Leucyllysine

1. Leucyllysine decreases blue autofluorescence in worms.

   “Blue autofluorescence, an indicator of glycation in C. elegans with age, was also suppressed by LK.”

1. Leucyllysine extends lifespan in worms (+20.9% mean lifespan).

   “both LK and KL significantly prolonged the mean lifespan by 20.9% and 11.7%, respectively.”
