     I seem to remember in Ringworld Engineers that the warrior Teela was going
around with (he had taken a massive does of youth drug and was around the right
age when he took it) died when they found the chamber with hte tree of life root
in it because he was too old. Apparently, you only get one shot and taking the
youth drugs (what he took wasn't booster spice but a derivative of tree of life
root) doesn't allow you survive the change.
