Now, you know as well as I do that this is not your grandfather's House subcommittee meeting.  It's right up there with the recent    UFO-related House committee hearings. This hearing was really, really good!  Three of the top experts in this "fountain of youth" field testified: • Dr. Jay Olshansky "Geroscience has come of age. It is the culmination of decades of research. It is not a theoretical construct – it has been demonstrated in the laboratory that rate of aging can be modified..."  • Dr. Laura Niedernhofer  "A Geroscience approach is anticipated

Nicotinamide Riboside, Etc., Etc. Etc..... In the longevity extender greyhound race (the real rabbit is healthy life extension), there are a few contenders running around the track. We don't realize the rabbit we're chasing is fake.  But hey...* Those in the race There's resveratrol from red wine grapes, peanuts, blueberries and a bunch more foods. There's trans-resveratrol from Japanese knotweed. (Not weed!) And  Pterostilbene , a variant on resveratrol. And Metformin, the well tolerated treatment for diabetes. Plus  Rapamycin (prescription), the  immunosuppressant used in organ transplants. (This one's kind of scary to me - side effects and all.  Now COMING UP FROM BEHIND is  Nicotinamide Riboside.  This one sprang into general awareness thanks to the entrepreneur's magazine Fast Company . They had a youthifying headline: One Of The World's Top Aging Researchers Has A Pill To Keep You Feeling Young The top resea

Getting All Flowery. And  Ayurvedic   New Front Opened in the War On Aging - Telomerase Adding a new substance to the brew of my "life extension" (anti-aging) formula. It's a hobby. The little end-caps on your DNA are telomeres. They wear out or fall off letting the DNA leak all over the kitchen floor which is an aging experience. Telomerase keeps the telomeres functional.  One supplement outfit that I subscribe to,  LiveCellResearch.com scans credible research and puts together attractive supplement combinations based on recent findings.
