I am already doing intermittent fasting, exercising (almost daily) and taking supplementary vitamins but nothing other than this.

Liz Parish of Bioviva has treated herself with all of these antiaging gene therapies.
If humans experienced the same antiaging effect as the mice then humans would live to a median age of 100 with these treatments.

Zoledronate is a biophosphonate, a drug used to strengthen bones and reduce the risk of osteoporosis-related bone fractures. It is well-absorbed into the bones, so it only needs to be administered through infusion once a year.
A 2010 study had found that people who were given zoledronate after experiencing hip fractures showed slightly reduced all-cause mortality compared to a control group. Patients who took the drug were at significantly lower risk for heart arrhythmias and pneumonia.
