Longevity health claims, checked against the evidence

Plain-English checks of anti-aging drugs, peptides, supplements, tests and treatments—without turning early science into a promise.

Simple answer

Many longevity health claims start with real biology, then overstate what has been proved in people. Use these checks to separate a plausible mechanism or biomarker from evidence of meaningful human benefit, while keeping risk and approval status visible.

This index covers health and anti-aging claims—not unverified claims about people living to extreme ages.

LHN branded editorial cover for claim check: Does TB-500 speed injury recovery?.

peptides

Does TB-500 speed injury recovery?

TB-500 injury-recovery claims are not supported by strong human clinical evidence. The claim often relies on extrapolation from thymosin beta-4 biology and should be treated as unproven.

Longevity drugs

Does rapamycin slow aging in humans?

Rapamycin has unusually strong aging-biology interest, but it is not proven to slow human aging or extend lifespan in healthy adults.

LHN branded editorial cover for claim check: Does NMN raise NAD+ and slow aging?.

NAD & supplements

Does NMN raise NAD+ and slow aging?

NMN may affect NAD-related biomarkers in some studies, but that does not prove it slows human aging. The stronger claim needs clinical outcomes, not only a molecule-level signal.

LHN branded editorial cover for claim check: Is NR better than NMN?.

NAD & supplements

Is NR better than NMN?

There is no simple evidence-based winner between NR and NMN for longevity. Comparisons depend on dose form, endpoints, product quality and whether the outcome is a biomarker or a health result.

LHN branded editorial cover for claim check: Do NAD IV drips reverse aging?.

NAD & supplements

Do NAD IV drips reverse aging?

NAD IV anti-aging claims are not supported by strong evidence. Infusion marketing often uses cellular language that does not prove meaningful aging outcomes.
