Leucine and Isoleucine: Longevity and Cancer Risk
Leucine and isoleucine are two essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) that play crucial roles in metabolism, muscle maintenance, and overall health. However, their impact on longevity and cancer risk is complex and depends on dietary intake, metabolic status, and individual health conditions. Leucine: A Double-Edged Sword Longevity BenefitsMuscle Maintenance & Anti-Sarcopenia: Leucine is well-known for…
Optimal Supplement Protocol for Dental & Bone Health 🦷💪
A strong supplement strategy can support tooth remineralization, gum health, and bone strength, especially for elderly individuals who are at higher risk of enamel loss, cavities, and osteoporosis. Below is a biohacker-approved protocol with key supplements, dosages, and benefits. 1. Core Minerals for Enamel & Bone Strength ✅ Calcium (Hydroxyapatite or Citrate) – 500–1,000 mg/day🔹…
Teeth Remineralization Methods: CPP-ACP Cream vs. Fluoride (F)
Tooth remineralization is a critical process for repairing early-stage decay, strengthening enamel, and preventing cavities. Two of the most well-researched remineralization agents are Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) and Fluoride (F). Both have unique mechanisms and benefits, making them essential tools in dental health. 1. Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) Cream 🔬 How It Works:CPP-ACP…
The sulfur microbial diet and cancer risk
The sulfur microbial diet is associated with increased risk of early-onset colorectal cancer precursors Background & Aims:Diet may contribute to the increasing incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) before age 50 (early-onset CRC). Microbial metabolism of dietary sulfur produces hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gastrointestinal carcinogen that cannot be easily measured at scale. As a result, evidence…
Dietary glycation compounds – implications for human health
The term “glycation compounds” comprises a wide range of structurally diverse compounds that are formed endogenously and in food via the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids. Glycation compounds produced endogenously are considered to contribute to a range of diseases. This has led to the hypothesis that glycation compounds present in food…
