  Royal Jelly / Propolis RJ extended the average mice lifespan by about 25% compared to the control group. Epigenetic programming (via bee propolis) makes bees and ants live many times longer. It's very interesting. ( video ) Increased RBC and Hematocrit after 6 months (+0.9%). Royal Jelly prolongs the life span of C3H/HeJ mice: correlation with reduced DNA damage, 2003 In this study, we investigate the effect of dietary Royal Jelly (RJ) on tissue DNA oxidative damage and on the life span of C3H/HeJ mice. In C3H/HeJ mice that were fed a dietary supplement of RJ for 16 weeks, the levels of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a marker of oxidative stress, were significantly reduced in kidney DNA and serum. Secondly, we determined the effect of dietary RJ on the life span in C3H/HeJ mice. The 50% mice survivals of intermediate- (about 6 mg/kg weight) and high-dose groups (about 60 mg/kg weight) were reached at significantly longer times than that of the control group according to the

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)

  An organosulfur (an organic compound that contains sulfur). Potent antioxidant that is both water- and fat-soluble, which means it can work in every cell or tissue in the body.  This is unusual when compared to other antioxidants, which are typically either water- or fat-soluble.  These antioxidant properties may be linked to benefits such as lower blood sugar, reduced inflammation, improved nerve function, weight loss, and slowed skin aging. A coenzyme involved in cellular metabolism and the Krebs cycle, a series of chemical reactions used by mitochondria to transform energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ( link ). ALA treatment significantly reduced  weight (WMD: -2.29 kg, 95% CI: -2.98, 1.60, P < .01)  BMI (WMD: -0.49 kg/m2 , 95% CI:-0.83,-0.15, P = .005) In patients diagnosed with metabolic diseases, significantly decreased ( link ) C-reactive protein (CRP) (SMD = − 1.52; 95% CI, − 2.25
