Bryan Johnson, the millionaire tech entrepreneur who has embarked on public efforts to reverse aging, is waxing poetic about his “super clean plasma.” On X, he recently posted that after undergoing a total plasma exchange TPE, a lab technician was so amazed that the tech refused to throw away Johnson’s plasma.
Johnson says he’s reduced his epigenetic age with the help of an almost impossibly aggressive regimen called Project Blueprint. It includes a punishing diet and exercise program, more than $2 million a year invested in a medical team, and a cocktail of experimental and conventional treatments, including the TPE procedure he undertook earlier this year.
TPE, one of the common therapies used in regenerative medicine and anti-aging medicine, involves replacing patients’ plasma with donor plasma or a substitute fluid. In Johnson’s case, the plasma was replaced with albumin.
As Johnson explained in his post, “TPE removes all of my body’s plasma and replaces it with albumin. The therapy is supposed to eliminate toxins from my body, though evidence is still coming.
He then explained, “I finished my first total plasma exchange today, TPE, that took all the plasma out of my body and replaced it with albumin. Unlike last year, where I only pulled a liter of plasma out and replaced it with a liter from my ‘blood boy.”.
Johnson recalled that one of the staff members at the clinic phoned his plasma, which was the “cleanest” they had ever witnessed in their nine years of performing TPE. “The operator said my plasma is the cleanest he’s ever seen. He just couldn’t get over it, and when we were done, he couldn’t bear to discard it, thinking of all the good it could do in the world,” observed Johnson.
He has also referred to his plasma as “liquid gold,” and he said he was able to reduce his epigenetic age by 5.1 years. He said his father’s aging rate decreased by 25 years after taking one liter of his plasma.
Johnson posted pictures of himself holding a bag filled with the straw-colored liquid to document it. He made headlines last year for inviting his 17-year-old son to participate in what he called the “world’s first multigenerational plasma exchange.” He said his own plasma was replaced with albumin, not his son’s, this time.
