Cornell and UPenn scientists find that mice introduced to the wild as infants age faster than lab mice, but what does this mean for humans?


Epigenetics

Participants: Physically active and healthy older adults 
Dosage: 1 gram of omega-3s (330 mg EPA plus 660 mg DHA) per day, 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day, and 30 minutes of strength training exercises three times per week

While omega-3 supplementation slows biological aging, adding vitamin D and exercise further slows biological aging.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: 40 aged patients with COPD with an average age of 71.9 
Dosage: One gram of NR taken twice daily for a total of two grams per day for six weeks

Fresh Insights: NR’s Effects on Inflammation in Age-Related Lung Disease

Taking nicotinamide riboside (NR) is tied to a 52.6% reduction of an inflammatory protein in the sputum—mucus coughed up from the respiratory tract—of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
