioneine, and PQQ. This episode includes several key discussion points:- (03:09) Is taurine the key to Okinawan's long lifespans?
- (04:49) How taurine promotes mitochondrial health
- (06:05) How taurine deficiency impacts muscle mass
- (06:41) Does supplementing the age-related decline boost longevity?
- (08:58) Okinawa's High Intake vs. Japanese in Brazil
- (10:01) Blood pressure, blood lipids, and glucose levels
- (13:07) The role of ergothioneine in shielding membranes from oxidative damage
- (15:14) How ergothioneine's unique lipophilic properties protect mitochondria
- (19:18) Why some people transport ergothioneine better than others
- (20:17) Whether to get ergothioneine from foods or supplements
- (24:18) Is ergothioneine destroyed by cooking?
- (25:02) The unusual antioxidant power of PQQ
- (26:21) The role of PQQ in the brain
- (29:12) PQQ's impact on NAD and sirtuin levels?
- (30:37) Does PQQ blunt the positive effects of exercise?
