Path to Healthspan: The Life-Changing Science Behind Cellular Rejuvenation
Supporting healthspan through cellular rejuvenation.
Our on-going commitment to extending healthspan through rigorous research drives us to explore
innovative, clinically-backed ways to support health and longevity.
At the core of L-Nutra products lies the science of Fasting Mimicking Nutrition Technology—a
breakthrough designed to deliver the extensive health benefits of fasting, while still nourishing
the
body with scientifically formulated foods.
Developed over 25 years in collaboration with the
Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California and L-Nutra Inc., Prolon's 5-Day
Fasting
Mimicking Diet (FMD) has transformed fasting into a scientifically-backed, food-based approach to
longevity.
This clean, plant-based nutrition protocol supports the body's metabolism and cells in fasting
mode,
tapping into autophagy and enabling cellular rejuvenation. With $48 million in funding and rigorous
testing through 32 clinical trials at 18 globally renowned institutions — including Stanford, Mayo
Clinic, University of Miami, and University of Genoa, and more — Prolon’s Fasting Mimicking
Nutrition has gained recognition for its contributions to the field of Food as Medicine.
Notably, these trials have shown that completing three to six cycles of the Prolon FMD
each year can lead to profound health benefits, including reduced biological age score, fat-focused
weight loss with muscle preservation, healthy metabolic markers, and more

Juventology
Research
This study of youth begins with preclinical research in animal models to examine the potential of
diet to extend longevity.
Epidemiological
Research
By understanding disease risk factors within populations, we can further test and validate
hypotheses
arising from our research.
Clinical
Studies
Through randomized, controlled trials, we evaluate the effectiveness and safety of our strategies
in
human subjects.
Centenarian
Studies
Research with centenarians helps us assess the long-term benefits of fasting-based nutrition

strategies.
Complex Systems
Analysis
By modeling the intricate interactions between food, cellular damage, and aging, we aim to unravel
the complex mechanisms of longevity and metabolic health.
Through these pillars and ongoing clinical trials, Prolon's Fasting Mimicking Technology remains at the forefront of the nutrition and longevity fields, illustrating how strategic fasting-based nutrition can support healthier, longer lives.
