Ketamine
Ketamine is a medication initially used for starting and maintaining anesthesia since it was FDA approved in 1970. It induces a trance-like state while providing pain relief and sedation. More recently, it has been found to be a valuable treatment for anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain and addiction.​
Metformin
Metformin, marketed under the trade name Glucophage, is widely
recognized as the first-line medication for treating type 2 diabetes.
Recent studies have suggested its potential in modulating the aging processes, influencing metabolic and cellular pathways critical to aging. It enhances mitochondrial function and reduces oxidative stress, contributing to improved cellular health and longevity.​​
