To date, we know of only two things that can reverse the effects of aging: caloric restriction and extensive exercise . But in a recent experiment, researchers applied a new compound to 2-year old mice, causing their muscles to regenerate to 6-month old levels. Incredibly, human trials may start next year. The new compound, nicotinamide mono nucleotide (NMN), worked surprisingly quickly when tested on mice. When administered early enough in the aging process, it was found to work within one week; the muscles of older 2-year old mice were "indistinguishable" from the younger 6-month old animals. It improved muscle wastage, restored mitochondrial function and communication, and improved inflammation and insulin resistance, both of which are known causes of aging. To put it into perspective, this result was like regenerating the muscles of a 60-year old human to those of a 20-year old.

Do these startling longevity studies mean your lifespan could double?
