China Longevity Pill: A new report has emerged from China that is raising both curiosity and suspicion across the world. A Shenzhen-based biotech company has claimed that in the future humans will be able to live for 150 years. This big statement of this company named Lonvi Biosciences has come at a time when the average human age in the world is between 65 to 70 years.

What is the Longevity Pill and how does it work?

The company says that it has created a special type of longevity pill which can increase the lifespan of the body by slowing down the aging process. This drug targets those old and inactive cells of the body which scientists call “zombie cells”. These cells do not divide themselves but continue to cause inflammation in the body and many age-related problems. Scientists all over the world are researching ways to neutralize such cells.

The main ingredient of this medicine is Procyanidin C1 (PCC1), which is a natural compound obtained from grape seeds. The company claims that very surprising results have been found in the mouse experiment conducted in the lab.

What do the results of experiments on mouse tell?

According to reports, the total lifespan of rats given this drug increased by about 9.4%. Not only this, after the start of treatment, their remaining life expectancy increased by more than 64%. Lonvi Biosciences says these data prove that the right cell-based treatments can dramatically extend lifespan.

The company’s Chief Technology Officer, Liu Qinghua, told The New York Times that it is entirely possible for humans to live to be 150 years old and that significant progress may be seen in this direction in the coming years.

Why is the search for longevity increasing in China?

In the year 2024, the average age of China will become 79 years, which is about 5 years more than the world average. Increasing research, government interest, and private investment have drawn people’s attention to longevity science in China.

Gan Yu, co-founder of Time Pie, a Shanghai-based longevity startup, says there has been a big change in China regarding this topic. He said that earlier no one in China used to talk about longevity. “This was considered to be the interest of rich people of America but now many Chinese citizens themselves are investing in it.”

But should this claim be considered true?

While the company’s claim raises hopes, the scientific community is advising caution. Experts say that the successful tests conducted on rats are just initial indications. Detailed and long-term human trials are necessary before any conclusion can be reached regarding the safety and efficacy of this drug.
