What’s orange, may be able to extend your life, and is probably already in the back of your medicine cabinet? Ibuprofen. A recent study found that regular small doses of the pill extended the lives of animal subjects by up to 15 percent. Not only did the animals live longer, but they also lived healthier, and scientists believe the same effect could be seen in humans.

In the study, scientists gave a number of species doses of ibuprofen that would be comparable to the recommended human dose. They first began their tests on baker’s yeast, but then moved on to worms and flies. Results showed that over time this extended the test subjects’ lives by 15 percent, which when translated into human life is about an extra dozen years of life.

"We are not sure why this works, but it's worth exploring further," explained Dr. Michael Polymenis, one of the collaborating researchers who had taken part on the study, in a press release.

Ibuprofen interferes with the ability of yeast cells to pick a universal amino acid called tryptophan. This molecule is essential for human life, and ibuprofen’s effect on it results in longer healthier lives.
