Subject: 236'th update on fly longevity experiments

     This is the 236'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
 temperature was 23.7 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
 the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 97 days.
     Hawthorn products had been tested before in runs #7, #9, #22, #84,
 #100, with some success. Here I try a hawthorn product with enhanced
 absorption characteristics. I also look at serrapeptase, which is an item
 of interest to humans with hardening of the arteries. My previous tests
 of a similar product called nattokinase in runs #186, and #188 were
 negative. Here I try enhancing the absorption of serrapeptase by
 combining it with phosphatidylcholine in a blender. Chrysin and histidine
 round out this experiment.
     Although there was a hint of a benefit with low dose hawthorn
 phytosome, and low dose chrysin, the longest living fly was still a
 control one.
