Model: SAMP8 mice 
Dosage: ~25 mg/kg/day of PQQ or PQI administered in food

Supplementing with the antioxidant pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) modestly extends the lifespan of age-accelerated mice while improving their strength.  


Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: 5xFAD mouse model for Alzheimer’s disease 
Dosage: Oral administration of 457 mg/kg/day of glucosamine for 2 weeks

Supplementing with glucosamine, a compound found in our cartilage, increases the risk of mortality from dementia in certain individuals while also worsening memory in mice that model dementia.

Brain &amp; Neurons

Model: Six adults who received intravenous NAD+ and eight adults who received intravenous NR
Dosage: 500 mg of intravenous NAD+ or 500 mg of intravenous NR daily for four consecutive days

Pilot Human Study Supports Safety of NAD+ IV and NR IV Infusions

A Stanford study supports the short-term safety of NAD+ and NR infusion therapies, and participants who received NR infusions exhibited significantly lower HbA1c (a blood test that reflects average blood sugar over two to three months).

A Stanford human trial provides the first data supporting the safety of NAD+ IV and NR IV therapies.

GlyNAC and Exercise for Age-Related Muscle Loss: Mechanisms and Clinical Evidence

Human trials report that GlyNAC and exercise regimens improve dysfunction of the cell’s powerhouses (mitochondria), inflammation, muscle strength, and cognition.

GlyNAC supplementation and exercise alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction, lower inflammation, increase muscle strength, and bolster cognition.

Model: Old male mice
Dosage: 100 mg/kg/day of ALA administered in drinking water

Restoring the naturally occurring antioxidant, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), to the gut wall rejuvenates stem cells and counters age-related gut degeneration in mice and human models.
