Epitalon, perhaps one of their most successful discoveries, has been in vogue outside of Russia for several […]

Tens of thousands of patients who have had to undergo an organ transplant owe their lives to this drug. Forty years later, that same rapamycin is quickly gaining popularity in the longevity scene. Does rapamycin extend […]
Read More »If it’s up to some pharmaceutical companies, in some countries the vitamin B3 analog nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) may soon no longer be available as a supplement, but as an undoubtedly expensive drug that reduces aging symptoms and extends life.

In the 2020s, quercetin seems to have lost a lot of its luster. Other supplements became popular, displacing quercetin from its once prominent place. In this blog we explain why we still consider […]
Read More »On the world wide web, thousands of web shops sell a carbon molecule that British chemists, experimenting with laser technology, discovered by accident in the 1980s. The British called this molecule Carbon 60 (C60) and, according a well-known animal study, it is capable of doubling lifespan. However, another and less well-known animal study suggests that […]
