Model: 5xFAD mouse model for Alzheimer’s disease 
Dosage: Oral administration of 457 mg/kg/day of glucosamine for 2 weeks

Supplementing with glucosamine, a compound found in our cartilage, increases the risk of mortality from dementia in certain individuals while also worsening memory in mice that model dementia.

Model: Old male mice
Dosage: 100 mg/kg/day of ALA administered in drinking water

Restoring the naturally occurring antioxidant, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), to the gut wall rejuvenates stem cells and counters age-related gut degeneration in mice and human models.

Top Evidence-Based Interventions to Lower Biological Age

Epigenetic aging clocks estimate biological age based on DNA molecular tagging patterns, and interventions like semaglutide and ketamine reduce these estimates in humans.

As reviewed in this article, epigenetic aging clocks have estimated the effects of pharmaceutical interventions, lifestyle habits, supplements, and clinical interventions on biological age.

Japanese scientists have found that reducing NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) transport into mitochondria within the fat tissue of mice induces metabolic dysregulation and obesity. 

Duke University scientists have successfully induced new neuronal connections in the brains of mice, leading to improvements in social interaction and stress resilience.
