    TITLE: Popular brain supplement linked to shorter lifespan in men

    URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    A large study involving more than 270,000 people has linked higher blood levels of the amino acid tyrosine to a shorter lifespan in men. Using both observational data and genetic analysis, researchers found that elevated tyrosine could potentially reduce male life expectancy by nearly a year, while no significant effect appeared in women. Tyrosine is found naturally in protein-rich foods and is also sold as a supplement for boosting focus and mental performance, making the finding especially intriguing.

  4. Experiments with the nematode *Caenorhabditis elegans* found that feeding with a magnetotactic bacterium reduces ferroptosis--a type of programmed cell death that is dependent on iron--and extended lifespan by as much as 40%. Neural function was also improved in older worms.

  14. `We report that plasma concentrations of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) and neurofilament light (NfL) become exponentially higher from ages 2 to 85 in cross-sectional samples, serving as neuronal death/damage biomarkers across the lifespan.`
