A startup called Generation Lab is promoting a two-drug anti-aging treatment, claiming it rejuvenates the body. The company's CEO, Alina Su, offered a journalist access to the treatment, citing benefits like improved vision and energy. However, the drugs are not disclosed, and the evidence is anecdotal.

The approach stems from parabiosis research by Irina Conboy, but experts and the FDA have flagged the involved clinics for unproven and fraudulent treatments. The hype outpaces solid science.
