Don't just go start putting random formulations (a lot of which are snake oils) in your oil before actually fixing the fault.
Running your oil low did not wear your cam chain out, no bloody way. The chains are lubed from general splash from the valve gear IIRC. If this oil flow had been reduced, at all, it meant your oil pump was sucking air. This would have destroyed the big ends way before the cam chains.
IMO the cam chain fault is a rare manufacturing defect.

Main reason being as a dry film, it isn't sticky.
