Yes, I know that LE sells it, and the claim is that it reduces damage to our blood vessels by cholesterol. Unfortunately heart and vascular disease do not equate to aging. Many more accepted drugs may have the same effect, but show no serious effect on aging. As for our bone marrow causing our aging, our bodies (and even those of C. elegans) are systems in which every part somehow affects every other. Such a thesis looks weak to me. Best wishes and long long life for all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=25793
