New Framework Uncovers 21 Existing Drugs with Pro-Longevity Potential

A new gene network-based framework predicts the potential of existing drugs to confer pro-longevity effects.

A new gene network-based framework predicts already-approved repurposable drugs that may either confer pro-longevity benefits or age-accelerating effects.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: Older adults (60–85 years old) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Dosage: Participants received one gastro-resistant capsule daily for 180 days, containing either 250 mg of Kluyveromyces fragilis yeast extract, 350 mg of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast extract, or a placebo.

Yeast Supplement Improves Cognitive Function in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment

Daily supplementation with nucleotide-rich yeast extracts improves cognitive performance and mental well-being in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, researchers find. 

Brain &amp; Neurons

Model: Six adults who received intravenous NAD+ and eight adults who received intravenous NR
Dosage: 500 mg of intravenous NAD+ or 500 mg of intravenous NR daily for four consecutive days

Pilot Human Study Supports Safety of NAD+ IV and NR IV Infusions

A Stanford study supports the short-term safety of NAD+ and NR infusion therapies, and participants who received NR infusions exhibited significantly lower HbA1c (a blood test that reflects average blood sugar over two to three months).

A Stanford human trial provides the first data supporting the safety of NAD+ IV and NR IV therapies.

Top Evidence-Based Interventions to Lower Biological Age

Epigenetic aging clocks estimate biological age based on DNA molecular tagging patterns, and interventions like semaglutide and ketamine reduce these estimates in humans.

As reviewed in this article, epigenetic aging clocks have estimated the effects of pharmaceutical interventions, lifestyle habits, supplements, and clinical interventions on biological age.

Participants: Healthy, overweight older adults 
Dosage: 6 mg/day of spermidine supplemented orally for 13 weeks

Oxford scientists find that spermidine, a naturally occurring molecule that declines with age, rejuvenates aging immune cells and improves vaccine protection in older adults.
