“Creatine is one of the most widely studied and commonly used supplements in sports nutrition. As a naturally occurring molecule in the body, it plays a central role in cellular energy metabolism, especially in tissues that demand rapid energy turnover, like skeletal muscle and the brain.”

“Lastly, we don't know the dose of vitamin D that was associated with health improvements—just whether participants used or didn't use vitamin D supplements. For these reasons, we can't definitively say that vitamin D is certain to prevent dementia.”

“Dr. Huberman delays his first meal until late morning, then uses protein-rich whole foods, fruit, vegetables, and starches according to training and appetite. His core supplements include omega-3s, vitamin D, vitamin K2, and selected products guided by his own response and blood work.”

“Nutritional status plays a critical role in aging. Emerging evidence now suggests that supplemental omega-3 fatty acids or vitamin D slow epigenetic aging. In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath describes evidence suggesting that supplemental vitamin D or omega-3 fatty acids slow epigenetic aging.”

“Vitamin D status is commonly assessed with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, but the same supplement dose can produce very different blood levels. In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Tim Ferriss Show, she describes how baseline status, body size, genetics, sun exposure, and supplement content can contribute to that variation.”

“In this member Q&A clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick says she does not use a nightly sleep-supplement stack. She previously used melatonin for night terrors but stopped when she did not notice a meaningful difference.”

“Some research suggests that dietary supplements might offer a means to lengthen telomeres. Candidates include vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and TA-65, a product that purportedly contains extracts of astragalus membranaceus, a plant-based compound that demonstrates anti-aging effects.”

“Measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D helps place these factors in context. When sunlight is insufficient, Dr. Patrick favors vitamin D3 over vitamin D2 and stresses that dose should match the person rather than follow a universal rule.”

“A 500-milligram supplement produced substantially greater exposure than approximately 240 milliliters of pomegranate juice. The study illustrates how the microbiome can influence the amount of an active metabolite obtained from food.”

“In animal studies, the mitochondrial enzyme nicotinamide riboside, when provided as a supplement, protected the animals against age- or noise-induced hearing loss. Other studies have explored how NAD supplementation affects global mitochondrial function and DNA damage.”
