Cinnamaldehyde extends lifespan in worms.
“feeding worms cinnamaldehyde (CA), the active ingredient in cinnamon oil, prolongs longevity.”
Model organisms
Dietary cinnamon promotes longevity and extends healthspan via mTORC1 and autophagy signaling
Aging cell
Cinnamaldehyde extends lifespan in flies.
“We found that cinnamaldehyde significantly improved the lifespan of both AD and non-AD flies.”
