The Interventions Testing Program Shows that Another Eleven Compounds Do Not Slow Aging in Mice

Researchers in a large mouse research program tested 11 compounds claimed to slow aging. They gave the compounds to groups of mice and compared their lifespans with untreated mice. None of the compounds helped the mice live longer under these test conditions. This was a preclinical study, meaning it was done in mice rather than people.

What this means for you: These results give no reason to buy or take these compounds to extend life. They do not directly show what would happen in humans, but the tested compounds did not work in this mouse study.
