Model: C3B6F1 hybrid mice 
Dosage: 42 mg/kg of rapamycin and 1.44 mg/kg of trametinib in food starting at 6 months of age

Latest Research: Two FDA-Approved Drugs Additively Extend Lifespan

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have unveiled that combining trametinib with rapamycin, drugs used in cancer treatment, extends average lifespan by 29% in female mice and 27% in male mice, respectively.

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

Model: Healthy adults between 21 and 79 years of age 
Dosage: 395 mg/kg of bodyweight of (R)-3-hydroxybutyl-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate monoester (𝛽-hydroxybutyrate ketones) diluted in water and administered once

New Study Finds Midlife May Be a Critical Window to Prevent Brain Aging

A new study suggests that supplementing with ketones—molecules the body can use for energy when lacking sugars—prevents cognitive aging when administered in people’s 40s and 50s.

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.
