Imagine a future where you can support your body's aging process through nutrition, instead of pharmaceuticals. Chris Rinsch co-founded Amazentis, the Swiss life science company behind Timeline, to do just that. Timeline, as we have previously reported, supports mitochondrial function and muscle strength. 

The essential ingredient is Mitopure, a synthetic, highly pure form of the gut metabolite urolithin A. At the LLAMA podcast, we have been been following Timeline's progress since before the product went on the market in 2020, although Chris's adventure with the company - and the science - started more than fifteen years ago.  It has been a fascinating journey - from the laboratory to the human body.

For this interview, LLAMA host Peter Bowes traveled to Lausanne, Switzerland to meet Chris and the team behind Timeline, which is a sponsor of this episode.

Topics covered in this conversation include: 

• The development of Timeline and the science behind functional foods
• How Mitopure, a highly pure form of Urolithin A, can help boost cell health and muscle strength as we age.
• The potential health benefits of pomegranate phytochemicals
• How advanced nutrition can help us manage the aging process.
• The importance of industry and research collaboration in bringing innovative products to life
• The financial involvement necessary for conducting clinical trials. 
• The rise in popularity of the term "longevity" and why a holistic approach to healthspan – living as long as possible with optimum health – is the key to living a long and healthy life. 
• The clinical studies supporting Timeline's effectiveness
• Chris and Peter's personal experiences with the product
• The future for next-generation nutrition and longevity
