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.

The Rise of China’s Longevity Movement: A Quest to Defy Aging

China’s national project to crush aging encompasses longevity labs, “immortality islands,” and grapeseed pills, as well as exorbitant claims based on sometimes questionable science.

A surge in the Chinese public’s interest in longevity science has led to substantial investments from the state and private companies in aging research.

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.
