Provided herein is a method of using threonate to alter cellular physiology, such as neuronal physiology. A method of the present disclosure may include providing to a medium comprising a cell, a threonate-containing compound, or a precursor thereof, to increase the concentration of threonate in the medium, where the increased concentration of threonate is sufficient to increase the concentration of magnesium in the cell. Also provided is a method that includes administering a threonate-containing compound, or a precursor thereof, to an individual, to increase synaptic density in the brain and/or to treat a neurological disorder, e.g., cognitive impairment. The threonate-containing compound of the present disclosure does not include magnesium threonate.

The present invention discloses a therapeutic system for the topic, transdermal and transcutaneous application of carbon monoxide (CO), comprising: (i) an adhesive layer, (ii) a gas-permeable and liquid- and solid-impermeable membrane, (iii) a reaction chamber comprising a CO releasing molecule A, and (iv) a gas-impermeable backing layer, wherein the transdermal therapeutic system is configured that the CO releasing molecule A can be brought into contact with a CO release triggering compound B in the reaction chamber (iii). The therapeutic system can be used for the treatment of wounds, inflammatory diseases of the skin, and inflammatory diseases of subcutaneous skin tissue, joints and tendons.

The present invention discloses a system and method for increasing the lifespan and quality of life of human beings and other mammals. This discloses methods for preparing and delivering various health and longevity compositions. The compositions of the present invention are selected and designed for the purpose of efficiently delivering health and longevity enhancing therapies through oral supplementation, misting, nasal spray, suppository, etc. An existing compound known to have capacity for life extending potential, rapamycin, is combined with a non-toxic therapeutic anabolic hormone, e.g., DHEA, and cannabidiol (CBD) to enable absorption and effect. These three compounds work together to dramatically improve both the quality of life in aging humans and other mammals as well as extending the life of humans potentially up to 120 healthy years. One preferred embodiment provides a method for continuous low dose supplementation, e.g., incorporated in or with a daily meal. This invention not only resolves the issue of anti-aging of higher life forms, without toxicity, but provides for an improved method for absorption.
