NAC, I do yes, and use for protein and fiber chia, and I take a taurine powder
Yep
collagen powder is basicaly glycine so the placebo should have equate for glycine (around 5g).
vegan have higher plasma glycine (several mechanism possible).
What are your thoughts on lions mane?
Can’t afford the vitamins that he recommends as older adult on a fixed income. That’s unfortunate
1. Creatine
2. Protein powder
3. TMG
4. Multivitamin
5. Omega 3
6. Psyllium husk
7. Collagen peptides
8. Hyaluronic acid
9. Low dose melatonin
Doing god’s work. Thank you
and #10 is NAC from the age of 45 (but we're still very early in the research on this strategy, and is the least evidence based supplement that I would take)
@@DrBradStanfield I thought that you said glycine & NAC was good. What about Taurine?
@@DrBradStanfieldwhat are your thoughts on black seed oil and agmatine? They both have an endless list of benefits according to reviews, but I’ve never heard you talk about them. Also, what more studies would you like to see on NAC? I feel like safety is well established, as well as efficacy and mechanism of actions.
Top 2 are from bodybuilders. Let’s keep the trend and add sermorelin for those 30+ to restore their growth hormone levels for all kinds of positive effects
1. 0:02 Creatine
2. 1:55 Protein powder
3. 3:59 TMG
4. 5:29 Multivitamin
5. 6:41 Omega 3
6. 8:06 Psyllium husk
7. 8:32 Collagen Peptides
8. 10:04 Hyaluronic acid
9. 10:53 Low dose melatonin
10. 12:46 NAC
Thankyou!
god bless you chris
Thanks
when i cant stand the persons voice in video's i look down in the comments for people like you who list the main points and to this i say thank you
Comments have been too harsh in recent videos. This guy is breaking down thousands of papers in a digestible manner. Your concerns over Vitamin D3 intake are valid but saying he is shilling his Multivitamin doesn't invalidate the evidence he is referencing!
Agree. If you don’t want to buy vitamins here, don’t. I buy different vitamins separately but I’m very happy Dr. Stanfield developed one to use as a foundation because I’m not
confident of the content and amounts included some other manufacturers.
I agree. I think there is a conflict of interest but it’s fine. The supplement he sells seems to be higher priced but on the flip side getting everything included in his multivitamin in just three pills is super convenient. I was going to buy it but the $9 shipping was a turnoff.
Thank you for your insightful comment. It's true that presenting evidence-based information can sometimes challenge widely held beliefs. My primary goal is always to share the most current and reliable human clinical research and guidelines with everyone. I'm committed to ensuring that the content remains unbiased and isn't swayed by popular opinion. I appreciate the support and understanding from viewers like you, and I encourage everyone to engage in constructive discussions. Let's continue to learn and grow together!
@@DrBradStanfieldyou said we are not rats for protien, 2 mins later you used the rat to share the benefits of taurine?
Doctors performed frontal lobotomies as “best evidence” as late as the 1960’s, so….
We need more curators with high standards in this world, thank you for your work
Man, I love this channel so freaking much. I remember coming across it back when you had 7K followers way back in the day. Amazing to see the channels progress and rightfully so with how unbiased you always make an effort to be, as well as keeping in mind the common questions people have and answering them preemptively. So grateful for all your hard work, you’re truly changing lives for the better.
thanks for supporting the channel since its early days, much appreciated
*Jesus wiLL Hurt You, IF you Hate!!!!*
@@DrBradStanfield question, Is it good to take NAC for bodybuilding? TY.
Thanks for the upload! We appreciate your work.
Brilliant summarisation and delivery. Many thanks.
Thanks for the great overview.
I look forward to each of Brad’s videos. Very clear, perfect length for the material. I’m recommending him to others and have the white bell on. Team Brad.
Brilliant, love it, thanks Dr. S!
I appreciate your dedication to objective presentation of available facts. I wish more people would realize how much time and effort such research takes - kudos to you for your humanitarian task!
Excellent research and information, as always! Thank you!
Thanks for these videos and their detail. Please keep it up🙏🏼🌱
Another great video with helpful information. Thank you! I really enjoy this channel
An absolutely fantastic video! Thank you for delivering this information to us in an easy to understand and calm manner 🙏
Dr. Stanfield, thanks for your dedication to public health with your videos. I have changed my vitamin supplementation because of your scientific summary of the evidence.
Quick question: I have never heard you commenting about MCT (medium chain triglycerides). A few years ago they were all the rage on memory improvement and the like. Would you, please, add your comments about it in a future video? As if you needed more work :-). Thanks in advance
Cheers Brad. Great List Ty.
love your vids ! can't wait to try your vitamins
The conundrum of protein supplementation causing m-tor pathway stimulation (and thus aging) vs. maintenance of muscle has been solved by Centenarians living in blue zones. Blue zones Centenarians eat about 95% plant based diet. Plant protein has reduced levels of leucine, etc. and therefore appears not be a strong of an m-tor pathways activator. Personally I eat plant protein for most of the day and animal protein once a day to minimize m-tor activation but still reach the recommended levels as per Dr. Stanfield or Dr. Attia. Exercise is the key because it both helps to maintain muscle and selectively suppress m-tor.
Well done Brad, thanks.
Thanks for a great breakdown as always Dr Brad!
I can’t stop watching your vids…so much quality, super valuable info! I love this channel… A giant thank you from Italy ✌️
Awesome! Thank you!
Straight to the point, that's why we love you ❤.
Thank you Dr brad long time fam
Thanks for your support
Good information 👍
Love your informative videos 🙏 thank you
Really nice video! Could you please make one focused on supplements for men? Perhaps including your opinions about things like tongkat ali, shilajit, ashgwaganda etc.
I'm getting lost what's right when it comes to protein intake.
“Psyllium husk” has long been known in Japan as “OOBAKO”.
I was able to learn about the effects of "OOBAKO" once again.
Thank you.
Hi Dr. Stanfield, I've been following your video for years, and really appreciate them, and i take many of the same supplements that you do. Re: Hyaluronic Acid, I take that as well, but I do get concerned sometimes about all the potential cancer risk stories that you point out. For example, most of the literature I've found seems to indicate that High Molecular Weight HA trends toward anti-cancer effects, and Low Molecular Weight HA trends toward promoting cancer. But if even if High Molecular Weight HA is broken down in the digestive tract into Low Molecular Weight HA, then are we putting ourselves at some risk for potential cancers? The mice study you mention is encouraging, but I was just wondering if you've seen any other good studies proving that oral supplementation of HA is safe? Thanks again for all the info!
The reason my 71 yr old stopped supplementing with creatine is because of this summary article called "The two sides of creatine in cancer". I highly recommend checking it out and commenting on it.
They point of conflicting effects of creatine. Creatine suppresses tumour growth but increase rates of metastasis. If that's true, you'd want to take creatine if you don't have cancer and you'd want to stop taking creatine if you get cancer.
@@broccoli7263cancer exists in your body many decades before the initial diagnosis. E.g. see "Phylogenetic reconstruction of myeloproliferative neoplasm reveals very early origins and lifelong evolution" and related literature.
@@broccoli7263 heard a while ago that cancer can always develop in anyone and is actually present in most, but the body manages to suppress it. The chance of uncontrolled development is what is detected in diagnosis.
So if you are disabling the chances of it growing by taking creatine, when you stop taking it, you will have a higher chance of metastasis growing...
Something to keep in mind regarding Hyloronic Acid. It raised my blood pressure. My blood pressure was always normal, when I was taking Hyloronic acid, my blood pressure increased by 20 points. It took 2 months of not taking it, now my blood pressure is the lowest it has ever been, thanks to my supplement regimine. This doesn't happen to all people, but you should make sure your blood pressure isn't too high if taking it. Thanks :(. I also took Hyloronic acid from DoNotAge, so it was high molecular weight and of great quality.
Thank you for this vinfo
Same happened to me after taking Glysine& Nac molecule from
#donotage like yours.
Every little info helps👏🤷♀️
Info...🙏👱♀️💊👱♀️
Everybody knows Bryan Johnson. He is a vegan. He does naturally eat some proteins as part of his plant based diet. But does he eat a lot of proteins as hier suggested? No, not at all! And does he have a super strong muscles and a low body fat? Yes! You can check out his latest strength test results and his body fat percentage if you are interested. It's a myth that people in the western world are deficient of proteins. The real issue is that the average caloric intake in the USA is 3540 kcal/day. A significant part of this surplus of calories are proteins. And the average daily physical activity is less than 20 min. So it's very simple: less calories (if you are overweight), more physical activity! Eat whole food and no need to worry about proteins.
Thank you for your work! Its appreciated (from one doctor to another 😊)
Another great video, thoughts on creatine and cancer studies.
I watch all your videos, thank you Doc.
Thanks for your support
You might also look into the research on hyaluronic acid and the other "joint supplements" role in maintaining the endothelial glycocalyx in the interest of reducing atherogenesis.
Great video running down the most promising supplements based on data. I was surprised not to see Taurine make the list considering the recent data on its longevity benefits.
Also, I'm interested in your thoughts on ergothioneine's benefits.
Perhaps limited human studies on taurine explain its absence from the list? Longevity studies were done on mice.
It is in the magnesium taurate@@IanRushtonMusic
He has stated elsewhere he takes Magnesium Taurate hoping to leverage the benefits of Taurine to the increase bioavailability it provides to the Mg
Dr Brad, really appreciate your scientific approach. There is so much noise and hype - its great to have someone bringing a real objective rigour to this whole area.
I am 60 and have heard a lot about Gyl Nac - you mentioned it in this video. Do you know a reputable supplier?
Thank you
Thanks for these suggestions! Love your videos! Like one of the other commenters, I do waver re: hyaluronic acid. It clearly has benefits for skin so I currently take it. But could you please point out any other studies besides that mice study that indicate oral hyaluronic acid doesn't potentially cause cancer? There's so much online saying otherwise that many of us who want to take care of our skin just want peace of mind.
I have a big concern on melatonin regarding it’s function as a hormone. We need more studies on this, I’m so thrilled to see updates in this area!
Love your content
I don't like taking melatonin because you can get addicted to it. I once had to take melatonin for a whole week because I had to awake up at 5 am, whereas I normally wake up at 7 am. But then, when I got back to my normal 7 am schedule, I had a lot of trouble falling asleep without the melatonin. Took me a whole month to normalize it!
Russel Reiter, arguably the world's foremost expert on melatonin, doesn't have these concerns. In all long(er) term studies on melatonin, even using enormous doses in the hundreds of mgs per day, no serious side effects are reported.
@@broccoli7263 I guess it all depends on how you define "serious"...
I get agitation from melatonin. I gave it a good hard go and it's always the melatonin doing it. I sleep better without it.
I use a long term prescription drug now, off-label. It's way better than melatonin, lol.
@@DoubtingThomas333May I ask which medication you are referring to?
Great vid. I see people are making out their shopping lists. Me too.
Great research!! We need more critical thinking people like you filtering all the mess circulating in open media and internet with no regulation at all
I was not a big fan of your NMN research before, but you are starting to win me over now. Can you do a video on NAD+ injections? I see them advertised a lot here in Bangkok. And could you discuss Liposomal NMN, NR, etc? Some claim that the uptake is higher when it is in a liposomal or time release form. Thanks.
NAC is a must if you drink alcohol. Greatly reduces the severity of a hangover.
Good content this time.
Dr. Stanfield, after reading some of the comments below, maybe a listing of the top 100 supplements sold, with a grading of each. I very much appreciate effort and insight.
According to David Minkoff MD - bioavailability of exogenous protein is about 40% per gram
However Perfect AMINO has a laboratory assay bioavailability of 99%
Therefore 10 per gram tablets of perfect amino
equals = 100 grams of protein consumed
Also
Leucine in blood serum new clinical data shows
exogenous leucine amplifies biology of molecules of NMN Resveratrol and Berberine in a “clinically significant “ result ❤
@DrBradStanfield
Amazing work! Thankful for what you do.
Re: Huberman, what about Magnesium L-Theronate for sleep with a low dose Melatonin?
Do the studies support it? Thoughts when convenient..
Doc, can you please consider making a video on Ergothioneine?
Dr Stanfield, I've been hearing a lot about ergothioneine lately. Do you think it's still too early to recommend and if getting it through supplements makes sense? In general, it's also confusing whether it's better to supplement with food extracts or isolated nutrients (e.g., mushroom extract vs. ergothioneine supplement).
Hello Doc, thanks for all this content. Can melatonin be taken regularly or with periods of intermission?
Could you make a video on the best way/times to take these supplements? Could I just mix everything at once and just drink it?
Creatine DOES negatively impact mood in some people. Irritability and aggression. Similar to roid rage, but at a lower level.
Thank you for your great work Dr! Do you consider glucomannan equivalent to psyllium husk?
Thank you, I enjoy your videos! I'm still unsure about protein intake. My kidney doctor told me to eat a low protein diet to protect my kidney. I have only one kidney (it's healthy). I noticed that you dismissed the mouse studies on protein but not on magnesium taurate so I'm confused but I enjoyed the video.
Take care of your kidney and don’t experiment with more protein! Stick to lean chicken breast and drink green or nettle tea to help clean up the kidney 👍🏻
You should eat plant-based protein. It's healthier than the animal based one.
I would love for Dr. Brad Stanfield to do a video on supplements for mental health and mood issues, such as: depression, low mood, mental stress, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, obsessions, empathy burn out, anhedonia, etc...
For example I take L-Theanine and Taurine for their GABAergic effects.
Dr Brad. Could you comment on the benefits of Nutritional yeast? Specifically relating to a Ketogenic diet.
Great list, I take alot of these supplements and they've changed my health for the better, NAC was a game changer for me in terms of breathing during exercise, creatine has been great for overall constant energy levels during the day with no stimulant like crash, TMG has been good for muscle energy and pump.
Can you please make a video on best anti aging supplements ? Will Ca AKG works for anti aging ? And can u please make a video on Bryan Johnson supplements ?
Thank you for the videos and insight! There is a lot of info out there that can be more than a bit overwhelming. I was wondering if you have heard of the Rejuvenation Olympics? Apparently anyone can "Compete" but basically it is a competition between folks trying to turn back the clock between biological age and chronological age. Many post their routines. I would love to get your thoughts on this if you would?

I lowered my cholesterol by 25% and I largely attributed to psyllium husk daily. Also added vitamin B3 as well as more choline. I was already living a pretty good lifestyle and exercising every day. It's just genetic for me to have higher cholesterol.
See my comment about TMG Cholin and TMAO!
@@infinitekindness3321 It doesn't exist...you don't need that $h!t anyway. Supplements are a scam unless you can't eat a proper human diet (mainly animal parts and secretions)
Cholesterol is not associated with heart disease, so you are wasting your money.
@@LTPottenger Amen...this channel is a joke and stanfield should be stripped of his medical license.
Epic, well done on lowering it
It would be very interesting to see an episode on the role of BCAA in longevity, there seems to be a lot of controversy around the topic :)
I used BCAAs when lifting and I swear if helps me recover. Then again, if I actually stuck to protein requirements, maybe I wouldnt need them.
I really appreciate these videos. I've started following your advice more than a year ago.
A half year ago my blood test was fine, but now it has showed that my creatine levels are too high.
Why do you think it is happening? Should I stop supplementing completely? Is this a sign of something else?
Your being too vague about what you're taking, how much and how often and when, how old you are and what your health risks and family histories are. This could be everything and nothing or anything in between. You can stop everything, get your levels back to normal and then slowly add items back in, while testing levels frequently to find the possible cause. You could lower overall dosages of everything and repeat as needed to see if and when your levels go down. You could eliminate one item at a time until you find the potential culprit. You should make sure what your taking is 3rd party tested following the purest most rigorous industry standards, and laboratory test each item you are consuming, keep a comprehensive journal and check vitals daily. You should also see a nephrologist and a geneticist and any other medical or longevity oriented professional who can arm you with the knowledge of how to improve not destroy your health. Supplements are like playing Russian roulette, and can well become a cautionary tale. If it ain't broke don't fix it bears certain relevance. The rhythm of the body is a finely tuned easily disrupted balance. Playing mother nature comes with risks. Do your research and know the risks. Never ignore how you feel or the signs and signals your body sends you. Health is temporary at best. Each day we live we get a day closer to dying. If we're not rich this game is like a shot in the dark, because so few of us have the resources needed to act meticulously in pursuit of longevity. Please stay safe and well and seek individualized professional and medical guidance. Your kidneys and other vital organs are precious treat everything you take as a possible nemesis to your goals until proven otherwise.
Hi Dr Stanfield, thanks for the great videos. I tried your Psyllium Husk Powder brand for two months and was underwhelmed with the results (stool softener-only, added to bloat). Have you tried ORGANIC INDIA Psyllium Husk Pre & Probiotic Fiber? It immediately regulated my bowels and reduced bloat. Thought I'd share that suggestion. Thanks
In Europe, fish oil pills must now list that atrial fibrillation is a common side effect of taking fish oil supplements, this is according to the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee of the European Medicines Agency (Medscape, October 13, 2023). So, it looks like it's better to eat sardines, anchovies, wild caught salmon along with a plant based diet to get your Omega 3's.
I can't wait for you to do a deep dive into TAURINE supplementation. There are not many studies out yet but those that emerged recently are very, very promising.
Doctor, could you please advice on a supplement that helps both density - probably a mix of magnesium with vitamin k? Lots of us loose bone when aging and that also affects face aging a lot - undereye hollows become bigger, jawline becomes smaller, and not retinol can help that. Please advice! :)
So whats the verdict for Glynac and taurine? Lots of buzz out there about these. Also HMB shows benefit in maintaining muscle mass even in the inactive (i have me/cfs). Also some buzz about HMB in dementia and cognitive.
Dr. Stanfield - do you have any thoughts on urolithin a?
my wife & I have been taking these supplements for about 2 years...I think they work for us...we walk 10 to 12 miles a day & i doubt we could have done that 30 years ago.
When and how to take these supplements, morning, evening, with or without food? Which ones can you take together?
Thanks
Take most of these, have tried all. Will add back in hyaluronic acid and TMG. Thanks!
Curious Why citrulline did not make the cut? Pretty substantial evidence of benefit IMHO, and personally, causes massive subjective increase in exercise motivation for me (and endurance as far as output)
Dr. Brad, please talk about creatine and bipolar disorder!
Absolutely brilliant breakdown. No gobbledegook.
Your MicroVitamin I feel needs more magnesium and in it more different salts of magnesium for broader spectrum coverage. It would also be nice if it contained Omega-3 and lutein
Hello, recently I have seen several videos of some doctors who recommend some stuff to use but honestly, despite I respect them for their knowledge, I'm not too impressed, but today looking more info about AKG I found you and you are very well documented professional, great information, thanks. I do have a couple of question if you don't mind, I'm 52 years old, diabetic (type I) which love exercise, working out 4 x /week and some days I ride my bicycle for one hour. I'm in good shape but besides insulin I use Atorvastatin 40 Mg, can I use all those products you recommend as a normal person, also, any safe possible to use something natural to stop the Atorvastatin? Thanks!
Is your mineral supplement complete for osteoporosis? Thank you very much 😊
Nice video, and Im very grateful on your work, but it's a bit contradictory ! If you dont take mice trials in Creatine/ protein, why should we think that in magnesium, suddenly, mice trials are relevant? As you say wexarevnot mice. Just wonder. Thx
Dr. Brad I preordered your supplement back in September, any update on when is it shipping?
Thanks for your support of MicroVitamin during these early days. Your order would have shipped last week. Please email me if you didn't receive a shipment tracking link (check your spam folder, sometimes they end up there)
@@DrBradStanfield you were right it was in the spam folder, and it's been shipped. Can't wait. Thanks for making this, you're one of the top medical science youtubers that I trust!
"It's important to remember we are not mice" dude quoted Sun Tzu right there
I’ve never seen any videos on your channel comparing Broccoli sprouts to GlyNac for Glutathione production. It would be an interesting comparison. 🤔
I also take collagen for my joint pain and that helps quite a bit
Pls make a topic Supplements that benefits MENTAL HEALTH
Dr. Brad mentions the following supplements, and the dosage he takes:
1. Creatine: 5g per day, to improve cognitive performance and muscle mass
2. Protein powder: to reach the recommended daily intake of protein, which is 1.6g per kilogram of body weight per day for young adults and 2g per kilogram of body weight per day for older adults/ (My opinion on this - RDA of protein is 0.8 g/kg body weight)
3. TMG: 500 mg to 1g per day, to help accelerate the recycling of adenosine triphosphate and enhance protein muscle synthesis, and to lower homocysteine levels in the blood, which may help prevent Alzheimer's disease
4. Multivitamin and mineral supplements: to reach the recommended daily intake of micronutrients, especially vitamin B3, D3, K2, zinc, and magnesium
5. Omega-3: 1 to 2 capsules per day, to reduce the risk of heart attacks
6. Psyllium husk: to increase fiber intake, which is associated with reductions in cholesterol
7. Collagen peptides: 10 to 15g per day, to reduce wrinkles and improve skin hydration and elasticity
8. Hyaluronic acid: 200 mg per day, to reduce wrinkles
9. Low-dose melatonin: 300mcg per day, 1 to 2 hours before trying to fall asleep, to improve sleep quality
Bonus supplement: 10. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC): 1g per day, starting at age 45, to restore glutathione levels and improve mitochondrial functions
Yes but also you must make sure the Hylauronic Acid you take comes from Rooster combs, or it doesn’t work. Also I stopped NAC because it lowered my blood pressure too much while I already have low BP..
I tried some of the list, Omega3 cause hair loss as I heared a couple of years ago and I was lucky that I have stopped before.
I love Dr. Stanfield’s videos. My blood pressure had been high for many years and I took medicine until the carnivore diet dramatically lowered it. Now I have high LDL cholesterol. I hope Dr. S will do a video on this. Thank you!
Olive oil ?
@@davidsmith5899 that’s contraindicated on the carnivore diet. Maybe psyllium is good.
Why were you on a carnivore diet in the first place anyways?
I have heard its not a good idea to take direct-route Melatonin. It is suggested it is better to take the amino precursors, namely L-Tryptophan, or 5-htp. If 5-htp is chosen, it should be understood that this is not a long term protocol, 5-htp is a strong drug and has a pronounced effect on Serotonin levels, if Serotonin levels remain high for too long, the receptors will down-regulate (die off) and this has negative effects for mood and well-being. If 5-htp is used, it must also be in tandem with amino precursor L-Tyrosine, the reason being that if you increase Serotonin, you also simultaneously drive down dopamine. SSRI's dont work this way, they dont increase Serotonin, they make what Serotonin you naturally have last longer in the blood.
L-Tryptophan can be used long term at around 1-2g per day, taken in the evening on an empty stomach. The ratio for L-Tyrosine and 5-htp supplementation is 10:1, that is 1 gram of L-tyrosine to every 100mg 5-htp. Supplementation of these two powerful neurotransmitter should only be for a period of around 3 months. After a break of 3 months, another course can be taken if needed.
NAC seems to boost how deep and well i sleep when i take it with my night-time magnesium. Ive nitced a significant difference when pairing them together and when only taking magnesium
Stop lecturing me, please!
Good to know - it's def worth a try for people like me with severe insomnia! Mag does seem to help, but it has laxative effects too....
@@terfaliciouswhat form are you taking? Magnesium glycinate doesn’t have a laxative effect. Citrate definitely does.
@@lightghost7524whatever life has in store for me, I'll miss the part where that's my problem.
NAC and glycine work well together
What kind of supplements brand will you suggest to buy in New Zealand?
What are your throught on Taurine supplement ?
The only supplement on your list of ten that I don’t take is low dose melatonin. I any dose size, it causes my to have night terrors, so that is off the table! After five years of different collagen peptides, I temporarily stopped them due to no effect on my skin, hair or joints. I have recently restarted a collagen peptide made from eggshell membrane. I’ll stop that one if I don’t see any results after one year, since this one is more expensive than the other three.
What about glycine ? What’s the difference in TMG and just regular glycine ? I take normal glycine along with NAC. should I replace glycine with TMG or are they totally different ?
Any suggestions for blood pressure reduction?
But Dr Stanfield, you said in another video "Melatonin supplements should be avoided due to lack of evidence and potential LONG-TERM HEALTH CONSEQUENCES."

What is your take on Urolithin A?
Hello doctor - on your general recommendation for creatine - any research would have on effect on blood levels of homocysteine for say those with one bad copy of mthfr gene and homocysteine greater than 10 and wanting to lower to under 7. Or does supplementation increase levels of BUN? Thanks on any research can find on this.
