AdaptogenModerate

Ashwagandha (KSM-66)

Adaptogen with solid RCT evidence for cortisol reduction, sleep quality, and perceived stress.

Dose300–600 mg KSM-66 per day, preferably in the evening.
· Evening
MetabolicModerate

Berberine (HCl, dihydroberberine)

Plant alkaloid with metabolic effects — lowers fasting glucose and LDL in multiple meta-analyses. Drug interactions exist.

Dose500 mg, 2–3x daily with meals. Dihydroberberine is 5x more bioavailable than HCl.
· With food
SenolyticEmerging

Fisetin

Flavonoid with senolytic activity in animal models. Clinical endpoints in humans still unclear.

DoseStudy protocols: 20 mg/kg on 2 consecutive days per month. Liposomal form preferred for bioavailability.
· Pulse dosed
SleepModerate

Glycine

Amino acid with effects on sleep quality, core body temperature, and methylation. Inexpensive and well studied.

Dose3 g before bed, dissolved in water.
· Evening
EssentialStrong

Creatine Monohydrate

One of the most thoroughly studied supplements. Benefits for muscle, bone, and increasingly cognition.

Dose3–5 g/day, any time. No loading phase needed.
· Any time
EssentialStrong

Magnesium Glycinate

Highly bioavailable, gentle on the stomach. Supports sleep, muscle recovery, and neural function.

Dose200–400 mg elemental magnesium in the evening.
· Evening
NAD⁺ precursorEmerging

NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)

Direct NAD+ precursor. Early-phase clinical evidence shows raised blood NAD+ levels after oral dosing.

Dose250–500 mg/day, morning.
· Morning
EssentialStrong

Omega-3 Fish Oil (EPA/DHA)

Lowers triglycerides, modulates inflammation. Relevant for anyone not eating fatty fish regularly.

Dose1–2 g combined EPA+DHA per day. Take with a meal.
· With food
SenolyticEmerging

Quercetin (with bromelain)

Flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and senolytic properties (studied alongside dasatinib). Poor oral bioavailability.

Dose500–1,000 mg/day. Bromelain or lipid-based formulations improve absorption.
· Pulse dosed
OtherEmerging

Spermidine (from wheat germ)

Polyamine with autophagy-inducing effects in vivo. Early-phase human data on cognition and mortality in cohorts.

Dose1–6 mg/day, morning. Wheat germ extracts are the standard.
· Morning
MetabolicEmerging

Taurine

Conditionally essential amino acid with promising animal data on lifespan extension. Human data is emerging.

Dose1–3 g/day with a meal.
· With food
EssentialStrong

Vitamin D3 + K2

Vitamin D status is widely insufficient from autumn through spring in temperate climates. K2 complements D3 synergistically.

Dose1,000–4,000 IU D3/day, dosed to blood level (25-OH-D3 target 40–60 ng/mL). 100–200 µg MK-7 K2.
