Intermittent use—some experts call this a “hit and run” approach—is the way senolytics are most commonly used to support healthy aging.* The “hit and run” approach means that senolytics are recommended to be taken for a couple of days followed by a longer period of time when they are not taken.
Senescent cells are created in, and removed from tissues constantly throughout life (and over shorter periods of time like a month). The goal of taking senolytics is to shift the balance in favor of removal, which should not require daily dosing since senescent cells accumulate slowly.*
Think about this “hit and run” dosing as being a bit like how you might approach pruning a plant: pruning is something you’d want to do frequently but not every day. Another way to think about taking senolytics is as being akin to a water fast or detox protocol, which are not something done every day, but instead, would be something done for a few days periodically to support health goals.*

Soy foods and soy isoflavones have been studied a number of times and have not been found to impact testosterone in men.* As is the case with most compounds found in the diet, it can be useful to think in terms of amount rather than good or bad. The amount of soy isoflavones in a 2-day dose of Qualia Senolytic would be similar to the amount consumed over about 1 week in a diet where fermented soy products are consumed consistently, like the Japanese diet, which has a reputation of being one of the world’s healthiest cuisines.
While there are no special instructions for getting started, a good way to introduce anything new is to start small and increase over time.
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.
Qualia Life 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 Life.*
