How does the environment affect aging and health?
Aging is the number one risk factor for chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes and dementia. As we age, several cellular processes break down leading to functional deficits. Aging also makes us more vulnerable to environmental insults because of reduced resilience and recovery, and vice versa. This is why environmental factors are so critical for healthy aging.

What is a safe product?
In addition to efficacy and quality, products must also be safe for human use. This applies to foods, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, dietary supplements, nutraceuticals and consumer products that we use. These products are made of dozens of complex chemicals and chemical mixtures which result in biological responses, including some that are undesired. By conducting rigorous safety testing, toxicology risk assessments, and by adhering to regulatory and compliance requirements, product safety can be achieved.
