The anti-ageing drugs have become the pinnacle of increased focus on biotechnology and are linked with innovative clinical preventive drugs. The specialty is initiated on the claim of ground-breaking scientific and medical technologies. These innovative technologies aim to prevent, treat, and restrict age-related disorders. This research paper attempted to examine the various types of drugs and treatments methods for anti-ageing. One of the drugs for anti-ageing cure is rapamycin, which is a remedy that has the capacity to destroy the immune system. Calorie restriction is recommendable because it helps to prolong lifespan among ageing people. Another recommendable drug is metformin, which restores insulin sensitivity for people with type II diabetes. Antioxidants drugs are also crucial for prolonging lifespan. Hormonal therapies are effective treatment for prolonging lifespan of people. Human growth hormone, melatonin, estrogen, which is mostly for women, insulin-like growth factor, and DHEA are among the hormonal therapies vital for prolonging life.
Anti-ageing drugs have become the center of research interest in the recent decades. Anti-ageing cure is drugs that aim to prolong lifespan or reduce ageing among people. Even though age habitually confers wisdom, everyone wants to remain young in body and mind. The quest for people to maintain physical changes at haven has led to formation of huge pharmaceutical industries which aim to offer solutions to ageing. These industries manufacture medicines that increase cognition and help people to keep body’s physical changes at bay. They promise moist skins, strength, and venous vitamins, which blend for energy. Regardless of this effort, it is not yet clear as to whether there is an effective anti-ageing cure since most of the current drugs are not anti-ageing. Therefore, this research paper attempts to examine the types of drugs and effective treatments suitable for anti- ageing.
Effective anti-ageing drugs are those that treat all diseases. In case a medicine is only fundamental for only one disease, that drug is not anti-ageing. Most of the current innovative drugs are not anti-ageing. For example, insulin rewards diabetes but it does not cure cancer. If it does not cure cancer, this means that insulin is not an anti- ageing drug. The studies indicate that the anti-ageing bill has been pushed as a bona fide drug for solving age- related issues [
CR helps to prolong lifespan of ageing people. CR is an effective anti-ageing intervention that delays human ageing. CR is the only known therapy commonly recommended because it does not have any side effect. CR such as restriction of food rich in fats and consumption of junky foods help to reduce diseases such as obesity. Poor food consumption can affect not only the health of people but also their age. In other words, unrestricted food consumption accelerates ageing diseases. CR requires reducing calorie intake while keeping a balanced diet at normal. Therefore, CR delays age-related diseases, and thus administering CR is an effective anti-ageing modality.
Metformin is an oral antibiotic drug that restores insulin sensitivity for people with type II diabetes. It lowers breast cancer. It is an effective drug for cancer management. According to [
Rapamycin is a drug that has the capacity to destroy the immune systems. Rapamycin acts on FK-binding protein 12, a substance that is usually recognized as immunophilin and it binds to immunosuppressive drugs [
Antioxidants drugs are effective for prolonging lifespan. The body has diverse antioxidant mechanisms, which defend itself from any damage that is caused by reactive oxygen species. The body has antioxidant enzymes that demand micronutrient co-factors including copper, manganese, and zinc among others for effective body activities. Inadequate intake of proper diet of these macronutrients will contribute to low antioxidant activities. Therefore, common antioxidants such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C and E, as well as coenzymes, are recommended as effective anti-ageing drugs [
Red wine was also found to be an effective product that acts as antioxidant vital for protecting brain ageing. Even though these products have been proven as effective antioxidants, there is lack of adequate research evidence on their impacts or side effects. However, in a mice experiment, one study found that antioxidants could accelerate development of cancer in mice, as in [
The hormonal level or imbalance usually slows down with age. As a result, many of the oldest treatment methods that still exist today are common anti-ageing therapy, which are based on the idea that hormonal imbalances or changes contribute to ageing. Reversing hormonal changes are imperative. The most common and widely acceptable treatment is using human growth hormone injections (hGH), as in [
There are also other hormones such as melatonin, estrogen, mostly for women, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), and DHEA among others, as in [
