Berberine
Berberine is a bioactive compound extracted from several plants. It's one of the most effective natural supplements for blood sugar control and has been called 'nature's Ozempic' for its metabolic benefits.
500mg 2-3 times daily with meals (total 1000-1500mg/day)
CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10)
CoQ10 is a naturally occurring antioxidant that your body produces. It's essential for energy production in cells and declines with age. Supplementation supports heart health, energy, and may slow aging.
100-200mg daily for general health; 200-400mg for specific conditions
Glutathione
Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant, produced in every cell. It's crucial for detoxification, immune function, and skin health. Often called the 'mother of all antioxidants.'
250-1000mg daily; liposomal forms are better absorbed
Biotin (Vitamin B7)
Biotin is a B vitamin essential for hair, skin, and nail health. It's one of the most popular supplements for hair growth, though deficiency is rare in people eating a balanced diet.
2,500-5,000mcg daily for hair/nails; 30mcg is the adequate intake
Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid pigment that gives salmon and shrimp their pink color. It's one of the most powerful antioxidants known, particularly beneficial for skin, eyes, and exercise recovery.
4-12mg daily
Collagen Supplements
Collagen peptides are hydrolyzed collagen protein that may support skin elasticity, joint health, and gut integrity. The most popular anti-aging supplement with growing research support.
2.5-15g daily; most studies use 5-10g
Quercetin
Quercetin is a flavonoid antioxidant found in many fruits and vegetables. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and potential senolytic (anti-aging) properties.
500-1000mg daily; often combined with vitamin C or bromelain for absorption
Rapamycin
Rapamycin is an FDA-approved immunosuppressant being researched for longevity. It inhibits mTOR, a pathway linked to aging. Currently used off-label by some longevity enthusiasts under medical supervision.
Varies widely; typically 1-6mg weekly (pulsed dosing). REQUIRES medical supervision.
Spermidine
Spermidine is a naturally occurring polyamine that induces autophagy—your body's cellular cleanup process. It's found in aged cheese, wheat germ, and other foods, and is emerging as a longevity supplement.
1-6mg daily; higher doses in studies
Marine Collagen
Marine collagen is derived from fish skin and scales. It's primarily Type I collagen (the main type in skin) and is often preferred for its superior absorption and sustainability compared to bovine collagen.
5-10g daily
Fisetin
Fisetin is a flavonoid found in strawberries and other fruits. It's being researched as a powerful senolytic—a compound that clears senescent 'zombie' cells linked to aging and disease.
100-500mg daily for general use; higher doses (1-2g) intermittently for senolytic effects
Probiotics for Skin
The gut-skin axis connects digestive health to skin health. Specific probiotic strains can improve acne, eczema, and overall skin appearance by modulating the gut microbiome and reducing inflammation.
1-10 billion CFU daily of skin-specific strains
