Study design: Tracks 200 people over one year and measures a suite of biomarkers at the beginning, 6 months, and 12 months. Participants are randomly assigned to one of four dosages or a placebo. Double blind.
The study hopes to find an optimal dose for humans using the various biomarkers as a guide. I’m not sure how well we can connect those biomarkers to actual longevity/healthspan.
