Chinese Biotech Firm Claims Anti-Aging Pill Could Enable Living to 150
Imagine your body has old, worn-out cells that aren't doing their job anymore.
These are called 'zombie cells'.
A company in China has made a pill from a special part of grape seeds that they believe can get rid of these zombie cells.
By clearing out the old cells, they think people could live much longer, maybe even up to 150 years old!
They say this is realistic and could happen very soon.
Scientists have seen that a similar ingredient can help mice live longer and healthier lives.
While this sounds exciting, experts say more testing on people is needed to be sure it works safely.
Lonvi Biosciences, a Chinese startup, claims its anti-aging pill could enable humans to live to 150.
The pill is based on Procyanidin C1, a compound found in grape seed extract, which targets and eliminates senescent ('zombie') cells.
Company officials believe this technology could realistically extend human lifespans significantly within a few years.
Research published in Nature Metabolism showed that procyanidin C1 extended lifespan and health span in mice.
While promising, experts suggest larger clinical trials are necessary to confirm the pill's effectiveness and safety in humans.
