Lonvi Biosciences, a laboratory focused on developing technologies aimed at increasing life expectancy, is operating in China. This was reported by The New York Times , "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
Lonvi Biosciences is a startup specializing in longevity medicine. This laboratory is located in the city of Shenzhen, which is located in the southern part of China. The company has created innovative pills that slow down the aging process. They are based on a compound derived from grape seed extract.
The company’s developments are based on scientific research published by a group of scientists from Shanghai. These studies found that procyanidin C1 (PCC1), isolated from grape seeds, can increase the life expectancy of mice by 9.4% and significantly prolongs their life by 64.2% after the start of use.
“Reaching the age of 150 is an absolutely achievable goal. And in a few years, it will become a reality,” said Liu Qinghua, the company’s CTO.
