Adventurers and scientists have been in search of the elusive fountain of youth for centuries. Now, a new start-up company thinks it has a unique answer to reversing, or at least slowing, the aging process.
Founded by entrepreneur Jesse Karmazin, California-based Ambrosia LLC buys the blood of young adults and offers it to their customers. The cutting-edge company acquires the blood of people 25-years-old and younger then transfuses it to anyone over age 35 willing to pay $8,000 for the service.
Based on something known as parabiosis, the company believes the exchange of blood will help stop, slow, or even reverse the aging process. Parabiosis is a procedure that surgically combines two organisms who then start sharing certain body functions. In 2014, researchers did experiments to study the effects and any potential benefits to the circulatory and cardiovascular systems by attaching older mice to younger ones.
