    A team of researchers has found that injecting procyanidin C1 (PCC1), a chemical found in grape seed extract, into older mice extended their lifespan. In their paper, the group describes the link between PCC1 and extended lifespan in mice and the experiments they carried out with the material. Scientists have been trying for many years to understand the aging process. The hope is that once it is understood, mitigation efforts can slow or stop the process to allow people to live longer. The researchers screened plant extracts looking for anti-aging capabilities. They came across PCC1. Initial tests showed it reduced...
