"We put together a team of combined academia, the University of Pittsburgh, Baylor College of Medicine, and the Center for Space, as well as the industry. Amerisciences and NASA all working together to develop a formula to help crew members to resist radiation and oxidative stress while they're in space," says Dr. Jones.

The preventative measure and possible treatment is made from two types of micro-nutrients.

To test it out, scientists gave mice a lethal dose of radiation, then followed that with the supplement. "Roughly 20 percent of the mice went on to live about 250 days. You had 60-80 percent of the mice survive after 250 days," explains Montesinos. "They gave Hiroshima-type dosing to these animals and the AmeriSciences product, AS10, actually protected the animals from radiation-induced death. It's really an amazing finding," exclaims Dr. Sabbagh. He goes on to say, "This is the first time showing that you can actually extend the lives of these animals 6-fold and it's just unbelievable! Now the studies will continue on in humans."
