Advancement in nutrition and medical sciences have increased life expectancy in most developed countries. However, increased life expectancy brings associated aging problems in a significant proportion of the population. These include neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, atherosclerosis and vision problems. Recent research has identified the accumulation of senescent cells as a contributor to age-related issues. Here, the featured speakers discuss the potential benefits of a little-known nutrient called fisetin for tackling these issues.
Senescent cells are old cells with damaged DNA that have lost their ability to divide. Also known as “zombie” or “rogue” cells, senescent cells do not die; instead, they accumulate and inflame the cells and tissues around them. Cellular senescence weakens an organism over time by increasing its susceptibility to age-related diseases. This contributes to an organism’s slow decline and accelerates the progression of many age-related issues.

Senolytics — compounds that eradicate senescent cells — help to prevent age-related disease, and even mitigate those that may have already developed. Studies have shown that fisetin is a very powerful senolytic, especially compared to other flavonoids.
Recently, there has been increased consumer interest in preventative selfcare related to healthy aging, and more specifically, cognitive function. With growing interest in functional products that can help with mental acuity, mood and protect neurological function, one of the challenges is finding ingredients that can both be effective and cross the blood-brain barrier to affect neurological function.
Fisetin has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier, and research has suggested that it can mitigate oxidative stress within the brain — protecting neurological functions such as memory, cognition and neuron function. Fisetin presents these neuroprotective actions by interacting with and mitigating reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can cause inflammation and damage to cells. These wide range of actions suggest that fisetin can reduce the impact of age-related neurological diseases on brain function.
