Researchers Believe, They May Have Found a , Chemical Fountain of Youth.
Researchers at Harvard have reportedly
found a "chemical cocktail" that has
the potential to reverse aging. .
'Fortune' reports that the "chemical cocktail"
was able to rejuvenate old cells within
muscles, tissues and organs of mice. .

The results have added to growing interest
in pharmaceuticals that target aging. .
David Sinclair, an aging and longevity expert, and his team at
Harvard said that tests in mice reversed key aging hallmarks , "without erasing cellular identity.".
Studies on the optic nerve, brain tissue,
kidney, and muscle have shown
promising results, with improved
vision and extended lifespan in mice
and, recently, in April of this year,
improved vision in monkeys. , David Sinclair, Aging and longevity expert, via 'Fortune'.

Fortune reports that the "chemical cocktail" includes
valproic acid, which is an anti-seizure medication,
and a cancer drug associated with anti-aging.
Other experts, including Dr. Luigi Fontana, the director of
the Healthy Longevity Research and Clinical Program at
the University of Sydney, have concerns about the results.
These are just preclinical data that
must be validated in well-designed
and adequately powered
human randomized clinical trials, David Sinclair, Aging and longevity expert, via 'Fortune'.
It is essential to rely on rigorous
scientific research and evidence-based
studies before drawing conclusions
about the effects of such
molecules on human health, David Sinclair, Aging and longevity expert, via 'Fortune'.
Dr. Neil Paulvin, a New York–based regenerative and functional
medicine doctor, suggests people should not assume , “that there’s something coming tomorrow that’s
going to help them live another 10 years.”
