Vitamin 'Cocktail' May Halt Aging: This Week on AOL Health

The key to a longer, healthier life may one day be as simple as popping a series of vitamins.

According to new research, humans may be able to tack on 15 years to their normal lifespans by adding a supplemental "cocktail" made of 31 ingredients, including beta carotene, garlic, ginseng, green tea extract, cod liver oil and grape extract, to their diet.

Mice that were fed the supplement lived 11 percent longer than their maximum life expectancy, which translates to about 120 human years.

However, before you run out and start mixing your own varietal, researchers warn that more conclusive testing is needed. Plus, creating your own elixir of life using a vitamin and nutritional supplements could damage the liver or immune system.
