Participants in Bryan Johnson's Anti-Aging Initiative Report Feeling Unwell, According to a Recent Publication
In a recent report by The New York Times, Bryan Johnson, an influential figure in the anti-aging tech industry, and his dietary supplement company, Blueprint, have come under scrutiny.
According to the report, Johnson has been requiring employees, sexual partners, vendors, contract workers, and even employees of his start-ups to sign confidentiality agreements. This practice, which Johnson has been using for nearly a decade, is aimed at controlling his image and the companies he has built.
The focus of the report, however, is on the Longevity Mix, a dietary supplement offered by Blueprint. Internal documents, court records, and testimonies from employees suggest that the Longevity Mix has been causing side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and heartburn in some users.
Three former employees have recently filed National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) complaints against Johnson, alleging that his confidentiality agreements are overbroad and potentially illegal. The NLRB, as well as Blueprint, have yet to respond to these complaints.
Gizmodo reached out to Blueprint for comment, but the company's typical response time is 1-2 business days. The Times also obtained an internal study conducted by Blueprint, which looked at the impact of its dietary mixes on users. The study revealed that in some cases, the impact of the dietary mixes was not positive, with some users reporting feelings of nausea.
Johnson responded to the report by claiming that the New York Times "contorted and twisted facts to fit a narrative." He reportedly stated that the results of the study were normal for any food, beverage, or supplement. However, approximately 60% of the 1,700 participants in the Blueprint study experienced at least one side effect.
Moreover, the report states that participants in the study saw their testosterone levels drop and became prediabetic after following Johnson's diet plan. It is important to note that these claims are yet to be independently verified.
The internal investigations of the effects of the Longevity Mix conducted by Blueprint, which led to side effects such as vomiting and heart attacks, were not attributed to a specific person in the available information.
As the investigation continues, it is crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of consumers who choose to use dietary supplements like the Longevity Mix. It is also essential to uphold the rights of employees to discuss workplace conditions freely, as per federal laws.
