I see Life Extension Foundation as being on the cutting edge of mainstream medicine (and therefore still completely mistaken about most things). However, their magazine is a low effort way to keep up with some of trends in research. Sometimes there are some interesting things.
They report:
You have to be careful with these reports because they're designed to sell supplements. I checked and surprisingly LEF does not have a French oak wood extract supplement -- yet. It's probably pretty new to the market.
LEF is the best example of the pharma model adapted to the supplement world. You'll notice that most research nowadays is on some exotic molecule or extract. If they did research on what regular food or basic supplements can do for you, then nobody can sell exotic extracts to you.
Anyway, my point in posting this here is that what other things target this mechanism?
What's most interesting to me is the significant improvements in sleep quality for people. That is the holy grail in my opinion: you wake up feeling amazing, not three hours later after you've had food and gotten a little sun. You know what I'm talking about: everything that day is easier; nothing is hard or difficult. Whenever I talk about amazing sleep I always feel like I'm crazy and I don't know if it's because I'm the weird one and everybody else gets amazing sleep all the time or if I'm the weird one that has actually experienced amazing sleep and everybody else can't even remember the last time they didn't drag themselves out of bed.
(Smartphone/EMF tips GTFO. Have you ever noticed that most of the people telling you to shut off your technology never have personal testimonials about how great they sleep all the time now? Because they still have bad nights. I've had amazing sleep without following any of the typical "sleep hygiene" rules, sometimes several days in a row. Several different supplements have worked for me at different times. Clearly there is more going on here than some simplistic light/EMF model that is unachievable for most people.)
They report:
"Roburins from oak wood boost production of ribosomes needed for cellular protein synthesis.
Daily doses of 200-300 mg of roburins found in French oak wood extract have been shown to improve many fatigue-related symptoms and syndromes.
Human studies further demonstrate that this oak wood extract can reduce exhaustion, improve sleep, boost mood, and more."
