This will be amazing if true. They have been saying for a long time that Covid aged the brain 10 yrs and many are left with long covid.

[u/BetterAd7552]

What the heck did I just read? This sounds too good to be true.

[u/ryanjosephrossnerphd]

Cool article and explanation by CEO. Sounds plausible, exciting if true. Guess it’s time to search pubmed for LL-37 and annexin 5…

[u/fastlanedev]

Amazing and on my radar now thank you

[u/ilycec]

I concur that it sounds too good to be true but very, very exciting if accurate.

[u/Smewroo]

Wouldn’t this premise mean that people born with severely compromised immune systems and raised in “a bubble” would age extremely slowly? Was that observed?

[u/squarecir → u/Smewroo]

Nope. It's nonsense

[u/Aquirox]

I had already read before 2020 that repeated infections have a “diabetic” effect on the immune system.

[u/Heavy-Bill-3996]

Very interesting! When will these peptides be available? I'm eager to.

[u/squarecir]

It's nonsense. You can keep someone in a bubble, completely untouched by infectious disease, and they'll age just like everyone else.
