This natural mitophagy activator has the potential to increase healthspan and lifespan, improve athletic performance, and support a healthy heart rate variability. He explains why many of us can't get the benefits of this powerful compound by simply eat pomegranates each day and why supplementation is necessary to achieve optimal levels within the body. Also stay tuned to for his top tips for anti-aging and longevity!
