Model: 24-month-old male and female C57BL/6J mice
Dosage: 3 mg/kg/day, delivered continuously over 8 weeks

Diabetes Drug Elamipretide Reverses Muscle and Heart Aging: New Study Reveals

Scientists show that elamipretide restores muscle and heart function in aging mice but doesn’t affect epigenetic or transcriptomic age.


Cardiovascular

Participants: Physically active and healthy older adults 
Dosage: 1 gram of omega-3s (330 mg EPA plus 660 mg DHA) per day, 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day, and 30 minutes of strength training exercises three times per week

While omega-3 supplementation slows biological aging, adding vitamin D and exercise further slows biological aging.

Aging &amp; Longevity

A molecule known as miR-302b prolongs the life of mice by “waking up” senescent cells — “sleeping” cells that contribute to life-shortening chronic diseases.

Transplanting a population of “young” stem cells from old mice prolongs the lifespan of middle-aged mice and delays manifestations of aging. 

Model: 40 aged patients with COPD with an average age of 71.9 
Dosage: One gram of NR taken twice daily for a total of two grams per day for six weeks

Fresh Insights: NR’s Effects on Inflammation in Age-Related Lung Disease

Taking nicotinamide riboside (NR) is tied to a 52.6% reduction of an inflammatory protein in the sputum—mucus coughed up from the respiratory tract—of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
