Cocktail of two chemicals could help slow down age-related muscular decline

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have shown that a mixture of 5-aminolevulinic acid(5-ALA) hydrochloride and sodium ferrous citrate (SFC) helps slow down aging-related muscular decline in fruit flies, leading to a slower decline in locomotor activity and longer lifespans.
