Yes, ingredients in Qualia Senolytic support the body’s normal process of autophagy. That said, we'd think of supporting autophagy as a secondary benefit. The main intended benefit of Qualia Senolytic is managing senescent cells, which is not the same thing as autophagy. Autophagy and cellular senescence are two distinct cellular responses that can be activated by a variety of stresses and have to do with aging (so it's easy to confuse them). Both are needed to keep us healthy but they are different processes. Autophagy (literally meaning “self-eating”) is focused on degrading and recycling components inside cells and mitochondria (mostly damaged proteins and organelles). It helps maintain cellular homeostasis so that a cell does not become senescent (think of autophagy as an anti-senescence mechanism). Cellular senescence is about the whole cell and occurs when a cell has become so stressed and worn out that cleaning up some of the damage inside it is no longer sufficient. Instead of autophagy, a senescent cell needs to go through a "falling off" process (a healthy cellular function called apoptosis). Senolytics are focused on supporting the whole cell to promote the completion of this falling off process. This is the main goal of Qualia Senolytic.*

Yes. If you want to take part of the Qualia Senolytic with one meal (such as breakfast) and part with another meal (like lunch or dinner) or spread equally between three meals on the days you take it, that would be fine.
The nine high purity herbal extracts used in Qualia Senolytic do not provide any significant amount of the caloric units of energy found within food (i.e., carbohydrates, protein, and fat).
Qualia Senolytic contains a combination of nine vegan ingredients and was formulated to be taken on two consecutive days once a month. It was created to support healthy aging in an area called “cellular senescence.”* But what is that?
The Soybean Seed Extract used in Qualia Senolytic contains soy isoflavones. Soy isoflavones are a type of bioflavonoid, which is often described as being a phytoestrogen. “Phyto” means plant, so phytoestrogens are plant-based compounds that mimic some estrogen functions in the body.
While there are no special instructions for getting started, a good way to introduce anything new is to start small and increase over time.
