Plant compounds “delay aging” through molecular mechanisms, review highlights

04 Jul 2023 — China-based researchers reviewed the use of natural products, containing polyphenols, saponins, alkaloids and polysaccharides, as potential anti-aging agents by highlighting the nutrient-sensing pathways these products influence for their health effects. 

Although there’s a growing understanding of biological mechanisms involved in aging among scientists, including the most prominent genes and enzymes involved, the authors note that delaying and deterring aging-related diseases in humans is limited.
