Anti-Aging Interventions Guide

Here are several lists of 100 top anti-aging interventions including supplements, drugs, lifestyle, exercise, etc. They are ranked by the calculated percent reduction in all cause mortality MR%.

There is a table showing only interventions with full hard science evidence, and table including interventions with some good evidence but falling short of full hard science rules. A separate table shows promising interventions still under research and not likely to available to you now.

This Table
This table ranks 100 evidence-based interventions by estimated all-cause mortality reduction (MR%) based on hard science evidence only.. Data combines:

  • Human clinical r (highest priority)

  • Longitudinal cohort studies

  • Biomarker changes (e.g., NAD+ levels, senescent cell clearance)

Abbreviations
MR% = Mortality Reduction % (10-year estimate)
T = Type: [D]rug, [S]upplement, [L]ifestyle
$ = Monthly cost (USD low estimate)
Dose = Daily unless noted (wk=weekly, mo=monthly)
Time = When to take: M=Morning, N=Noon, P=PM, W=Weekly, D=Daily
Link = Amazon product (affiliate links support research)

 

Data Sources and Limitations

1. Top-tier interventions (MR% ≥15%):
– Based on RCTs (e.g., rapamycin ITP study)
2. Mid-tier (MR% 5-14%):
– Meta-analyses (e.g., Vitamin D & cancer mortality)
3. Conservative estimates:
– Animal study results discounted 50% for humans
