SENS Research Foundation works to develop, promote, and ensure
widespread access to therapies that cure and prevent the diseases and
disabilities of aging by comprehensively repairing the damage that
builds up in our bodies over time. We are redefining the way the world
researches and treats age-related ill health, while inspiring the next
generation of biomedical scientists.

The dietary supplements industry is already huge - now over 100 billion USD p.a.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_supplement>
People already buy many supplements of dubious value in order to live
longer and healthier lives. In theory companies are not allowed to
make medical claims that they can treat diseases, but the FDA has to
play whack-a-mole, continually fining and closing down offending
companies. There are also quality control problems and dangerous
ingredients.

Currently I doubt that there are any 'secret' supplements that
significantly extend life better than exercise and a healthy diet that
avoids obesity.
(If you can find a supplement by an internet search then it's not 'secret').

But if something is found that works, then you can be sure that Big
Pharma will be selling it to everyone and raking in huge profits.
That is exactly the type of treatment they dream of. Something that
everyone has to buy and take every day - for ever!
