Looks interesting, but how could I ever afford to buy ~12 designer drugs which I figure likely cost at least $1-2/day if they are effective? Cost per year is $4K- $8K?
I'm guessing I'll wait 20 years until they are off patent?

(Assuming they actually work. I'm skeptical.)

Others mentioned include HGH, which has been around for decades. Only problem there is that it's a controlled substance so getting a prescription for anti-aging purposes may be difficult.
And I second the NMN being expensive. I use about 800mg a day and it is by far the most expensive thing I take.
So if you supplement with HGH for years or even months, your body stops making it and the ability to produce more may take a very long time to come back. It may never come back.
Also, there are many types of tumors that have HGH receptors, and HGH has an even bigger impact on the tumor than it does on the rest of your body. So you're basically supercharging your cancer.
I remember a professor in law school saying that during the big tobacco trials, someone mentioned that people dying younger from smoking meant lower healthcare costs overall, because the major predictor of healthcare costs is age. Basically everyone dies, and the older you are when you die, the more expensive it will be.
Obviously that's not a good reason to die early, but preventative care is mostly good for quality of life, rather than from a financial perspective.
something like "You gave $50 a month for 20 yrs to unlock the treatment, but now it costs $10000 and you cannot afford that? Too bad."
