Has a research project at Liverpool University discovered, what may turn out to be the Holy Grail and Elixir of Life? After decades of animal research into longevity Dr.Magalhaes discovered that mice and other research animals can live up to 50% longer, on severely restricted calorie intake diets, but realising the weakness of the human psyche into food restriction, he decided to find an alternative. 1000's of chemical possibilities,were tested for a match to calorie restriction, by computer, coming up with 5 possible options... all were then tested on worms, with one producing very exciting results, that was ALLANTOIN, found in the root of the Comfrey plant, which grows wild in the UK. If you read your cosmetic labels, you may have already come across this chemical, widely used in anti-aging creams. The SIMPLE brand use it in many of their products already! Having wonderful emollient properties that help skin retain moisture, reduces skin irritation from a variety of causes and as a keratolytic, it can improve skin texture, making it feel smoother and reflect light better, also beneficial for treating some skin conditions including psoriasis and eczema. The difference in the research was that the worms were actually fed the compound, not given a rub down with it, and is currently being tested on mice and rats, to see if it prolongs life in larger creatures and then humans. If so, Dr. Magalhaes then hopes to turn it into pill form for human consumption, he is very excited about the findings so far, and is hoping it will provide helpful in heart disease, diabetes, alzheimers and cancer treatments. By the way the treated worms lived 22% longer, than their normal lifespan.
