ras Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Nine healthy subjects who took a three-drug cocktail for a year seem to have reversed their biological ages by 2 1/2 years, as indicated by changes to their epigenetic clocks. The news write-up in Nature is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccoy Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 I believe we all know tha caution should govern in these cases: taking drugs is very often a trade-off and there are some hazards of unwanted collateral effects. First of all, do we really need HGH, is our IGF-1 so low, are we metabolically healthy or not, and so on. In that study there has not been a control arm. There are probably no doubts that in some subjects that cocktail might be beneficial, the hallmark of ''safe eligibility' to the treatment should be specified though.
