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.
