Medical disclaimer

AgeBeacon publishes general educational information about longevity and healthy aging. The website, articles, research briefs, intervention profiles, biomarker pages and emails are not personal medical advice, a diagnosis or a treatment plan. Reading or contacting AgeBeacon does not create a clinician–patient relationship.

Research results describe the people and conditions studied. They may not apply to you. Early findings, changes in biomarkers and results from animals or cells do not establish that an intervention improves health or lifespan in people. We aim to explain the evidence and its limitations, but research and clinical guidance can change.

Do not start, stop or change a medicine, supplement, test, diet or exercise program solely because of AgeBeacon content. A qualified healthcare professional can help you weigh your health history, current medicines, possible interactions and other risks. If you have urgent symptoms or a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.

Links to studies and outside websites are provided so you can examine sources. Mentioning a product or intervention does not mean AgeBeacon endorses it. Corrections and questions about a source can be sent through our contact page. See also how we assess evidence.
