Anti-aging drug cocktail teases significant lifespan extension in early experiments

Five drugs were ultimately included in the experiments, including a antibiotic called rifampicin, an immunosuppressive agent called rapamycin, and metformin, a drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. After extensive tests the researchers discovered a novel triple-cocktail of rapamycin, rifampicin, and allantoin resulted in the best lifespan-extending effects.
