Test longevity products and animal health metrics with your animal lifespan testing service!

For example a pig, rodent, nematode, or daphnia facility ready for longevity-focused trials.

A wake‑up call for consumers and the longevity industry: avoiding animal lifespan studies does not spare harm; it creates mass bombs to millions of humans. We urgently need to screen the emerging longevity products on animal lifespan tests, both to help guide longevity - this is the great side - and to reduce long term risks. This, because long term human tests can't be ordered. Animal lifespan tests are needed. Failure to do so is shallow marketing, not serious longevity and not serious about you.

Here, it is needed to enlighten the longevity industry and the consumers.

No real nor sustainable longevity industry without animal lifespan testing

  • “Short‑term human signals” are not enough. A biomarker moving in the “right” direction today does not guarantee longer life nor long‑term safety. The most likely outcome of a longevity industry that does not rely on long term health tests is sadly that some products will actually be detrimental and that we build ...a mass bomb for humanity.
  • The best and only practical solution found is animal lifespan tests. Mice and especially rats live only 3 years while having roughly similar major causes of death as us. While their representativity of specific diseases is not clear, they are a good model for overall health improvement over time.
  • You cannot run 10–40 year human trials for every idea. Lifespan and durable healthspan can be established in animals on meaningful timeframes.
  • Only lifespan/healthspan in animals gives early, decisive evidence.
  • Underpowered studies waste animals and mislead people. Cutting cohort size or duration for optics produces inconclusive results that still consume animals and years—while letting unproven products spread.
In short, one can only test longevity in animals. Human 40-year tests are not practicable. So without animal lifespan tests, you don't have much clues of whether something new will make you live longer. Think of oxygen chambers or teas, or right light therapy etc.
  • Same thing explained with more words: many so-called longevity products are sold with limited human health data and no animal lifespan tests. Human health evidence will hopefully accumulate over time toward a view on short-term impacts—at least that is the current trend. However, how do we guess if these products increase human longevity? How do we know they do not result in more cancers, cardiovascular risks, or hormonal or immune dysfunction? The strongest signal is when animals show comparable short-term benefits and also live longer. This is the best we can do today because knowledge from cells, organs, or AI remains insufficient to judge overall long-term health. This is the longevity opportunity. Ignoring it is like walking in the dark and hoping not to fall off a cliff.
  • The translation to humans is questioned for specific diseases and birth defects - a huge topic in disease-specific healthcare. But in terms of longevity and general overall health, many things that extend the lifespan of nematodes and fruits flies also extend life in rodents so it would be surprising that the translation for species to species stops just for humans.
  • We love animals. We have no external reason to want animal tests. It is just that human longevity without animal lifespan tests is like shooting in the dark. It would be very sad that the longevity industry is essentially a scam. This is about the reality and the sustainability of a longevity industry.

How to use animal tests for your products

  • Pigs live 15-20 years, this is generally too long to test on lifespan. Mice and rats are particularly good candidates. They are mammals like us but live 3 years. If started at mid age, this is 1.5 year-long experiments in dedicated centers (with pre-existing adequate environment/team/protocols/logistics/authorizations etc). Mice were shown to live longer with products that are also good for most people over some time and notably elderlies (small dose aspirin, canaglyflozin = SGLT2 inhibitor, glycine and cysteine, acarbose, and of course physical activity, non-boredom and diet limitations). There are questions regarding rapamycin but it may be due to an inadequate translation in its administration - this is part of research. Mice die more than us from cancer and less from cardiovascular diseases so if something makes mice live long it is less likely to be carcinogenic; rats die more like us in terms of main large causes of death so are a priori more representative, but tests in rats are more expensive.
  • An alternative route to verifying in animals a potential longevity effect in humans is to search for longevity products in animals and then see which ones translate to humans in terms of short-term health patterns. Short-lived animals like nematodes or daphnia (about 1 month lifespans) can then be used as a preliminary filter to reduce the number of products to be tested in rodents. The idea is that what translates in terms of longevity effects between short-lived animals and rodents, and in terms of short-term health patterns between rodents and humans, seems very likely to translate into human long-term health as well. This process (using small animals) can be used for a choice among various possibilities: to optimize proportions of a longevity mix, or to choose to sell supplements that seem to matter.
