Does Qualia Senolytic support autophagy?
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). Senolytic supplements are focused on supporting the whole cell to promote the completion of this falling off process. This is the main goal of Qualia Senolytic.*

More Frequently Asked Questions
How can I ensure I get the most out of Qualia Senolytic?
Qualia Senolytic is intended to be a great complement to other Qualia products, especially the first product we created in our Longevity line, Qualia Mitochondria+.
What should I expect when I take Qualia Senolytic?
What makes Qualia Mitochondria+ different from Qualia Senolytic? Should I take both?
Qualia Mitochondria+was formulated to support cells in making energy and keeping healthy cells healthy through the aging process. It's something designed to be taken on most days of the month. Qualia Senolytic was formulated to support pruning away of unhealthy cells as we age. It's something designed to be taken two days a month. We consider them to be perfect complements, with Qualia Senolytic being taken on a couple of the monthly off days from Qualia Mitochondria+.*
Why do you recommend only taking Qualia Senolytic for 2 days a month?
Intermittent use—some experts call this a “hit and run” approach—is the way senolytics are most commonly used to support healthy aging.*
Who should take Qualia Senolytic?
How soon will I notice benefits from Qualia Senolytic?
Qualia Senolytic should be thought of as a product that pays healthy aging dividends over time and with repeated cycles of use.
Is it okay to split the dose of Qualia Senolytic between different meals?
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.
Can I take less than the recommended dose of Qualia Senolytic?
Yes. While our general recommendation is to take 6 capsules a day on the 2 days a month we recommend that you take Qualia Senolytic, it’s perfectly fine to take a lower dose.
