This article reports on a scientific study demonstrating that oral vitamin C supplementation delays ovarian aging in non-human primates. The authors conducted a multi-year experiment in cynomolgus macaques, finding that vitamin C diminished common aging markers such as oxidative stress and follicular depletion. Utilizing advanced single-cell transcriptomic analysis, the research revealed that vitamin C had a rejuvenating effect on both oocytes and somatic cells, effectively reducing their predicted biological age. Mechanistically, the study suggests that these geroprotective benefits are…
