It develops over time as multiple systems—such as the kidneys, blood vessels, hormones, and nervous system—gradually reset what the body considers normal.

Endothelial Cell Aging Reversal and Vascular Function
This paper reports that (-)-epicatechin reversed several features of endothelial cell aging and improved vascular function, while also exploring the mechanisms behind those changes.
