Supplements show potential for improving biomarkers and functions but lack concrete evidence of reversing aging.

Creatine not only boosts sports performance but also supports brain health, despite limited research on biological age reversal.
Deep dives
Supplements and Aging Reversal
There is limited evidence supporting actual aging reversal through supplements. While findings suggest improvements in biomarkers and functions such as cognition and fitness, direct youth restoration remains unsubstantiated.
Thymus Regeneration Study
A 2019 study focused on thymus regeneration using a supplement mix including human growth hormone, metformin, DHEA, and vitamin D3. Participants experienced reduced inflammation, improved kidney function, and a 1.5 to 2.5-year reduction in epigenetic age.
Creatine for Reversing Aging
Creatine is highlighted for not only enhancing sports performance but also benefiting brain health and cognition. While specific studies on biological age reversal are lacking, evidence supports creatine's role in maintaining physical and mental youthfulness.
Vitality Blend Controversy
Discussions surround controversial studies on the vitality blend supplement, including ingredients like calcium alpha-ketoglutarate. While some studies show age reversal effects, ongoing debate questions the supplement's overall effectiveness.
Post-Workout Protein Intake
Studies suggest that 100 grams of protein post-workout has superior effects compared to 25 grams for muscle development. However, the impact can vary based on individual factors such as workout type and overall dietary habits.
