The Canadian Longevity Association presents new findings showing that injecting young plasma into older individuals and mushroom-derived ergothioneine extend lifespan in rodents.

Participants: 50- to 80-year-old individuals 
Dosage: A drink containing 1 × 1010 colony-forming units of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis GCL2505 and 2.0 g of inulin per 100 g
