The concept of a pill that replaces exercise may sound like something out of a sci-fi novel, but according to a recent SciTechDaily article, it’s a real thing.

Riccardo Natoli, Head of Clear Vision Research at ANU, believes the molecules could be captured, re-coded, and packaged in pill form to be taken like a vitamin.
