Overview

This video discusses the potential lifespan-extending properties of Nectandrin B, a compound found in nutmeg. It compares its effects to rapamycin, a known lifespan extender, using data from fruit fly studies. The video also touches upon Nectandrin B's role in preventing cellular senescence.

Key takeaways

• Nectandrin B significantly increased the lifespan of fruit flies (Drosophila), similar to the effects of rapamycin.
• While median lifespan showed only a minor increase with Nectandrin B and rapamycin, maximal lifespan saw a significant extension.
• The positive effects on lifespan were observed in both male and female fruit flies.
• Nectandrin B has been shown to prevent cellular senescence in fibroblasts, which are found in connective tissues like skin, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.
• The optimal dosage of Nectandrin B or nutmeg for health benefits is currently unknown.
