## Summary

Piceatannol is a natural compound related to resveratrol that our bodies absorb more easily. In mice aged by radiation, an oral dose improved coordination and memory while lowering inflammation. It also cleared out worn-out cells in the heart and kidneys, with no signs of harm in healthy animals.

## Practical Takeaway

This early animal study hints piceatannol may target aging cells, but human trials are needed.
