Harvard-trained aging expert Dr. Josh Helman unveils his top five supplements to fight against aging.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: Cybrids composed of Rho0 cells with human platelet mitochondrial DNA from participants between 7 days old and 99 years old 
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

New Study: Combining NR with NAC May Slow Telomere Shortening

New research suggests that nicotinamide riboside (NR) combined with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) prevents telomere shortening linked to genetic sequences within the cell’s powerhouse (mitochondria) in human cells.

Clinical Trials

A molecule known as miR-302b prolongs the life of mice by “waking up” senescent cells — “sleeping” cells that contribute to life-shortening chronic diseases.
