Model: Male Wistar rats 
Dosage: 1.5 g/kg/day of orally administered glycine for 5 months

Glycine, an amino acid shown to extend the lifespan of mice, moderately extends the lifespan of flies and counters brain and muscle degeneration in aged rats.

Elon Musk Says Figuring Out How to Reverse Aging ‘Highly Likely’

The business magnate and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, now believes that death is a kind of engineering bug that determined aging scientists can eventually fix.

The high-profile American entrepreneur, Elon Musk, now says figuring out human lifespan extension is highly likely.

Participants: Adults over the age of 60
Dosage: 3,750 mg of niacin twice daily (after gradual dose increase), 150 mg of dihydroberberine twice daily, 50 mg of taxifolin (with 500 mg of vitamin C and 15 mg of zinc) twice daily, 50 mg of tocotrienols twice daily

A combination of supplements, including the NAD+ precursor nicotinic acid, improves cholesterol, allowing some participants to cease taking statins.  

Study conducted by Professor Emeritus Joseph Keenan, MD, at the University of Minnesota.
