They\u2019ve been promising eternal youth since the first snake-oil salesman bottled spring water. Now a Chinese biotech startup says it might actually have the chemistry right. Lonvi Biosciences claims its new pill could stretch human life to 150 years.<\/p>\n

The Shenzhen-based company, backed by China\u2019s booming longevity sector, says it has developed a pill that could theoretically extend human life to 150 years. The company\u2019s formula targets so-called \u201czombie cells\u201d\u2014aging cells that refuse to die, triggering inflammation and age-related disease. \u201cThis is not just another pill. This is the Holy Grail,\u201d said<\/a> CEO Ip Zhu, describing the capsule as a breakthrough that could make extreme longevity a reality.<\/p>\n

The drug\u2019s key ingredient, procyanidin C1 (PCC1), is derived from grape seeds and has shown lifespan extension in lab animals. In Lonvi\u2019s own mouse trials, the treatment reportedly increased overall lifespan by 9.4 percent and extended life by 64 percent from the first day of treatment. \u201cLiving to 150 is definitely realistic,\u201d said Chief Technology Officer Lyu Qinghua in an interview with The New York<\/em><\/a> <\/em>Times<\/em><\/a>. \u201cIn a few years, this will be the reality.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
