Harvard-trained aging expert Dr. Josh Helman unveils his top five supplements to fight against aging.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: UM-HET3 mice and 5XFAD mice 
Dosage: UM=HET3 mice received 180 mg/kg canagliflozin in chow starting at seven months of age, and FXFAD mice received 180 mg/kg canagliflozin in chow beginning at three months of age

New Study: Diabetes Medication Improves Cognition and Alleviates Alzheimer’s Progression

The diabetes drug canagliflozin improves learning and memory in middle-aged male mice and reduces brain plaques in Alzheimer’s model mice.

The FDA-approved diabetes medication canagliflozin improves cognition in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease in males only.

Brain &amp; Neurons

Model: Healthy adults between 21 and 79 years of age 
Dosage: 395 mg/kg of bodyweight of (R)-3-hydroxybutyl-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate monoester (𝛽-hydroxybutyrate ketones) diluted in water and administered once

New Study Finds Midlife May Be a Critical Window to Prevent Brain Aging

A new study suggests that supplementing with ketones—molecules the body can use for energy when lacking sugars—prevents cognitive aging when administered in people’s 40s and 50s.

Based on age-related destabilized brain signaling, a new study suggests a critical midlife window where metabolic interventions may stabilize brain signaling.

Cognitive deficits were reduced by 52% in Alzheimer’s disease patients receiving transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) — a technique that stimulates the brain’s electrical activity.

Dr. Sinclair and collaborators show that an age-reversal technology that rejuvenates cells protects neurons from inflammation and cell death in mice.
