Quercetin (which will also get a delayed clinical trial to see if can treat Covid-19 virus like it treated Ebola virus) and the leukemia drug Dasatinib
are the interesting combo that reduces “senescent cells” that build up as we age
Even in mice who were already well along aging’s path, the senolytic cocktail — a dose of the leukemia drug dasatinib and the dietary supplement quercetin — drove down senescent cells’ numbers, tamped down the inflammation they cause, and reduced the level of disability that comes with age-related diseases. When given to younger mice in which the aging process was jump-started with a transfer of senescent cells, the anti-aging cocktail forestalled the onset of age-related diseases. And the anti-aging effects of a single five-day course of the cocktail lasted for months, the equivalent in humans of more than a decade.
