Starting next year, the US Armed Forces Special Operations Command (SOCOM) will start testing on the US military an experimental pill to avoid the effects of aging on soldiers.

The experiment, reports Breaking Defense, is part of a push to increase the army's human capabilities and keep fighters healthy, operational and at peak performance for longer. If successful in clinical trials, then, the anti-aging pill could also make its way as a new treatment longevity for the masses.

Empower, not transform

"These efforts are not about creating physical traits that don't already exist naturally," says SOCOM spokesperson and Navy commander Tim Hawkins. "It's about improving our army's mission readiness by improving performance characteristics that typically tend to decline with advancing age".

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide: for NAD friends. It is the molecule behind the anti-aging pill that will be tested by the US military.

What is this?

The anti-aging pill that will be tested by the army is essentially a dietary supplement which increases the levels of the NAD + molecule. It is a compound commonly found in the unregulated nootropic industry, and has been linked to aging and the myriad ways the human body deteriorates over time.

By flooding soldiers' bodies with extra doses of NAD +, SOCOM hopes to prevent age-related injuries, improve physical and mental fitness, and prevent soldiers from degrading over the course of their career.

From the army to society

The experimental pill “has the potential, if successful, to truly delay aging. To truly prevent the onset of injury. And this is simply and surprisingly revolutionary, ”says SOCOM's science and technology director Lisa Sanders.

All that remains is to wait for the results of the experimentation, before (possibly) taking a bag of these things and starting to munch them like mints.
