A study from UC Berkeley found that a combination of oxytocin and A5i extended the lifespan of male mice by up to 73%, but had no effect on females, highlighting sex differences in aging and potential for targeted therapies, with implications for human aging research.
A review suggests that taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily may help preserve telomeres, the protective caps on DNA that shorten with age, potentially supporting longer-lasting health and slowing aging. While promising, experts caution that optimal dosages and long-term effects are still unclear, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle remains the best approach to healthy aging.
Research suggests that cooking methods impact health and longevity, with high-heat techniques like grilling and frying increasing harmful compounds called AGEs linked to aging and disease. Using water-based cooking, marinating, and adding herbs can reduce these compounds, promoting healthier aging.
A study found that combining oxytocin with an Alk5 inhibitor significantly extended lifespan and improved health in aged male mice by reducing biological noise and promoting tissue rejuvenation, with sex-specific differences observed as females did not experience the same benefits. The treatment shows promise for human anti-aging therapies, given the existing approval and clinical trials of the components.
Anti-aging supplements are widely available and popular, promising health and youth benefits, but scientific evidence supporting their long-term effectiveness is limited. While some, like fish oil and vitamin D, show modest benefits, many products lack robust research, and self-experimentation carries risks. Experts advise caution and consultation with healthcare providers before use.
A Harvard-trained doctor recommends five science-backed supplements—Honokiol, Creatine, Nitric Oxide boosters, PectaSol, and NMN—that may support healthy aging by reducing inflammation, improving circulation, maintaining muscle strength, and aiding cellular repair, though further research is needed for some.
The effectiveness of collagen supplements for reducing skin aging is uncertain, with limited scientific evidence supporting their benefits. While some users report improvements in skin brightness, hair, and nails, experts highlight that collagen taken orally may not reach the skin directly, and topical creams are unlikely to penetrate deeply. Industry-funded studies tend to show more positive results, but overall, maintaining skin health is best achieved through sun protection, a healthy diet, and lifestyle choices rather than relying solely on supplements.
