Researchers have long explored how certain compounds may extend lifespan and improve healthspan. One promising medication slows down aging by targeting cellular processes like inflammation, DNA repair, and mitochondrial function. Metformin, for example, is a diabetes drug that has shown potential anti-aging effects in several studies, possibly reducing age-related diseases and promoting longevity.

Another notable medication slows down aging is rapamycin, originally used to prevent organ transplant rejection. It works by inhibiting the mTOR pathway, which plays a key role in cell growth and aging. Early trials suggest rapamycin may delay age-related decline, though more research is needed before it can be widely recommended for this purpose.
