How it works
A senolytic flavonoid found in fruits and vegetables; clears senescent cells in aged-tissue and animal models. Human data is still early.
The evidence
Promising mechanism with mostly preclinical or small-sample human data. We flag the uncertainty.
What the evidence supports
Supports healthy aging and cellular balance.

- Rapamycin alternatives for aging dogs and cats: what's actually claimed, and what has evidence
If rapamycin isn't right for your animal, several supplements and one serious drug programme are sold as alternatives. Here's an honest ranking of what the evidence supports — and where it runs out.
- Cancer in dogs: the real risk, the prevention claims, and what evidence supports
Cancer is a leading cause of death in older dogs, which makes it the area where hopeful claims spread fastest. Here is what actually lowers risk or catches it early — and an honest look at whether rapamycin belongs in that list.
- Do dog and cat longevity supplements work? A graded audit of the shelf
We went compound by compound through the ingredients sold as pet longevity supplements and graded each on honest evidence — including the ones with a beautiful mechanism and no outcome data. A field guide for the sceptical buyer.
- The longevity compounds, and how strong the evidence really is
An honest, compound-by-compound map of the pet-longevity literature — with a graded evidence badge and primary-source citations for every molecule, including the ones that disappoint.
- Spermidine and fisetin: promising, and still early — on purpose
Two compounds we include with clear evidence-stage flags, because pretending they're settled would break our own rules. A look at autophagy, senolytics, and mixed human data.
