Model: 5xFAD mouse model for Alzheimer’s disease 
Dosage: Oral administration of 457 mg/kg/day of glucosamine for 2 weeks

Supplementing with glucosamine, a compound found in our cartilage, increases the risk of mortality from dementia in certain individuals while also worsening memory in mice that model dementia.

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.

(The principal investigator behind the review on interventions that influence biological age, Dr. David Sinclair | The Society of the Four Arts)

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: Older adults (ages 60 to 80) with mild cognitive impairment 
Dosage: 320 mg/day of anthocyanin capsules for 24 weeks

Anthocyanin, a compound found in berries, reduces inflammation and heart disease markers in older adults at risk for dementia.
