Bryan Johnson, founder of Braintree (which once owned Venmo) spends nearly $2 Million annually on longevity treatments including transfusing his blood with that of his son and dad. This ‘Project Blueprint’ also involves him exchanging their genes.
Goal of his efforts: Reverse Aging with 30 Health Experts and Scientists Monitoring His Progression.
Rejuvenate Bio
George Church and his colleagues have come up with a novel approach for prolonging human lifespan: rejuvenating biological cells through adding new genetic instructions. This technique has already been tested successfully on mice by Rejuvenate Bio, the startup co-founded by Church.
Rejuvenate Bio is using gene therapy, proprietary targets and animal health markets to bring anti-aging therapies to market with maximum capital efficiency. Rejuvenate has already demonstrated their ability to reverse several age-related diseases in mice while teaming up with one of the world’s premier animal healthcare companies to develop its first therapeutic for dogs aimed at treating mitral valve disease (MVD).
Rejuvenate Bio’s gene therapy works by targeting the same cell types targeted by existing medications, but in an less invasive and surgical-free fashion. Instead of injecting directly into the bloodstream, Rejuvenate Bio uses an oral pill containing Adeno-Associated Virus which delivers its gene therapy into specific cells through digestion.
This approach may lead to more effective and safer therapies than traditional gene therapy approaches, which involve direct injections into the bloodstream. Aside from increasing efficacy, taking a pill could also enable more flexible dosages and easier administration; not only could MVD benefit from this therapy approach; other age-related conditions could also use it.
Rejuvenate Bio, established in 2018, has already raised over $27 million through private and venture debt funding as well as non-dilutive funding sources. They plan to begin human clinical trials by 2023 targeting multiple chronic conditions including Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other ailments.
Rejuvenate Bio has inked an agreement with Phibro Animal Health to develop gene therapy treatments for Dilated Cardiomyopathy ACM (DCP ACM), an inherited disorder causing progressive heart failure and sudden death among young adulthood dogs. Rejuvenate’s gene therapy has proven its efficacy at lowering risk factors associated with DCP ACM patients’ heart failure or sudden deaths and increasing lifespan by more than 10 years for affected animals.
Rejuvenate Life
Bryan Johnson is a biotech entrepreneur who spends millions each year on extreme longevity treatments. In pursuit of eternal life, his pursuit has taken him down paths that many might fear to explore: his bedroom has an entire arsenal of experimental equipment including laser face shields and devices measuring erections; in one experiment he even used gene therapy to reprogram mice in order to make them live longer!
The treatment, using modified viruses to deliver genes into cells, was successful: on average, treated mice lived an additional 18 weeks while their control counterparts died within nine weeks – equivalent to doubling the lifespan of a 77-year-old human, which is the approximate maximum lifespan.
Rejuvenation is a method used to delay and reverse the signs of ageing in our bodies, returning us to a younger physique at certain points in life and making us feel more energetic and focused.
Rejuvenate Nutrition
Legend has it that there are certain plants and foods which claim to possess rejuvenative powers; such as carrot juice or cayenne pepper. While all these foods contain benefits for our health, one nutrient stands out above them all: RNA. Nucleic acids – including both ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), form the building blocks of life which offer unparalleled rejuvenative potential to the human body.
RNA stands out as the only nutrient capable of activating your body’s natural healing and regeneration processes, providing your cells with information necessary for repair of damaged DNA/RNA and growth of healthy new cells – this process is known as reverse aging, and rejuvenate nutrition’s primary goal. Rejuvenate nutrition’s process consists of six key elements: detoxification, healthy digestion restoration, improved immunity system function enhancements, basic nutrition establishment, energy boosting boost and rejuvenating the body revitalization.
At the core of revitalized nutrition lies detoxification. Through detoxification, liver and kidneys eliminate harmful toxins from bloodstream to purify and rejuvenate body systems; furthermore, colon and intestine cleaning eliminate parasites and candida growth in order to boost overall wellness.
Next, improve the digestive system by restoring a healthy balance of bacteria. This can be accomplished through eating high quality whole foods and supplementing with probiotics; adding probiotics into diet; and taking enzymes. These nutrients help heal digestive tract issues such as irregularity of bowel movements or metabolism issues, and increasing metabolism overall. Finally, strengthen immunity through taking high quality proteins, antioxidants and antifungals such as supplements for immunity or metabolism issues.
Health Products Distributors Inc. (HPDI) created the Rejuvenate! high-RNA superfood line to assist these goals. Leveraging HPDI’s substantial scientific and technical expertise and over two decades of supplement design experience, Rejuvenate! is comprised of ingredients designed specifically to aid cellular detoxification while providing essential nutrition. This formula provides maximum detoxification benefits while meeting essential body nutritional needs.
Rejuvenate! is a high-RNA greens formula designed to deliver maximum levels of dietary nucleic acids, with ingredients including d-ribose, chlorella, spirulina, nutritional yeast, chia seeds, rice bran solubles dulse kelp yeast RNA folic acid and methylcobalamin. In addition, high phosphatide sunflower lecithin prebiotics enzymes to increase nutrient uptake as well as organic aloe vera (18%acemannan). Rejuvenate! PLUS reduces detoxifying herbs for fresh sweet green flavor; while providing balanced protein fiber and essential fats levels as well.
