Participants: Healthy older adults 
Dosage: 1 mg/day of rapamycin for 8 weeks

Older adults taking low-dose rapamycin exhibit a reduction in senescent cells — cells that contribute to age-related diseases and a shorter lifespan.

Immunity

Eric Verdin, M.D., and Peter Attia, M.D., discuss the controversy surrounding NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), the best method for replenishing NAD+, and more.


Making CAR-T Cells Young Again: Restoring NAD+ to Rejuvenate Immunotherapy in Aging

A combined treatment of NMN with 78c (a small molecule that inhibits an NAD+-degrading enzyme) enhances the effects of the anti-cancer CAR-T cell therapy in aged mice and human cells.

Cancer

Participants: Healthy middle-aged adults (average age: 55)
Dosage: 100 mg/day of Monarda didyma L. extract, preferably at lunchtime with plenty of water, for 12 weeks

An extract made from Monarda didyma L. reduces the biological age of older adults while improving their quality of life.

Clinical Trials

Model: Ten-month-old male EFAD mice 
Dosage: 14.4 ppm of alfatradiol in diet for five months

USC Study: Longevity-Promoting Drug Counteracts a Genetic Predisposition to Alzheimer's

The drug alfatradiol, also known as 17ɑ-estradiol, reduces cognitive errors on a test of memory and lowers neuronal plaques in mice genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease.

(The University of Southern California | College Matchpoint)

Researchers unveil data suggesting the drug alfatradiol improves signs of frailty, reduces cognitive errors, and reduces neuronal plaques in mice with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease.
