What's Available Now
Some interventions can already be used today to slow, halt, or partially reverse aspects of aging. Some examples of what is available now:
Low-Level Light Therapy for Skin Rejuvenation
Section titled “Low-Level Light Therapy for Skin Rejuvenation”- Red and near-infrared light applied to the skin boosts collagen production and blood flow. Over 8–16 week courses it modestly reduces wrinkles and improves skin elasticity and texture, though the benefits fade gradually once treatment stops.
- A plant compound found in strawberries, taken intermittently at high doses as a senolytic to clear senescent “zombie” cells. Mouse data are promising, but large human efficacy trials are still pending.
- Intravenous EDTA, a synthetic amino acid, binds and carries unwanted metals out of the body. Beyond detoxification, it is used to rejuvenate the cardiovascular system, with trial evidence of reduced heart attacks and strokes.
- NAD⁺ is a coenzyme central to cellular energy metabolism that declines with age. Oral precursors such as niacin reliably restore blood levels within weeks; early signals point to lower inflammation and better sleep, while metabolic and lifespan effects remain uncertain.
- A long-acting vessel-relaxing medication best known for treating erectile dysfunction and prostate-related urinary symptoms. Once-daily low-dose use is of longevity interest for improving blood-vessel function, with early signals for heart-event and dementia prevention.
- A long-acting blood-pressure drug with sustained 24-hour coverage and a mild metabolic effect uncommon in its class. It lowers cardiovascular events in high-risk people and also improves insulin sensitivity and reduces visceral fat.
- A prescription MAO-B inhibitor that slows the brain’s dopamine breakdown with age, used clinically in Parkinson’s disease and depression. Low-dose off-label use for longevity rests on lifespan extension shown in animal studies.
- This is only a top-level selection. A full set of evidence reviews — covering almost every longevity intervention discussed by the community to date — can be found on Evipedia.
