Meet the anti-aging ‘zombie cell’ compound longevity researchers are taking themselves

The biohacking world has a new obsession, and it’s coming for your “zombie cells.”

As longevity continues to dominate the wellness arena — from Hollywood’s pricey NAD+ trend to tech mogul Bryan Johnson’s multimillion-dollar anti-aging protocols — a new, budget-friendly anti-aging supplement is beginning to catch some attention.

The compound in question is fisetin, a naturally occurring plant polyphenol and flavonoid that’s currently racking up sales on Amazon, available in capsule form for as little as $44.

Fisetin has been studied for its potential anti-aging benefits, and while the human studies are limited, that hasn’t stopped scientists from adding it to their stack. Reportedly, world-famous Harvard Researcher, David Sinclair takes about 500 mg per day.

Fisetin is a potent senolytic, which is a compound that selectively eliminates senescent cells, also known as “zombie” cells.

Dysfunctional senescent cells can accumulate over time and release inflammatory molecules that can damage surrounding tissue and encourage nearby cells to become senescent as well. While the research is still emerging, researchers like Sinclair believe the findings are quite promising.

In a study on mice, chronic fisetin supplementation has been shown to improve healthspan — the number of years spent in good health — and extend both median and maximum lifespan in mice.

Toniiq’s fisetin packs 500 mg per serving and is said to offer enhanced absorption with the inclusion of MCT oil. According to the brand, the formula is highly purified to help users reap max benefits.

With consistent use, some reviewers have noticed improved mental clarity and overall energy.

“I’ve been taking it for about a month now and have noticed a significant improvement in my energy levels, cognitive function and overall mood,” one user reported. “I’m also sleeping better and feeling more resilient to stress.”

All of Toniiq’s supplements are third-party tested and made in a GMP-certified manufacturing facility.

As with any supplement, be sure to consult your physician before use.
