The composition of the supplement they called AASUP
(for anti-aging supplement) is published in the paper
"A Dietary Supplement Abolishes Age-Related Cognitive
Decline in Transgenic Mice Expressing Elevated Free
Radical Processes" by J.A. Lemon, D.R. Boreham, and
C.D. Rollo in: Experimental Biology and Medicine 228:
800-810 (2003).

Since it includes 31 components it was hardly possible
to list them all in an abstract. Here is Table 1 from the
paper:
