Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research aims to explore the potential benefits of supplementation of a natural ingredient, the Monarda didyma extract, to reduce / delay the biological aging of a susceptible population, thus contributing to two relevant topics in science with important social and economic implications: anti-aging strategies for wellness and healthy aging and environmental sustainability using natural products.
