Supplements Used to Slow Aging in Mice

Scientists who've found that lab mice get smarter and more agile as they age when fed a mix of nutritional supplements say it may be possible to cure aging.

The diet and supplement plan are not conventional cures, but the animal results at McMaster University in Ontario have showed researchers the aging process can be slowed to avoid the physical and mental declines that to this point have been considered the "natural life cycle".

At Prof. David Rollo's biology laboratory, mice that ate bagel bits soaked in a cocktail of supplements such as B vitamins, vitamin D, ginseng and garlic lived longer than those not taking the special mice chow. Scientists still don't how the supplements actually work and interact in the body.
