Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) supplementation lowers Biological agE in middle-aged adults (ABLE study)
Aim:
To see if AKG affects our DNA methylation in a way that shows people are ageing slower. DNA methylation is one way to measure biological age (how old your body really is).
Who we are looking for:
Middle-aged people (aged 40-60)
What should you expect:
We will arrange a screening visit for you. During this visit, we will know your biological age. If you are eligible, you will be invited back for 4 visits over 9 months.
For the first 6 months, you will either take the AKG supplement or a placebo (a visually identical pill with no therapeutical effect). Everyone involved won’t know who’s getting what, to keep the results honest. You will be invited back for a follow-up visit 3 months later.
