Can you provide evidence that each Restore ingredient improves sleep and extends lifespan and/or improves healthspan in animal models?Updated 3 months ago

Magnesium bisglycinate: decreases sleep onset latency time, is linked to a younger predicted age, and extends lifespan in a mouse model of accelerated aging. Magnesium bisglycinate is a unique form of magnesium capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier.

Apigenin: An active ingredient of chamomile extract, apigenin can relieve anxiety and improve mood. It can also increase longevity by inhibiting the NADase CD38 and indirectly elevating NAD+ levels, which targets the aging hallmark mitochondrial dysfunction.
