Health and Longevity Supplement Stack
Health and Longevity Supplement Stack
November 2024 Update
In my previous article, Health and Longevity Supplements, I listed a supplement stack designed for my own personal wellness, fitness, and longevity. Since then, I’ve added some things and taken some stuff out.
I am writing an update that reflects these changes, hopefully giving some additional information on both supplement timing and dosage to maximize each supplement's effectiveness. For those interested in further optimizing their health journey, my guide Medical Tourism in Mexico: Your Guide to Clinic Visits & Diagnostic Services also insights into accessing affordable, high-quality healthcare options in Mexico.
I am 100% open to criticism about this stack, If you have any input or suggestions, please leave a comment below.
A lot of my research on this stack stems from different accounts on twitter along with my own research so I’ll also highlight the accounts and some tweets within the article

Why I Take It: I take TMG for its methylation support, as it enhances cellular and metabolic health
