The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Quercefit® or Ubiqsome™ can improve markers of healthy aging, blood sugar control, and heart health in older adults. It will also learn about the safety of these supplements. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do Quercefit® or Ubiqsome™ improve blood sugar, cholesterol, and markers of aging compared to a placebo? 2. What side effects, if any, do participants have while taking these supplements? Researchers will compare Quercefit® (500 mg/day), Ubiqsome™ (300 mg/day), and a placebo (a look-alike capsule with no active ingredient). Participants will: 1. Take their assigned capsules (Quercefit®, Ubiqsome™, or placebo) twice daily for 12 weeks 2. Go to a preferred clinic at the start and end of the study for a fasting blood draw Complete at-home tests: 3. Grip strength testing (using a device mailed to them) 4. Online surveys about fatigue and quality of life 5. Report any side effects and keep track of supplement use
This study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study conducted over a 12-week intervention investigating the effects of Quercefit® (500 mg daily, 250 mg twice daily), Ubiqsome™ (300 mg daily, 150 mg twice daily), or a placebo (twice daily). Participants will be recruited nationally in a decentralized format and will complete testing procedures remotely, with blood draws conducted through partner labs and electronic survey assessments.

Inclusion Criteria: * Males and females aged 50 to 75 years * Participants who meet the requirements of a sedentary lifestyle. Meaning, subjects who do not meet the World Health Organization's (WHO) minimum activity guidelines, of at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, or, 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity a week, plus muscle-strengthening activities at least 2 days per week. Of importance, incidental physical activity (eg, walking to work, household activities) would not meet the standard of being physically active according to WHO guidelines (McKay et al., 2021). * BMI…
