Nectandrin B Extends Life in Flies
Extension of life in short-lived species via manipulation of metabolism using supplements and small molecules tends to be larger than in long-lived species. A 40% extension of life in flies is significant and may modestly improve measures of health in humans.
Phytochemicals like nutmeg have been studied for their potential in healthy aging. Nectandrin B, a compound found in nutmeg, has shown to significantly extend the lifespan of fruit flies and improve age-related symptoms, suggesting potential as a therapeutic agent for promoting longevity and addressing age-related degeneration.
