Summary

This study tests whether a dietary supplement called calcium alpha-ketoglutarate (CaAKG) can slow biological aging and improve physical performance and metabolic health in adults aged 40 to 75. Thirty participants will take either CaAKG or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in biological age using a blood-based test called PhenoAge, along with other health markers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: calcium alpha-ketoglutarate (CaAKG) dietary supplement
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary supplement that helps slow biological aging and improve physical health in middle-aged and older adults.
What could go wrong: This is a very small early trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The supplement may have no effect on aging or could cause side effects not yet known.
