Cutting back on one amino acid increases the life expectancy of middle-aged mice by up to 33%
In a new study, mice were given a limited amount of an essential amino acid that slowed down the effects of aging and extended their life span.
Scientists wonder if this research could improve longevity and quality-of-life.
Isoleucine, one of the three branched chain amino acids that we use in our body to make proteins, is one of these. Since our cells cannot produce it, we must get it through sources such as eggs, dairy products, soy proteins, and meats.
