@kristisawicki: Longevity supplements don’t have to be trendy to be valuable. These are 5 of the “unsexy” basics I keep coming back to: Magnesium — involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including cellular energy production, plus muscle, nerve and bone function. Fiber — feeds the gut microbiome, supports short-chain fatty acid production and gut barrier health, and can support healthy cholesterol and glucose regulation. Omega-3s — specifically EPA + DHA. They’re incorporated into our cell membranes and support cardiovascular health, brain health, triglyceride metabolism and healthy inflammatory signaling. Vitamins A, D + K — important for immune function, epithelial health, bone remodeling, calcium metabolism and maintaining strong bones as we age. Because these are fat-soluble vitamins, more is NOT always better. Creatine — not just for bodybuilders. It helps regenerate ATP, supports muscle, strength and performance, and there’s growing research around brain energetics and cognition. I love the cutting-edge longevity science as much as anyone. Peptides, testing, new technology — that stuff is fun. But don’t ignore the basics. They may not be sexy, but done consistently, the basics pay dividends. Follow for more science-backed longevity tips. 🧬
