The University of Zurich discovers the elixir of youth:

Researchers evaluated the biological clocks of the participants in the study. The biological age of participants was measured before and after the intervention. Researchers used what are known as “epigenetic clocks” to measure biological age. These clocks record chemical changes in DNA molecules, known as “methylation,” to measure the difference between biological aging and chronological (calendar) aging.

Disclaimer: Omega-3 supplements, either alone or in conjunction with a vitamin D and exercise regimen, were linked to a slowing in four biological age tests that depend on DNA methylation, according to a recent study of the DO-HEALTH clinical trial published in Nature Aging (1). The study was carried out in Switzerland at the University of Zurich. For three years, 777 participants in the trial consumed 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily, 1 g of omega-3 fatty acids daily, and/or an exercise regimen at home. Participants were assessed using four new DNA methylation indicators of biological aging (PhenoAge, GrimAge, GrimAge2, and DunedinPACE) along the course of the treatment.
