The claim
A flavonoid with senolytic action, often combined with dasatinib.
What the evidence says

Key studies
- [1]
Mechanism
Selective induction of apoptosis in senescent cells; antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
Safety
Good tolerability as a dietary component; senolytic protocols belong in a clinical setting.
Dosage context
Low bioavailability; doses and cycles vary widely across studies.
From the field
The senolytic field is promising but young: caution on the grade.
