Lozenges can cause choking especially when talking, coughing etc. I use lollipos on a stick but careful, nowadays quality control is poor and product separates from the stick.

I don't understand this company. It's publicly traded. He doesn't talk at all about the specifics of what they are working on in his public talks.
To live a very long time will require at least two things: ability to find and clear old, damaged, mutated cells. And an ability to replace those cells with newly differentiated and epigenome restored versions. He is apparently working on part two, but I remain unconvinced.

AgeX started working on the first problem (removal of senescent cells / stem cell replacement therapies) before they even started working on the second, so I would suggest that your confusion and scepticism is at least partially rooted in a lack of understanding of AgeX's approach.... ...there's little point in PureStem, Univercyte and ITR if you cant establish and target the cells that require replacing or modifying in the first place....which is why these technologies have (or will have) inbuilt site markers that determine cell type and location.
