I believe Ambrosia was the (real) startup that was the inspiration for that story arc.

Looks like they're still around but have pivoted to boring wearables and of course AI.

A supposed win for the FDA, but perhaps a loss to humanity since there does seem to be evidence that the idea actually worked.

For once, a pivot to AI is a bit of a relief...
