In this world of stress, depression, and increased work demands, premature aging has become a big problem.

Some advanced anti-aging drugs are also made for treatment of age-related mental and physical deterioration. Some doctors have also developed anti-aging supplements like human growth hormones to reverse aging, which work the same like bodybuilding supplements and are aimed to mask the aging process.
