Jul 12, 2021 The war against aging is being fought as we speak in the United States military, which is ready to test a new “anti-aging” pill. The reported benefits of this “anti-aging” pill are said to be improved “endurance, recovery time after injury, and response time.” Navy Commander Tim Hawkins, more specifically, calls this experimental pill a “human performance small molecule.” In his eyes, the goal here is “enhancing mission readiness by improving performance characteristics that typically decline with age.” This pill would be more along the lines of a multivitamin or a protein powder, rather than a “drug.” So, it wouldn’t, then, be put under the same scrutiny that a “drug” would be placed under while seeking FDA approval.
