Model: Male C57BL/6J mice 
Dosage: 150 mg/kg/day of diallyl sulforated compounds in food

Diallyl sulfonated compounds (DAS), found in garlic, extend the lifespan of mice while counteracting signs of aging, such as grip weakness and memory loss.

Exercise, nutritional support, and lifestyle hacks like cold exposure can all help mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction, a key hallmark of aging.

New Study Shows Cranberry Extract Equivalent to Metformin in Fighting Aging

Fayoum University researchers found that cranberry polyphenols improve metabolic markers, cognition, and oxidative stress to the same degree as the drug metformin.

A new study suggests cranberry extract has effects against aging that rival metformin.

Model: 22-month-old male C57BL/6NIH mice 
Dosage: 400 mg/kg of NR for eight weeks, administered in food

Treating aged mice with the NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) precursor NR (nicotinamide riboside) improves memory and reduces pro-inflammatory immune cells.
