Cryosleep antifreeze, what possible materials could be used?
In warlords the Hegemony already has practical usage for cryosleep (no clue how it would be enduced just yet) in the medical field and in long voyages, ex: freighter travelling from Uranus to Ceres. As well as planned voyages to exo-planets.
One issue I've seen brought up in multiple cryosleep questions is the body getting too cold and the cells being damaged. I saw on a recent cryofreeze question someone bring up using an antifreeze of some sorts.
That got me thining, but I'm by no means a chemist (barely passed chemistry in high school, lmao). What kind of chemical, liquid, or material would be the best fit for the job?
Notes:
It can't be something magical, but it could be something possible to create, but isn't around just yet
Ignore other effects of cryosleep. I'm focusing on this piece by piece.
