Participants: Healthy, overweight older adults 
Dosage: 6 mg/day of spermidine supplemented orally for 13 weeks

Oxford scientists find that spermidine, a naturally occurring molecule that declines with age, rejuvenates aging immune cells and improves vaccine protection in older adults. 


Study conducted at the University of Oxford in England. 

Immunity

Participants: Sedentary older adults 
Dosage: 6 mg/week of rapamycin

In older adults, the FDA-approved drug rapamycin, associated with prolonging lifespan, blunts improvements in physical performance.
