The Rise of China’s Longevity Movement: A Quest to Defy Aging

China’s national project to crush aging encompasses longevity labs, “immortality islands,” and grapeseed pills, as well as exorbitant claims based on sometimes questionable science.

A surge in the Chinese public’s interest in longevity science has led to substantial investments from the state and private companies in aging research.

Eric Verdin, M.D., and Peter Attia, M.D., discuss the controversy surrounding NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), the best method for replenishing NAD+, and more.


Latest Human Trial from the Buck Institute Shows Plasma Exchange Lowers Biological Age

A new human study shows that a procedure involving the replacement of blood plasma with a fresh solution (therapeutic plasma exchange) lowers a measure of how quickly the body is aging (biological age).

In a first-of-its-kind human trial, participants who underwent therapeutic plasma exchange exhibited significantly lowered biological age.
