“Adequate high-quality dietary protein is important for muscle protein synthesis. Although, emphasis on specific amino acids within protein, particularly the branched-chain amino acids, which include leucine, isoleucine, and valine, is probably not necessary for most people.”

“An observational cohort also associated recorded vitamin D supplement exposure with lower dementia incidence, providing a reason for further study of vitamin D status and brain health.”

“Vitamin D has the clearest rationale when it corrects inadequate status, while the wider regimen illustrates how supplement choices can be matched to diet, laboratory results, diagnoses, medicines, and personal goals.”

“Magnesium supports many enzyme reactions, but trials of supplementation for sleep remain small, making measured need and a defined goal more useful than a universal supplement stack. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Diary Of A CEO.”

“In part one of this two-part Aliquot, Dr. Stuart Phillips and I talk about the role of nutrients and supplements in promoting muscle protein synthesis and subsequent increases in muscle mass and strength.”

“And although testosterone and other steroid hormones do influence muscle growth, they play less of a role than one might think – and may carry some risks. In this second part of our two-part Aliquot, Dr. Stuart Phillips and I continue our discussion on the role that nutrients and supplements play in muscle adaptation.”

“As we age, mitochondrial biogenesis tends to decline, but lifestyle factors can counter some of these declines. In this Aliquot, the first part of a two-part series, I'll describe various dietary components and supplements that boost mitochondrial biogenesis.”

“Clinical data suggest that taking supplemental ketones during fasting increases blood levels of ketones but decreases levels of free fatty acids, indicating that the body is no longer relying on stored fatty acids.”

“Ketone esters are exogenous ketone bodies that may promote ketosis in humans. Animal models demonstrate that ketone esters exert beneficial effects in Alzheimer's disease, effectively reducing amyloid accumulation, neurofibrillary tangles, and tau, while improving learning and memory.”

Dr. Jed W. Fahey discusses the health benefits of isothiocyanates, including sulforaphane and moringa.
