Antioxidants neutralize free radicals — unstable molecules that damage cells and accelerate aging. But modern longevity science goes far beyond basic antioxidants. Compounds like NMN, resveratrol, and urolithin-A target specific aging pathways: NAD+ decline, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular senescence.
The best approach combines foundational antioxidants (CoQ10, NAC, vitamin C) with targeted longevity compounds based on your age and goals.
