Virtual webinar hosted by the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) and the Academy for Health & Lifespan Research on the current state of existing and emerging drug interventions to extend healthspan:
Areas of Research
- metformin
- glp-1
- sglt2
- lifestyle (sleep, fasting, diet, exercise / physical activity, inflammation control)
Who should be taking these drugs?
Any FDA approved drug can be used on/off label. It's not just older adults.
Aging is a personal issue. We need to track or it may be meaningless:
- biological ageing tests
- methylation tests
Google Search: Dana Smith NYT article on supplements and aging
Supplements can be helpful / hurtful.

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life
Naperville, tell us what you know of this.
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a supplement form of the amino acid cysteine, which is a precursor to glutathione, a powerful antioxidant in the body. By boosting glutathione levels, NAC supports detoxification, immune function, and protects cells from damage caused by oxidative stress.

Also, I was taking vitamin C daily until I read excessive consumption can lead to kidney stones. I am trying to eat more citrus like oranges.

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life
NAC is supposed to be good for you, so is Vitamin C. Only take what they say to take on the bottle, try it out for a few weeks, and reduce it if it is an issue.SpyderEdgeForever wrote: ↑Wed Sep 24, 2025 1:02 pmNaperville, tell us what you know of this.

Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life
I was taking 60+ pills every morning and 10+ every night. Most were supplements and I did that for months but then had an issue with some of my prescriptions so I dropped down to what I knew were OK. I am building back up! I'll weed out the problem supplement(s).SpyderEdgeForever wrote: ↑Tue Sep 30, 2025 11:14 amThank you NapervilleNaperville wrote: ↑Tue Sep 30, 2025 8:36 amNAC is supposed to be good for you, so is Vitamin C.

I spoke with my general practitioner Dr today about my rapamycin and acarbose prescriptions....she was not quite laughing but thought it funny, and was a bit worried because I am going all out.
