Conquer Aging: The Kynurenine/Tryptophan Ratio Opposes Many Age-Related Changes
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Monitor your kynurenine/tryptophan ratio (KTR) – Higher KTR is linked to multiple age-related declines, especially neurodegeneration.
- Prioritize lowering KTR – Centenarians show better KTR profiles, suggesting it’s a key longevity marker.
- Watch IDO1 enzyme activity – Increased IDO1 activation raises KTR and correlates with negative health outcomes.
Notable Quotes
“When you have one thing that’s associated with 50 things, probably important.”
Bottom Line
Focus on reducing your kynurenine/tryptophan ratio through diet or supplements (though specific interventions aren’t mentioned here) – it’s a strong predictor of multiple age-related declines.
