If the senior citizen is exercising and consuming an adequate/balanced/nutritional diet daily, then adding supplements may improve one's metabolism.  Glutamine with niacinamide supplementation before exercise and especially at bedtime may increase the stimulation of one's own growth hormone.  One can substitute the amino acids ornithine or arginine with lysine; but this requires higher dosages.
Ames, Bruce  "University of Bari in Italy had reported that feeding acetyl-L-carnitine to old rats improves the function of their mitochondria...Ames...could see how the supplement might achieve its effects: Acetyl-L-carnitine, also known as Alcar, is a nutrient that helps transport fatty-acid fuel across lipid membranes into mitochondria...Ames decided to add an agent to the rats' diet to neutralize the oxidants. He tried lipoic acid, a mitochondrial antioxidant. The results were profound. Oxidants and oxidative damage to mitochondrial components dropped dramatically. Both the structure and function of the mitochondria improved. The rats' activity levels doubled...Both ingredients—Alcar and lipoic acid—are already marketed as dietary supplements. Consumers can even duplicate the dosages used in Juvenon's trials: 200 milligrams alpha-lipoic acid and 500 milligrams acetyl-L-carnitine, twice a day."
"Ames is convinced that simple B vitamin therapy could also combat some cases of migraines, mental retardation, and many other maladies...Genetic mutations result in deformed enzymes that don't work as well as normal ones. Enzymes rely on molecular partners called coenzymes to do their job. High amounts of B vitamins can boost levels of coenzymes, thereby improving the binding function of defective enzymes."
"Ames and his colleagues have already devised a DNA test that can quickly assess oxidative damage to a person's genes. But those tests aren't cheap, and multivitamins are."
"Ames" founded "a genomics and nutrition center."
"'If I'm going to get vitamins in the poor, I guess I'm going to have to do it myself,' he says."

Goji fruit or juice can trigger the pituitary gland to release the human (gh) growth hormone, somatotropin, helping to restore youth.  6/2006  www.breakthroughs.com
Goji berry has 4 bioactive polysaccharides (glyco-nutrients, a family of carbohydrates bound to proteins and produced by extreme stress.  Glyco-nutrition is the science of saccharides/sugars that maintain cellular body communication.)

 Kinetin - "Plant hormone KINETIN delays the onset of many cellular and biochemical characteristics associated with cellular ageing...Natural sources of kinetin related cytokinins are: very high levels in coconut water/milk; all germinating seeds and growing tips (of plants)...Kinetin is N6-furfunyadenine, a modified base that can get incorporated in tRNA. It is a synthetic cytokinin. Its nearest natural relative is zeatin, but in our experiments Kinetin is the most effective. All future research and development is now in the hands of Procter&Gamble who got all rights from the company SENETEK who had financed my research originally." http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2003/07/26/antiageing_discoveries.htm

Ovary rejuvenation has been for some years the focus of Dr. Jonathan Tilly, director of the Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology at Massachusetts General.  She has made fantastic discoveries.  Mammals lay down all the eggs they will ever have while they are still in the womb!

Rapamycin (sirolimus) 7/10/2009  http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/200907105 extends the life of lab mice/rats, but "people should NOT attempt to use the compound in an attempt to extend their own lifespan, as it suppresses the immune system."
