The UN’s Brief on the Biology of Aging

A new brief from the United Nations (UN) Scientific Advisory Board examines the latest developments in geroscience—a field devoted to delaying, preventing, and treating diseases linked to aging.

A new United Nations brief examines how researchers are addressing an aging global population with geroscience—a field seeking to understand how to intervene against aging.

Participants: Werner syndrome patients 
Dosage: 1 gram of NR per day for 26 weeks

The NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) booster NR (nicotinamide riboside) improves cardiovascular health in Werner syndrome patients.

Latest Human Trial from the Buck Institute Shows Plasma Exchange Lowers Biological Age

A new human study shows that a procedure involving the replacement of blood plasma with a fresh solution (therapeutic plasma exchange) lowers a measure of how quickly the body is aging (biological age).

In a first-of-its-kind human trial, participants who underwent therapeutic plasma exchange exhibited significantly lowered biological age.

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

Model: Two-month-old male C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet to induce obesity 
Dosage: 400 mg/kg/day of NR for eight weeks

Scientists find that NR (nicotinamide riboside) supplementation preserves brown fat tissue in mice, reducing their body weight and maintaining the health of their mitochondria.
