Longevity Prescription: Diet, Fasting, and Proven Anti-Aging Strategies

Model: C57BL/6N male mice 
Dosage: AIN-93 M diet with 0.025% (15 mg/kg per day) niclosamide for the Old + NL group or 0.050% (30 mg/kg per day) niclosamide for the Old + NH group, starting at 12 months of age to 21 months of age

Drug Approved Against Tapeworms May Counteract Aging, Suggests New Study

New research suggests niclosamide, approved for human use against tapeworms, alleviates frailty and suppresses the protein complex mTOR, which regulates cell growth, in aged mice.

Niclosamide, an agent approved for human use against tapeworms, alleviates age-related frailty, suppresses mTOR, and activates autophagy in old mice.

Participants: healthy adults between the ages of 50 and 81
Dosage: 5 mg/week or 10 mg/week of rapamycin

One of the most potent anti-aging compounds rapamycin — an FDA-approved drug that inhibits mTOR — increases the lean body mass of older women while reducing their pain.
