Welcome to Anti-aging medication. Also known as anti-aging medicine or life extension medicine, this branch of science is related to attempts to slow down or reverse the processes of aging to extend ones lifespan. Life extension researchers believe that future breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation with stem cells, molecular repair, and organ replacement will eventually enable humans to have indefinite lifespans through complete rejuvenation to a youthful condition.
The sale of putative anti-aging products such as nutrition, physical fitness, skin care, hormone replacements, vitamins, supplements and herbs has become a $50 billion dollar business in the United States. Medical experts on the other side of the fence, however, state that the use of such products has not been shown to affect the aging process.
