Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: C57BL/6 mice
Dosage: 500 mg/kg/day of SRN-901 via oral gavage for six days per week starting at 18 months of age; 14.4 ppm of rapamycin mixed in food starting at 18 months of age; 300 mg/kg/day of NMN via oral gavage for six days per week starting at 18 months of age; and 300 mg/kg/day of NR via oral gavage for six days per week starting at 18 months of age

Seragon Publishes Record-Breaking SRN-901 Longevity Data, Demonstrating 33% Lifespan Extension in Mice

In a newly published mouse study, SRN-901 extended remaining lifespan by 33%, slowed frailty progression, and lowered tumor incidence.

Seragon’s SRN-901 extended the remaining lifespan of adult mice by 33%, attenuated frailty progression by 70%, and reduced tumor incidence by 30.53%, according to a newly published preclinical study.

Participants: Healthy adults 
Dosage: An escalating dose of niacin (250-1000 mg/day) for 16 weeks

Finnish scientists used a new measurement system to detect low NAD+ levels in blood samples from people with a range of age-related conditions, but not in healthy older individuals.

Oxford Finds DNA "Rivers" Double Lifespan

Implanting DNA “rivers” into older mice significantly extends their lifespan and reduces age-promoting senescent cells in multiple vital organs.

DNA Repair

Elevating the naturally occurring molecule NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) improves memory and corrects gene-splicing patterns in a worm and a mouse model for dementia.
