I don’t think you understand how down the rabbit hole this guy goes.
> Bryan Johnson’s supplements list includes more than 100 compounds taken as powders, tablets, and capsules, designed to support different aspects of his health.
This is an insane thing to do and I have delved deeply into supplements myself and it is stunning how hard it is to find evidence that any of them do anything beneficial long term.
This matches me own experience and daily diary of trying things, rating how I feel, bloodwork, etc. The only thing I’ve ever found beneficial long term is testosterone, sunlight, and exercise.
- bitzun 2y agoHe sells supplements, including specific ingredients for which there isn't much evidence of efficacy. Even if you assume most of what he preaches and sells is scientific, some of it is unscientific which sort of undermines the entire pitch, I think.
- BadHumans 2y agoTestosterone in the form of steroids and TRT? Not judging just curious.
- Mistletoe 2y agoJust trt, actually going too high >1000 feels awful to me. Just fixing this world decline helps so much. https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/j.euf.2020.02.006 https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/j.euf.2020.02.006
- wyldberry 2y agoYeah, you won't find evidence for two decades because of the time and resourcing it would take to fund it, plus none of them being in metabolic wards. You can sit around and wait for "The Science" or you can be a data point for yourself.
- xenator 2y agoThere is also big question isn't it is more harm to the system removing its ability to produce what it should produce by itself.
