Coenzyme Q 10 is an antioxidant. Antioxidants are required and necessary to proper bodily function. It helps to produce energy in each cell. As we age, this antioxidant decreases in production. As its production begins to decrease, free radical production increases, resulting in premature aging.

Vitamin A, in its acidic form, 13-cis retinoic acid (isotretinoin), is the most effective drug for acne treatment. It reduces bacteria in the ducts and skin, and reduces inflammation. Tretinion, a topical cream has been shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Both of these products require a doctor’s prescription. Retinova is a prescription cream that had very positive results and therefore, retinol was created, a less intense version of it and obviously its results are not as effective, however it has proved in studies to reduce wrinkles. One study showed moisturizers containing 0.4% of retinol greatly reduced fine wrinkles, but once stopped, the benefits cease as well.
In rare cases, vitamin A deficiency exists in the developed countries. It is a concern in underdeveloped countries, however. Vitamin A deficiency is due to an inadequate consumption of green and yellow veggies and fruit, and it affects vision among others. However, toxicity is possible with too much Vitamin A.

Although it is quite an early and too soon for humans, scientists claim that the results are quite impressive.  Of course dosage for humans, has not been properly calculated as of yet.  One problem that arises with rapamycin is that it is known to affect the immune system, making individuals be more susceptible to contracting infections.  They are working on altering it in order to lessen those affects.  They believe they will be able to change it enough to target other molecules so that the immune system is not affected.

At this moment, these antiaging drugs will not be tested on humans.  Much more research has to go into rapamycin with more lab mice, worms, flies and the like.

Vitamins are divided into two main categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble.

Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body, more often than not, in the liver. They are not easily lost in most methods of preparation and are mesured in international units. The following are fat-soluble vitamins:

A
D
E
K

Water-soluble vitamins are lost in food preparation, therefore, it is advised to not overcook foods in order to avoid this loss. Within the body, these vitamins are not stored, hence, it is important to eat foods containing these vitamins daily and are measured in either milligrams or micrograms. The following are water-soluble vitamins:

B group or B complex
C
