In a randomized clinical trial, active and healthy older adults who took a multi-supplement and omega-3 fatty acids saw a reduction in age-related chronic inflammation after 12 weeks.

The theory says our brain allocates resources to energy-consuming senescent cells at the body’s expense, accounting for gray hair, muscle shrinkage, and other signs of aging.

USC Study: Longevity-Promoting Drug Counteracts a Genetic Predisposition to Alzheimer's

The drug alfatradiol, also known as 17ɑ-estradiol, reduces cognitive errors on a test of memory and lowers neuronal plaques in mice genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease.

(The University of Southern California | College Matchpoint)

Researchers unveil data suggesting the drug alfatradiol improves signs of frailty, reduces cognitive errors, and reduces neuronal plaques in mice with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease.
