I received some data for the study referenced below:

"Results: The time of death in 50% quails were respectively 205, 304,
322, and 213 days in control, large dosage Fo-ti, small dosage Fo-ti,
and vitamin E groups. The average survival time in 50% dead quails
(M±SD, days) were respectively 144.2±56.9 and 175.7±107.1 in large
dosage Fo-ti and small dosage Fo-ti groups, which were lengthened
remarkably as compared with the control group (89.9±61.9) (P<0.05 and
P<0.01)."

Nice. um, are quails not birds and thus already relatively better at
mitochondria energy and longevity compared to mamals? Or are quails
articularly shotr lived birds? Anyone in the known as to why this
particular bird was chosen for the study?

Anyway, fo-ti looks rather good thus far. Do you have a opinion on fo-ti
as a supplement?

Well, I've looked at all of the available results on PubMed from
published studies and I've started taking it, if that answers your
question. Beyond-a-century.com sells a powdered extract.

Thank you, it certainly answers it. I did expect that too. Thank you for
making that clear however. What amount do you take then?

curious,
Japanese quails are gallinaceous birds (Order Galliformes). Member
species of this order include chicken and turkeys. They are all
short-lived birds which may be why they were chosen as experimental
subjects. I think CR has increased LS in chickens.
