Original: 1 hour • Summary: 3 minutes. Host Max Lugavere and guest Dave Watumull break down why astaxanthin stands out in longevity research — including NIH-backed lifespan gains in mice, mechanisms (AMPK, autophagy, FOXO3, mitochondrial protection), and broad clinical signals for brain, heart, joints, skin, and eye health. Learn practical guidance on dosing (roughly 12–24 mg/day for longevity), the importance of bioavailable formulations, and real-world trial outcomes from rheumatoid arthritis to endurance and pneumonia. Keywords: astaxanthin, longevity, antioxidants, nutrition, anti-inflammatory, brain health. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
