Anyone Taking Any Food Supplements That Actually Work?

This is the study that got the human rats experimenting. Note there were only 6 Wistar rats (rats that *usually* get tumours) in the experimental group, and one was I think euthanised - so who knows how long it would have lived.

Abstract
Countless studies showed that [60]fullerene (C60) and derivatives could have many potential biomedical applications. However, while several independent research groups showed that C60 has no acute or sub-acute toxicity in various experimental models, more than 25 years after its discovery the in vivo fate and the chronic effects of this fullerene remain unknown. If the potential of C60 and derivatives in the biomedical field have to be fulfilled these issues must be addressed. Here we show that oral administration of C60 dissolved in olive oil (0.8 mg/ml) at reiterated doses (1.7 mg/kg of body weight) to rats not only does not entail chronic toxicity but it almost doubles their lifespan. The effects of C60-olive oil solutions in an experimental model of CCl4 intoxication in rat strongly suggest that the effect on lifespan is mainly due to the attenuation of age-associated increases in oxidative stress. Pharmacokinetic studies show that dissolved C60 is absorbed by the gastro-intestinal tract and eliminated in a few tens of hours. These results of importance in the fields of medicine and toxicology should open the way for the many possible -and waited for- biomedical applications of C60 including cancer therapy, neurodegenerative disorders, and ageing.

If I had any pet rats then I would feed them some of this.

Not good for humans though.

Humans should eat lots of vegies, sufficient proteins from meat, just enough carbs to give them energy, and fruits.
 
An important role associated with protecting against an individual's skin from looking its age is defined to be able to supply it the particular dietary supplements it requires. Consuming the extra nutritional vitamin supplement actually defines best way to get rid of this problem. My sister was facing the anti aging problem, so tried the collagen supplement from this Site to get rebuild her skin.
