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.

GlyNAC and Exercise for Age-Related Muscle Loss: Mechanisms and Clinical Evidence

Human trials report that GlyNAC and exercise regimens improve dysfunction of the cell’s powerhouses (mitochondria), inflammation, muscle strength, and cognition.

(Some GlyNAC tablets above the chemical structure of GlyNAC | Vitamin Retailer)

GlyNAC supplementation and exercise alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction, lower inflammation, increase muscle strength, and bolster cognition.

Participants: Prefrail older adults
Dosage: 50 mg/day of losartan for at least 8 weeks

Losartan, a common blood pressure medication, increases the survival rate of mice and improves the metabolic outlook of pre-frail older adults.

Model: C57BL/6 mice
Dosage: 500 mg/kg/day of SRN-901 via oral gavage for six days per week starting at 18 months of age; 14.4 ppm of rapamycin mixed in food starting at 18 months of age; 300 mg/kg/day of NMN via oral gavage for six days per week starting at 18 months of age; and 300 mg/kg/day of NR via oral gavage for six days per week starting at 18 months of age

Seragon Publishes Record-Breaking SRN-901 Longevity Data, Demonstrating 33% Lifespan Extension in Mice

In a newly published mouse study, SRN-901 extended remaining lifespan by 33%, slowed frailty progression, and lowered tumor incidence.

Seragon’s SRN-901 extended the remaining lifespan of adult mice by 33%, attenuated frailty progression by 70%, and reduced tumor incidence by 30.53%, according to a newly published preclinical study.

Participants: Healthy adults 
Dosage: An escalating dose of niacin (250-1000 mg/day) for 16 weeks

Finnish scientists used a new measurement system to detect low NAD+ levels in blood samples from people with a range of age-related conditions, but not in healthy older individuals.
