Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats 
Dosage: 400 mg/kg of magnesium L-theanine and 600 mg/kg of nicotinamide riboside administered orally for 40 days

Scientists find that treating rats with magnesium L-theanine and nicotinamide riboside (NR) counteracts stress-induced metabolic, gut, and liver aging.

Model: UM-HET3 Mice 
Dosage: 0, 75, 150, 300, 600, and 1200 ng epicatechin/mg food; 0, 0.075, 0.15, 0.3, 0.6, and 1.2 ng halofuginone/mg food; and 0, 37.5, 75, 150, 300, and 600 ng mitoglitazone/mg food, all given ad libitum in food starting at seven months old

Three Compounds Show Promise for Male Longevity

Data from a rigorous longevity study show promise for three new compounds, adding to the repertoire of mouse lifespan-extending substances.

The world’s most rigorous longevity study presents data showing promise for three new lifespan-extending compounds in male mice.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: Primary hippocampal neurons from non-transgenic C57BL/6 (nTg) and triple-transgenic 3xTg-AD mice; age groups: young (2–6 mo), middle (8–11 mo), and old (17–28 mo).
Dosage: Nicotinamide 2 mM + EGCG 2 µM applied to cultured neurons for 16 h (in vitro).

Study shows that brief nicotinamide + EGCG treatment restores neuronal energy in 16–24 hours, restores autophagy, reduces amyloid-beta buildup, and boosts neuron survival by ~22% in aging/Alzheimer’s lab models.

At age 99, Dick Van Dyke avoids harmful foods, eats foods high in antioxidants, and keeps moving, a regimen that may have contributed to his astounding longevity.

Model: C3B6F1 hybrid mice 
Dosage: 42 mg/kg of rapamycin and 1.44 mg/kg of trametinib in food starting at 6 months of age

Latest Research: Two FDA-Approved Drugs Additively Extend Lifespan

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have unveiled that combining trametinib with rapamycin, drugs used in cancer treatment, extends average lifespan by 29% in female mice and 27% in male mice, respectively.
