Reducing Amino Acid Boosts Lifespan in Mice by 33%

A study published in Cell Metabolism reveals that reducing the intake of the essential amino acid isoleucine in middle-aged mice can extend their lifespan by up to 33% and improve various health metrics. The research suggests that similar dietary adjustments in humans might offer anti-aging benefits, though translating these findings to human diets is complex. The study highlights the potential of targeting specific amino acids for longevity interventions.
