A team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai says injecting elderly rodents with a grape seed extract increased their remaining time by more than 60 percent. It also boosted overall lifespan by nine percent, equivalent to more than a decade in a human.

Corresponding author Dr. Yu Sun says the plant chemical has “high potential” as a clinical intervention to delay, alleviate, and even prevent illnesses. The flavonoid known as PCC1 flushes out “zombie” or “senescent” cells that have stopped dividing. These aging cells accumulate naturally as people get older and release chemicals that cause inflammation.

“Ageing-associated functional decline of organs and increased risk for age-related chronic pathologies is driven in part by the accumulation of senescent cells,” Dr. Sun and researchers write in the journal Nature Metabolism.

“Here we show that procyanidin C1 (PCC1), a polyphenolic component of grape seed extract (GSE), increases the health span and lifespan of mice through its action on senescent cells.
