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.

Participants: Older adults (ages 60 to 80) with mild cognitive impairment 
Dosage: 320 mg/day of anthocyanin capsules for 24 weeks

Anthocyanin, a compound found in berries, reduces inflammation and heart disease markers in older adults at risk for dementia.

Mitochondria-Made Molecule Reverses Memory Loss with Advanced Age

A naturally occurring compound, α-lipoic acid, helped elderly mice think like younger mice by restoring energy balance and calming brain inflammation, according to Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University researchers.

Participants: Healthy overweight adults between the ages of 45 and 55 
Dosage: 3 grams/day of ginseng for 28 days

Ginseng Boosts NAD+ and Telomeres: New Study in Middle-Aged Adults

Ginseng supplementation boosts NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and lengthens telomeres in middle-aged adults, suggesting an amelioration of aging.

Model: 11-month-old male C57BL/6J mice 
Dosage: 30 mg/kg/day of NTX-748 (based on a small molecule called 78c) for 4 months, administered orally

Blocking NAD+ Breakdown Improves Cognitive and Physical Performance

Buck Institute scientists find that blocking the CD38 enzyme, which elevates NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), counteracts age-related cognitive and physical decline in mice.
