You can assume that for every day you take the pill you don't age that day - if you skip it for a day you age by a day.

Sign me up. Even if there's side effects like nausea or whatever. I'll do whatever it takes to stop my bones hurting more every year.

But what if it doesn't make you younger? So you'll still stay your current age, with all the chronic stuff you already have.

I'm 34. Yes, my bones hurt, but it's not terrible and I'd rather stay 34 forever (or at least drastically slow my aging, like if there were serious side effects I could take one every two days and effectively double my longevity).

I'll be my age forever, perfectly ok with that. Make taking the bum pill part of a daily exercise routine.
