confuser@lemmy.zip 1 week agoOk I’ll bite.
These are all things that can be measured to see if they are helpful or not so saying this is worthless is not true and ignores the people they did help.
I agree that there is not a whole ot of consensus on aging but I’m talking about health in general, these things just happen to also be good for aging (which you can wlverify if you look into the research available yourself, no iwont link it for you, I know that is unkind of me to do)
Believing there is a singular promising thing that is as of yet unproven is not better than all of these other things that are so that is a silly point to be making from your perspective.
Longevity is a serious research field and there are multiple government petitions at least just in the us that are making valid points to relabel aging as a disease the same way that obesity was relabeled as a disease which then introduced a flywheel of lots of research to add onto what was already present.
The pills are in fact not crappy so long as you can find 3rd party testing available to prove to everyone that they have what they claim to have (this is what has gotten blueprint onto thin ice and why I recommend novos instead at the moment)
I suggest you enjoy your placebo effects and take a physiology course. (You can verify that this is the placebo effect by studying and doing research, but I won’t link how to do that for you, I know that’s unkind of me to do)
Go peddle your snake oil elsewhere.
OP, go see a medical doctor who knows more about human physiology than some snake oil sells person on the internet.
I am actively recommending the non questionable company called novos, nice try though.

I see no bite, only bark ;-)
If it is helpful, provide the study showing it! It’s too easy to say “look it up yourself” IMO.
Health “in general” is, health. What do you think health means?
The phrase that starts with:
is just incompréhensible for me, I’m not a native speaker.
Yes longevity has become a serious research field, almost solely by the massive effort of Dr Aubrey de Grey. Read his 2007 book Ending Aging for a dumbed down explanation of what is needed to cure aging (as in a science interesed person can get it).
For third-party examination of supplements, that only shows what is in the pills, not that they are actually effective.
So again, stay away from any supplements until there has been some real studies done. There is always a supplement, once it was cinnamon, once it was radium water, always it was snake oil.
You want to live longer in good health?
What’s proven effective: don’t smoke, don’t drink(or very little), don’t be sedentary, don’t be overweight.
That’s about it as far as the scientific consensus has it.
