Scientists Discover New Way to Fight Aging

Do you want to hike in your 70s? Travel in your 80s? We can't reverse aging, but we can age better.

Starting in your 30s, the mitochondria, responsible for 90% of your body's energy, take on damage with time and your cells slowly lose the ability to repair it. This decline wears down our physical strength and endurance, lowering quality of life over time.

But, recent discoveries have revealed a way to restore this process and support healthy aging. Mitopure® is clinically shown to trigger a cellular recycling pathway to give our energy generators new power.

When taken daily, Mitopure replaces aging mitochondria and helps to rebuild new ones, increasing cellular energy. The results? Studies found participants saw muscle strength and endurance increase without any changes to exercise.

Ready to experience renewed energy for yourself? The Flyover readers can take 40% off during Timeline's Black Friday sale, while supplies last.

Not only is abdominal fat, also called visceral fat or ‘belly fat,’ unsightly, it can lead to an increased risk of a number of health conditions. Read More
