High doses of vitamin E boost mice lifespan

[Guest guest]

05/09/2005 - Mice given high doses of vitamin E lived on average 40

per cent longer than a control group, report Spanish and Argentinian

researchers, who suggest the results are down to the vitamin's

antioxidant power.

Vitamin E has been around since at least 1957 - we should have data for humans by now.

Regards.

Hi All,

From the message described below,

“The mice given vitamin E supplements in the study lived an average of 85 weeks

without any negative side effects being observed. The maximal lifespan increased

17

per cent to 136 weeks.”

A normal, healthy, non-genetically-modified mouse should on average live ~900

days,

and ~1200 maximum days. This is ~130 weeks average and ~170 weeks. Therefore,

the

results maybe are not significant.

Vitamin E at high doses improves survival, neurological performance and brain

mitochondrial function in aging male mice.
