Five ineffective methods of life extension have been named

Doctors have warned that popular "rejuvenating" procedures and supplements have no proven ability to extend life.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to Marie Claire, preventive medicine specialists Hugh Coyne, Mohammed Enayat, and Mica Engel have urged people to take a critical approach to products marketed as ways to slow down aging.

According to the foreign experts, there is no convincing evidence yet for the effectiveness of supplements containing nicotinamide riboside (NR), nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), as well as most "anti-aging" dietary supplements with resveratrol, spermidine, quercetin, and collagen. The same applies to vitamin IV drips and peptides popular among biohackers — their benefits for life extension have not been scientifically confirmed.

The doctors also noted that smartwatches, fitness trackers, and other devices help monitor body metrics but do not make a person healthier on their own and may increase anxiety.

The experts emphasized that no expensive procedures or supplements can replace adequate sleep, proper nutrition, regular physical activity, and giving up unhealthy habits.
