Could a rice germ extract slow aging at the cellular level?

NCT ID NCT07675200

First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a daily dietary supplement called Miricell, made from rice germ extract rich in spermidine, can improve markers of healthy aging in adults aged 40 to 70. Participants take either the supplement or a placebo for 12 weeks, and researchers measure changes in autophagy (the body's cell-recycling process), brain health, metabolism, and visible signs of aging. The goal is to see if this natural compound can support healthier aging without causing side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Miricell (spermidine from rice germ extract)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary supplement that supports healthy aging by boosting the body's natural cell-recycling process.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The supplement may show no benefit over a placebo.
