We write a lot about anti-aging and ways to increase the human lifespan.
But what about our canine friends? If antiaging medicine is finding interventions that can help us live longer, wouldn’t we want our furry companions there along with us?
That is exactly what a new research project known as the “Squash Project” is trying to do – test the efficacy of a particular antiaging supplement for dogs, known as RenuVite.
The Squash Project is a series of short-form episodic videos that focuses on Squash, a 15-year-old half-corgi half-beagle who is near the end of his life’s journey.
A fixture in the family and a joy for the kids to play with, Squash was suffering from the most common complaints of canine aging, such as muscle weakness and poor muscle tone. The Squash Project, which is currently two episodes in, documents the effects of being put on a daily regimen of RenuVite™, the first and only anti-aging supplement for dogs that contains Univestin™ and DHEA.
DHEA has been used in humans for its antiaging properties for decades and is a staple of anti-aging medicine.
In a press release about the projects, the creator of RenuVite™, Stephen Cherniske, biochemist, and former university instructor in Clinical Nutrition, said, “Every day, millions of dogs in American households grow older and find themselves struggling to do the things they were once able to effortlessly do. Since they don’t fully understand how the passage of time slows down and weakens them, the little fur babies are always reliant on their owners to make the best decisions for them. Squash is no different. Beagles and corgis have a life expectancy of around 15 years. So, for Squash, getting started on RenuVite was a matter of life and death. Since he started taking the supplement, Squash has been, for lack of a better word, transformed into his former energetic self. It is a fascinating journey that we felt was important to be documented, and thus the Squash Project was born.”
Along with the Univestin™ and DHEA, RenuVite™ also contains Aronia berry extract and hydrolyzed collagen. In addition, to the fun-to-watch anecdotal evidence provided by Squash’s adventures in the videos, the formulation for the antiaging supplement for dogs is backed up by extensive published and peer-reviewed clinical trials on the effectiveness of every ingredient.
