Longevity signals.
What serious people are reading about the longevity economy — landmark science, the capital moving in, founder voices, and policy — curated alongside our own evidence layer. Every item links to its source.
The Longevity Operating System
Why, in the AI era, the scarcest asset to manage is no longer your time — but your healthspan. The five-layer system every person can run, and the evidence layer it's missing.
Read the whitepaperThe Hallmarks of Aging: An Expanding Universe
The field's foundational map — twelve hallmarks now define what aging is and where intervention is possible.
Altos Labs launched with ~$3B for cellular rejuvenation
Backed by Bezos and Yuri Milner with Nobel laureate Shinya Yamanaka — the largest private bet that aging is programmable.
Hevolution commits up to $1B/year to healthspan science
Saudi-established and now among the world's largest geroscience funders — sovereign capital is entering longevity.
Bryan Johnson: You will eventually get access to their longevity therapies
The Don't Die founder frames longevity as the next status frontier — and one that eventually democratizes.
Inside Putin's $26 Billion Quest for Longevity
From organ printing to genetics — antiaging research is now treated as a state-level priority.
Outlive turned longevity medicine into a mainstream bestseller
Healthspan, not just lifespan — the consumer demand thesis behind the entire category.
China launches first large-scale stem cell anti-aging trial — 2,000 participants
Amimestrocel (瑞博生), derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, received conditional approval in China in 2025 and is now entering a 2,000-person RCT for aging-related decline. The largest government-backed cellular rejuvenation trial to date.
Taurine deficiency is a driver of aging
A landmark 2023 Science paper showed taurine levels decline ~80% with age and that supplementation extended healthspan in mice and monkeys — triggering a wave of human trials. One of the most-cited longevity papers of the year.
Unity Biotechnology's senolytic UBX1325 shows positive Phase 2 results in diabetic macular edema
The first senolytic to reach Phase 2 with positive data — proof that clearing senescent cells is clinically actionable. Validates the entire senolytic drug class that fisetin and quercetin are the supplement proxies for.
DO-HEALTH: omega-3 + vitamin D + exercise slow biological aging
A 2,157-person RCT in adults 70+ found that the combination of omega-3, vitamin D, and exercise reduced biological aging (epigenetic clocks) by 3–4 months over 3 years. The largest longevity combination trial to date.
Alpha-ketoglutarate supplementation reduced biological age by 8 years in a human RCT
A 2023 placebo-controlled trial found calcium AKG reduced epigenetic (Horvath clock) biological age by a median of 8 years in older adults over 7 months — one of the most dramatic human longevity data points to date. Requires replication at scale.
CALERIE: 25% caloric restriction slows biological aging in humans
The first randomized human trial of caloric restriction — 220 people, 2 years, 25% calorie reduction — showed significant slowing on DunedinPACE epigenetic aging clock. Proof that aging rate is modifiable by diet alone.
Andrew Huberman's longevity protocols reach 50M+ listeners
The Stanford neuroscientist's protocols — cold, heat, sleep, light — brought evidence-based longevity to a mass consumer audience. Largest distribution vector for longevity science outside mainstream media.
52 evidence-graded longevity ingredients — East + West by one standard
Our evidence library now covers 52 ingredients: Western molecules (rapamycin, NMN, AKG, sulforaphane) alongside Eastern tonic herbs (reishi, ashwagandha, baicalin, cordyceps) — each with real RCT counts, meta-analysis totals, and honest null results.
The global longevity clinic market: from $4K checkups to $500K rejuvenation programs
Clinique La Prairie (Switzerland) to Fountain Life (US) to Bioxcellerator (Colombia) — longevity clinics now charge $500–$500,000 per protocol. The market for evidence-backed clinical longevity is doubling every 3 years.
NMN has 16 completed human RCTs — what they actually show
NMN reliably raises blood NAD+ in humans. Muscle, metabolic, and cognitive benefits appear in small trials. The TAME-adjacent question remains: does higher NAD+ slow human aging? Our evidence page shows every trial.
The Dog Aging Project: rapamycin extends healthy lifespan in companion dogs
Randomized rapamycin trials in companion dogs — the largest mammalian longevity trial ever run — reported improved cardiac function and activity. Dogs as a model closes the gap between mice and humans.
GlyNAC corrects 8 aging hallmarks in a human RCT — one of the most comprehensive longevity trials
A small but landmark Baylor RCT showed glycine + NAC supplementation in older adults corrected glutathione deficiency, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation, insulin resistance, and physical decline simultaneously — more hallmarks addressed than any prior single-supplement trial.
KSM-66 ashwagandha meta-analysis: consistent cortisol reduction across 9 RCTs
A 2021 meta-analysis of 9 double-blind RCTs found KSM-66 ashwagandha significantly reduced cortisol, stress, and anxiety with no serious adverse events. One of the most reproducible adaptogen results in the literature.
