New Study Shows Cranberry Extract Equivalent to Metformin in Fighting Aging

Fayoum University researchers found that cranberry polyphenols improve metabolic markers, cognition, and oxidative stress to the same degree as the drug metformin.

A new study suggests cranberry extract has effects against aging that rival metformin.

<p>Participants: Adults over the age of 60</p>
<p>Dosage: 3,750 mg of niacin twice daily (after gradual dose increase), 150 mg of dihydroberberine twice daily, 50 mg of taxifolin (with 500 mg of vitamin C and 15 mg of zinc) twice daily, 50 mg of tocotrienols twice daily</p>


A combination of supplements, including the NAD+ precursor nicotinic acid, improves cholesterol, allowing some participants to cease taking statins.  

Study conducted by Professor Emeritus Joseph Keenan, MD, at the University of Minnesota. 

Nicotinic Acid

<p>Model: 24-month-old male C57BL/6J mice </p>
<p>Dosage: 1% w/v of betaine for three weeks </p>


The naturally occurring compound betaine is elevated in healthy adults after long-term exercise and mitigates signs of aging in mice.
