Portulaca oleracea extract is also interesting.

Here's a review of its geroprotective constituents, but unfortunately it is paywalled:

It is an AChE inhibitor, among other things.

Ma voi la conoscete la #portulaca ? Ogni volta che vengo qui a Porziano la meditazione quotidiana consiste nella raccolta e la cura di questa pianta spontanea. Poi la si mangia pure, dicono sia un Superfood, ma dato che non so cosa significhi mi limito a dirvi che fa molto bene ed è pure buona!

Portulaca grandiflora, rose moss, is in the same family as purslane. Unlike purslane, it is not edible. The genus name, Portulaca, means "little door". It refers to how the fruits in this genus opens up to disperse the tiny seeds.

The species epithet, grandiflora, is somewhat easy to deduce. It means that has large flowers!
