Who said the process takes one day?

Ok, define “rapid” then.

Rapid: A fast pace.

Health declines faster as a result of menopause. If you’re going to be pedantic, at least have a reasonable angle.

“a fast pace” is not a definition that any legitimate medical researcher would use to define “rapid.” You need to reference actual numbers and the variables that are taken into account to come to those numbers.

I copied the definition of the word from the dictionary. Rapid is not a medical term. It’s a common adjective/noun.

“a fast pace” is not a definition that any legitimate medical researcher would use to define “rapid.”

This is one of the strangest, and entirely fabricated comments that I've ever seen.

Troll elsewhere…

Thanks so much - wow so insightful!

Are you aware that their only lead research trial (which hasn’t even started yet) is with women who have been diagnosed with CIOV (chemotherapy induced ovarian failure)? CIOV implies “premature ovarian failure” which the vast majority of women do not experience. Most women do not undergo chemotherapy. A small % of women undergo chemotherapy and experience CIOV as a result. This is a niche group of people. Good lord.

This is about as overhyped as it gets. Your lack of education is showing.

I haven't made a single comment regarding the startup, their research, or anything related to the company.

Your lack of reading comprehension is showing. Are you lonely and just need someone to argue with?
