Russell Kane is launching a biohacking business and releasing his first music single, a tongue-in-cheek raunchy rap-ballad called Take Your Panties Off (The Floor).

The famously youthful looking 47-year-old stand-up and his wife Lindsey plan to sell their own, as-yet-unnamed, brand of supplements from next month.

Alongside regular exercise and eschewing processed food, Kane attributes his vigour to taking 30 health supplements a day.

Describing his wife Lindsey as "the business person of the couple", he told Dan Nightingale and Adam Rowe on their Have A Word podcast that "my wife's insight was that most people can't be fucked and don't have the budget" to follow such a regime.

Instead, the couple reasoned "what if we boiled down the big seven, the main seven biohacking, age reversing ... youth-giving supplements into an easy one-a-day smash thing? Which, unbelievably, no-one has thought to do.

"It'll be just like a supplement but you take three a day with some sort of fatty food source like yogurt or nuts because some of the things need fat to pass the blood-brain barrier."

Elaborating, Kane added: "Basically, I don't have a normal comedy act, it's very energetic, it's like Lee Evans on steroids, which is fine if you're 28.

"I was getting older and older and more and more knackered and just experimenting more ... we've combined it all together and it's built naturally from the very first thing I did about 15 years ago - what if I stopped eating sugar? - up to the hardcore shit we are now, it's been like a learning journey."

Suggesting that he has 100 trialists currently acting as guinea pigs for the supplements - which were originally to be called Zing, but no longer because of a copyright issue - he said: "Basically, you're as old as your cells are, not your birth certificate ... if you really push it, you can get away with looking 10, 15 years younger than your biological age."

And he suggested that he was already attracting investors. "I've had some interesting people WhatsApping me with deep pockets," he explained.

Meanwhile, the comic recently improvised a song called Take Your Panties Off (The Floor) and released it online last month, attracting a relatively modest 2,900 views on YouTube.

However, it came to the attention of Nick Bridges of electro house music duo Bodyrox, who proposed they re-record it in a studio and release it as a charity single, which Kane hopes to do on Valentine's Day for CALM, the Campaign Against Living Miserably.

"It's a jokey take on relationships" he told Nightingale and Rowe. "You think they're going to be one thing and then they're another.

"It's crazy. I rap on it twice, I sing on it. I'm trying to get Judi Love for the music video to be my wife, like grinding around me, picking her bra off and stuff."
