GSK and Sirtris: A Bit More

Summary Does this report show that a longevity drug works in people? Show / hide ↓
This is a commentary about a drug company and its longevity research, not a completed medical study. It discusses resveratrol-related drugs being developed to copy some effects linked to calorie restriction. The report does not provide a clear comparison group, a confirmed health benefit, or enough results to judge whether the treatment extends human life. It also does not establish that these drugs are safe for healthy people.
What this means for you: Do not buy supplements or seek treatment based on this report. It is background on drug development, not evidence that a longevity treatment works.
