Clinical trial set for ‘anti-aging compound’
It’s between Washington University in St. Louis and Keio University in Japan.

An experiment giving NMN to mice found that the compound can reverse age-linked declines in metabolism and eyesight.
The study is planned to be conducted by researchers including Prof. Imai and Keio University, using NMN produced by a Japanese maker. The central government has decided to provide full-fledged support for anti-aging studies from next fiscal year, and is also paying attention to this clinical study.
“We’ve confirmed a remarkable effect in the experiment using mice, but it’s not clear yet how much [the compound] will affect humans,” Imai said. “We’ll carefully conduct the study, which I hope will result in important findings originating in Japan.”

What the hell are they talking about? All you have to do is drink tequila and you look better and better, and not only do you look better, but so does everyone else. It is a miracle in the bottle.
