Natural Plant Compounds Show Promise for Immune Aging, New Research Reveals
A new study published in Frontiers in Nutrition has revealed how compounds from an ancient grain might help address age-related immune decline. The research, titled “The Impact of a Polyphenol-Rich Supplement on Epigenetic and Cellular Markers of Immune Age: A Pilot Clinical Study,” investigated how dietary components from Tartary buckwheat influence immune aging through epigenetic and cellular mechanisms.
In this 90-day pilot study, researchers examined 50 healthy participants who received a supplement rich in polyphenols – beneficial compounds naturally found in plants. Using sophisticated testing methods, including epigenetic age clocks and immune cell profiling, the team tracked changes in biological markers specifically associated with immune aging and cellular health.
