AGE, Advanced Glycation Endproducts, are important to anyone who wants to slow aging. Research indicates that as we get older, AGE accumulates in our skin and other organs like the kidneys and heart. AGE predicts kidney failure and risk of a heart attack. So we have spent years studying how to reduce AGE in the… read more
