Model: C57BL/6J mice 
Dosage: Eating only within an 8-hour window and fasting for 16 hours (~20% caloric deficit may be required)

Restricting food intake for 16 hours a day improves the health of female mice and moderately prolongs the life of male mice.

Approved Human Study Sets Up Pivotal Test for Aging Theory from Harvard’s David Sinclair

In a major proving ground test for the longevity field, the FDA has given its approval for a human trial for a gene therapy attempting a near-total rejuvenating reset of cells.

The FDA has greenlighted Life Biosciences’ first human trial testing whether their gene therapy can confer a near-total rejuvenating reset of cells.

Clinical Trials

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.
