Model: 20-month-old female C57BL/J mice 
Dosage: 10 nmol/kg/day of semaglutide

Semaglutide extends mouse lifespan and targets signs of aging, such as diminished NAD+, while mimicking the anti-aging effects of caloric restriction (consuming fewer calories). 


The study was led by Dr. Danica Chen (image: berkeley.edu).

Model: Male C57BL/6J (B6) mice (15 months old at the start of treatment)
Dosage: Approximately 5 mg/kg/day of S-1-propenyl-L-cysteine (S1PC) was administered orally for 8 months, from 15 to 23 months of age. S1PC was given in chow containing 0.0025% S1PC, with a second experiment using drinking water to confirm the findings.

Researchers found that a compound found in garlic supports healthier muscle aging by boosting cellular defenses linked to longevity and maintaining physical performance.

Longevity Medicine’s Peptides Craze: Evidence, Delivery Challenges, and Expert Opinions

Advocates say peptides offer significant benefits against aging, while researchers warn that these claims outpace the evidence.

Proponents say peptides offer significant effects against aging, while skeptical scientists say these claims outpace the evidence.

Model: Male Wistar rats 
Dosage: 1.5 g/kg/day of orally administered glycine for 5 months

Glycine, an amino acid shown to extend the lifespan of mice, moderately extends the lifespan of flies and counters brain and muscle degeneration in aged rats. 

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