Activation1

  • Gut chemical defence and tissue recovery may extend life through two distinct functions

    Where this hypothesis actsIn the gut, acting on mature colonocytes and sensitive intestinal bacteria

    What is proposedReproduce microbial chemical protection through combined B and L

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowCombine B and L; the record does not identify these components. Neither component alone is proposed to provide an independent lifespan benefit

    Possible resultPossible reduction in repeated intestinal damage and a distinct contribution to lifespan extension
