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.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: Young C57BL/6J mice fed a high protein (56% of daily calories) diet for 20 weeks 
Dosage: Injection with either 400 mg/kg of NMN or 20 mg/kg of 78c for 4 weeks

High protein intake improves the body composition of aged mice, but it lowers NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) levels and promotes metabolic 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.

Dark Chocolate Compound Linked to Slower Aging, Study Finds

Elevated circulating theobromine—derived from cocoa—was associated with a slower pace of aging, according to two assessments.

A compound derived from dark chocolate, theobromine, circulating at higher levels, is associated with a reduced pace of aging.

Model: 20-month-old male C57BL/6 mice 
Dosage: 3,000 to 4,000 µg of ouabain dissolved in 27,000 to 36,000 µL of PBS injected twice per week every third week over a period of three months

AI Analyzes Millions of Molecular Profiles to Uncover Overlooked Aging Interventions

Harvard and MIT scientists analyze decades of publicly available molecular studies with a new AI platform to uncover hundreds of previously hidden anti-aging strategies, like the drug ouabain.

A new AI platform has uncovered hundreds of pro-longevity agents based on the reanalysis of millions of mouse and human gene expression samples.
