Model: Female ICR (Institute of Cancer Research) mice
Dosage: ~240 mg/day of pterostilbene within food

Pterostilbene Promotes Fertility in Aged Females

The plant-based antioxidant, pterostilbene, improves egg quality in aged mice, as measured by an increase in live offspring. 

Blueberries are among the richest natural sources of pterostilbene. 

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.

Participants: Adults over the age of 60
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

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.
