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.

Harvard-trained aging expert Dr. Josh Helman unveils his top five supplements to fight against aging.

Aging &amp; Longevity

In a randomized clinical trial, active and healthy older adults who took a multi-supplement and omega-3 fatty acids saw a reduction in age-related chronic inflammation after 12 weeks.

While improving immune health, the NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) precursor NR (nicotinamide riboside) may induce anxiety-like behavior in stressed, aged mice. 


The study was funded by the National Institute on Aging, one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). 

A vaccine targeting an enzyme that breaks down NAD+, called CD38, counteracts signs of aging in mice.

NAD+ Supercharges Immune System Recovery in Older Mice

Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, found that young mice need NAD+ breakdown, while old mice need NAD+ boosting.

Model: C57BL/6J mice and Abca1/g1-m/-m mice of both sexes and bone marrow-derived macrophages from C57BL/6J and Abca1/g1-m/-m mice
Dosage: 300 mg/kg of NMN by daily intraperitoneal injection for two weeks, 5 mg/kg of dasatinib and 50 mg/kg of quercetin by oral gavage for five consecutive days every two weeks for three months, and a 500 μM concentration of NMN for bone marrow-derived macrophages in laboratory dishes

Revitalizing Immune Cells & Eye Function: NMN Study Unveils Remarkable Findings

A new study suggests that NMN reverses an age-associated dysfunctional cellular state — senescence — in immune cells and restores eye function in an age-related eye disease mouse model.

Engineered Immune Cells Can Hunt Down and Eliminate Aging Cells

A study demonstrates that engineered immune cells can serve as potent and selective medicine for cells at the center of aging and age-associated diseases.

Participants: Overweight women aged 64 ± 18
Dosage: 20 g of olive oil (mostly monounsaturated fat) in place of margarine in the morning

Certain Fats for Breakfast Reduce Inflammation

Older women who ate olive oil or margarine with breakfast had fewer circulating inflammatory molecules than those who ate butter, suggesting which fat is better for cardiovascular aging.
