Fisetin
▲ Trendingthe senolytic that's still all mice
Marketing intensity 78 of 100. Evidence strength 20 of 100. Verdict: Severely overhyped.
A genuinely interesting 'senolytic' flavonoid that extended lifespan in mice and is now in human trials. But there are no human longevity results yet, and absorption is poor.
Full evidence on Fisetin →Spermidine
▲ Trendingthe autophagy-longevity bet, early in humans
Marketing intensity 72 of 100. Evidence strength 25 of 100. Verdict: Severely overhyped.
A compelling longevity mechanism (it triggers autophagy) with encouraging animal data - but the human cognition trials are small and mixed, not the proven memory aid it's sold as.
