Adenosine doesn’t always make the headlines in the anti- aging world, but it should. This little compound shows up all over the body — helping make energy, repair cells, and calm inflammation. Lately, it’s been getting more attention in longevity science for the quiet- but- powerful ways it keeps things running smoothly under the surface. There are a few types of adenosine- based supplements out there — from ATP ( that’s the energy kind) to NAD+ precursors and skincare formulas. Each one supports aging in its own way. Let’s break down how they work and why they’re worth knowing about. Why Adenosine Matters as We Age At its core, adenosine is one of the body’s go- to building blocks for energy — it’s what ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) is made from. ATP fuels nearly everything our cells do. But as we get older, we don’t make as much of it, which can mean slower repair, more stress on the body, and a drop in how well our cells do their job. Besides powering cells, adenosine helps them ...
We can't live forever, but we can at least try.
