Lifespan.io has released a recording of their Crypto Meets Longevity panel from the most recent Ending-Age Related Diseases Conference. Viewers of this show know about the longevity philanthropy of Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin, of Richard Heart’s well known support of the SENS Research Foundation, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong’s involvement in New Limit, the goals of Transhuman Coin, VitaDAO, and more. But why is there such a crossover between the longevity community and the crypto community? That was one of the topics addressed during the panel discussion. Qiao Wang, a core contributor of leading Web3 accelerator and founder community DeFi Alliance, traces the roots of this back to the early stages of crypto - with Hal Finney, who received the first ever Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi Nakamoto, choosing to be cryopreserved in hopes of future reanimation upon his death in 2014.

Another panelist was Marc Bernegger, a Swiss entrepreneur and investor who co-founded Maximon, a longevity company builder. He hinted that there are some well-known and wealthy members of the crypto community involved in the background of Maximon’s work, and that this cross-community collaboration helps to provide mutual stability.

Another concrete example that was brought up was Vitalik Buterin’s donation of a large percentage of all Dogelon Mars coins in existence to the Methuselah Foundation, a non-profit medical charity focused on extending the healthy human lifespan by making 90 the new 50 by 2030. The foundation could have instantly tried to cash in by selling the coins, but instead they announced that they would seek to maximize the coin’s long term value. This provided inherent alignment between the Dogelon holders and the Methuselah Foundation, and by extension, the larger longevity community.

The potential of this technology, and the decentralized science movement in general, is huge. And if you share these goals, and agree with Qiao that there’s not enough money in longevity, right now you have the opportunity to take advantage of Quadratic Funding and change that. Lifespan.io is currently participating in Gitcoin Grants Round 13, which has a pool of funding specifically focused on decentralized projects sustaining longevity.

$Vitamin B & Omega-3 Linked to Cognitive Health in New Study Researchers publishing in the European Journal of Nutrition have discovered that a combination of B vitamins and the omega-3 fatty acid DHA is linked to decreased cognitive decline in older individuals. The researchers came to their conclusion after analyzing the results of the B-proof trial, a Dutch study conducted between 2008 and 2013. While this study was originally geared towards discovering the effectiveness of folic acid and vitamin B12 supplements, the researchers obtained their omega-3 results by analyzing blood plasma samples taken at the time of the study. The researchers were able to collect the data they needed from nearly 200 people, approximately half of which were in the placebo group. This study focused on two specific omega-3 fatty acids: EPA and DHA. For each of these measurements, and for a combined measurement, the participants in each group were divided into three tertiles: low, middle, and high. The researchers describe the cognitive measurements conducted in this test as an extensive battery, as they included short-term memory tasks such as digit and word memorization, long-term memory tasks such as letter-word recall, and detailed cognitive tests such as the trail-making test and the symbol-to-digit marking test. It also included the famous Stroop Color Word Test, in which a word written represents a different color than the ink its written in, such as the word green written in yellow. Vitamin B supplementation appeared to be slightly associated with higher overall scores on cognitive tests after two years, although the difference was not statistically significant. However, the analysis showed that a combination of vitamin B12 supplements and high levels of the omega 3 fatty acid DHA was shown to be significantly correlated with cognitive health. The researchers compare their results to those of other studies. One study, VITACOG, also showed a significant link between B vitamin supplements and omega-3 fatty acids in reducing cognitive decline and brain atrophy. A different study showed that a combination of low homocysteine, an amino acid that is broken down by B vitamins, and omega-3 supplementation is associated with reduced cognitive decline. These studies focused on people with cognitive impairment, while this new study was on cognitively healthy adults. Pulling from other prior research, the researchers offer multiple biochemical explanations as to why DHA might be so important, such as ways in which B vitamin supplementation spurs the transfer of omega 3 fatty acids to the brain. However, as a post-hoc analysis, this study can only show correlation, not prove causation. A multifactorial clinical study is required to prove that vitamin B12 and DHA interact to improve cognitive performance in healthy older adults. But will this change how you think about vitamin supplements and Omega-3 fatty acids? Let us know in the comments!
