Harvard’s Dr. David Sinclair believes an age-reversing pill may become available within a decade and that researchers may find a way to one day double human lifespan.

<p>Model: Cybrids composed of Rho0 cells with human platelet mitochondrial DNA from participants between 7 days old and 99 years old<br />
Dosage: 5 mM of n-Acetyl-L-Cysteine and 3 mM of nicotinamide riboside, with medium changed every three days until the cell population reached between 1 and 10 million</p>


New Study: Combining NR with NAC May Slow Telomere Shortening
