Model: Older adults (60–85 years old) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Dosage: Participants received one gastro-resistant capsule daily for 180 days, containing either 250 mg of Kluyveromyces fragilis yeast extract, 350 mg of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast extract, or a placebo.

Yeast Supplement Improves Cognitive Function in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment

Daily supplementation with nucleotide-rich yeast extracts improves cognitive performance and mental well-being in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, researchers find.

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.

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.

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.

(The principal investigator behind the review on interventions that influence biological age, Dr. David Sinclair | The Society of the Four Arts)

As reviewed in this article, epigenetic aging clocks have estimated the effects of pharmaceutical interventions, lifestyle habits, supplements, and clinical interventions on biological age.
