WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. \u2014 It was one for the anti-ages.
\nHundreds of biohackers \u2014 some sporting clothing to protect against electromagnetic radiation and others clutching purses packed with peptides \u2014 lived it up at last week\u2019s Biohackers World expo by testing cutting-edge technology and sampling supplements designed to turn back the clock.
\nFather Time wasn\u2019t invited \u2014 but there were over 40 exhibitors hawking everything from pulsating workout gear to a headset seemingly straight from the set of \u201cStar Trek: The Next Generation.\u201d
\nI perused the banal to the bizarre and selected five fascinating products that appeared to live up to the hype.

\nYou could get a workout walking the expo hall a few times \u2014 or spend just a few minutes in the SQAI electromuscular stimulation suit.
\nThe two-piece ensemble, which brings to mind military gear, uses electrical impulses to activate and build muscles.
\nSQAI boasts that it delivers the results of a two-hour gym session in just 20 minutes because the suit engages up to 90% of muscle fibers at once.
\nIt took some time to adjust to the tingling sensation, but I could feel the effects hours later.
\nYou could wear it while sitting on the couch and watching TV, though you get better benefits with the suggested workouts.
\nThe suit retails for $2,450, which includes accessories, the app and on-demand video classes. The founder and CEO of SQAI told The Post that customers won\u2019t pay more than $2,300 because of various promotions. There is no subscription fee.<\/p>\nBrainTap Headset<\/h2>\n

\nA binaural beat is an auditory illusion that comes from pumping slightly different frequencies to each ear, while an isochronic tone results from a single tone being pulsed on and off at a specific frequency. Lights on the visor synchronize with the two types of sound.
\nIt\u2019s hard to find peace with the masses milling about, but I managed to unwind while lying on a lounge chair and listening to the guided BrainTap visualization.
\nThe headset sells for $797. Access to over 2,000 \u201cbrain fitness\u201d sessions costs $29.99 a month or $260 a year.<\/p>\nVibraTec Platform<\/h2>\n
\nI\u2019m a longtime believer in the power of vibration plates. I use a plate to increase blood flow to reduce muscle soreness after running.
\nThe VibraTec Platform ($3,800) is snazzier than the clunker I have at home. It\u2019s sleek in all-black, lights up on the sides and takes up less space.
\nVibration plates have become more popular thanks to TikTok \u2014 they got a shoutout in a recent \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d sketch \u2014 as influencers tout their ability to burn calories, build muscles, improve balance and coordination, enhance bone density, ease pain and reduce stress.<\/p>\nOpticare AI<\/h2>\n
\nOpticare AI does it by snapping pictures of your eyes, which provide a window into your circulatory and nervous system health.
\nThe machine resembles a massive View-Master \u2014 you place your forehead against it and focus on a small green dot as the camera captures each eye. The results come in the blink of an eye.
\nOpticare AI takes pictures of your eyes for a sense of how your circulatory and nervous system health is aging.
\nI took the test twice, mostly because I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes. According to the results of both tests, I am aging four years faster than my peers \u2014 though I have scored well on other aging tests.
\nOpticare AI compares retinal images to over 30 million others in its dataset to spit out an age estimation.
\nThe good news is that I\u2019m at low risk for heart problems and medium-low risk for macular vision impairment.
\nThe bad news is that it may be hard to retest down the line. The machine is not for use at home, as it is intended for doctor\u2019s offices and wellness clinics.<\/p>\nJinfiniti Intracellular NAD Test<\/h2>\n
\nNAD (short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) was one of the key buzzwords of the two-day conference.
\nThe coenzyme, found in every cell of the body, plays a vital role in metabolism, energy production, DNA repair and gene expression, among other essential cellular processes. Unfortunately, NAD levels decline with age.
\nVendors were giving away or selling NAD capsules \u2014 and NAD IVs were available for VIPs.
\nJinfiniti Precision Medicine offers an at-home finger prick test ($198) to determine if you\u2019re deficient.
\nThe results come quickly. Of course, I am low \u2014 but, luckily, there\u2019s a supplement for that.<\/p>\nConclusion<\/h2>\n
