Protein powder, Leucine, Taurine, NMN, Coenzyme q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid ❤👍
I don't consider protein powder longevity extending when we can get all the protein we need from a good diet. I'm sure it helps bodybuilder like Thomas but I don't think there's evidence that protein powder outperforms Whole Food protein when it comes to longevity
@@brianwnc8168agree, but.... strength is muscle mass. You need more when getting older, especially when a lot of old people eat less.
Where is creatine?
@@jayonsee4946 This says supplements he takes "daily." Maybe he takes creatine on and off.
Where does anyone buy NMN anymore? Amazon doesn’t sell it. Who does, and at a decent price?
Taurine is the king of everything you have on here.
Isn't it crazy like 15 years ago they were saying taurine was the reason people were dying from Red Bull😂
@@ahefner33 And they said it came from bulls’ balls lol
@blahizake true story. I get my physicals at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville . I told them about my regiment with taurine because I had read papers about it because I used to drink energy drinks that had taurine in it and also read that taurine being the cause of death from energy drinks. When I saw the benefits and what they actually do I started taking it and the doctors at the Mayo started saying be careful with that and you don't know what that can do to you. Now yes that can be with any supplement but I tried to explain to them the research and nobody ever cared about it. I doubt they still do today. But I figure they thought about it as something they didn't learn about in school but didn't know it came mainly from a lot of meat and beef
Sorry using speech to text grammar might not be very well
@@ahefner33 Their hands are tied psychologically, politically, monetarily, etc. There are too many factors working against conventional doctors for them to recommend anything other than pharmaceuticals or practices from the 1970’s. In either case, if anyone is able to do their own research and look into the literature and testimonials for taurine, it’s almost too good to be true. I haven’t seen anything with half the depth and breadth of benefits that taurine and glycine provide.
Also, it’s pretty funny how many of the supplements known to demonstrably improve human health are compounds already found in animal products. It’s no wonder that people feel so much better after eating more meat and organs.
Protein powder(25 -45g) one to three times a day supplementing all kinds of meats, magnesium of 9 organic forms, zinc complex, vit D3 10K IU daily, low dose creatine(2.5-3g 1-2 times a day), water, sleep well. Only associate mentally healthy people. Run and walk daily. Resistance training in some form throughout the week. Lowish carb diet. Enjoy any physical activity Outside.
Live long and prosper in healthy happiness.
Thank you for taking the time to share your day!
looks great
Hypercalcemia, and perhaps atherosclerosis, are risks with ultra high vitamin D intake, especially if you don't take some form of vitamin K2 (natto or supplement) as well.
3,200IU = 80 micrograms is the highest tablet dose available over the counter in Norway, but pharmacists often say that's for people with a deficit and try to sell me a lower dose (800 IU or 1600 IU, the latter in wintertime). I still buy the 80 microgram tablets, but I don't take them every day. I buy them only because they're the cheapest per microgram.
Several years ago the maximum was 20 micrograms or 800 IU, and even then I remember at least one pharmacist recommending a lower dose unless I knew I had a deficit.
"Some people are overdoing it with supplements. Researchers looking at national survey data gathered between 1999 and 2014 found a 2.8% uptick in the number of people taking potentially unsafe amounts of vitamin D - that is, more than 4,000 international units (IU) per day, according to a research letter published in the June 20 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)."
'Harvard Health Publishing (HHP) is the consumer health information division of Harvard Medical School (HMS), the graduate medical school of Harvard University.'
@@anderslvolljohansen1556 Because Vitamin D is fat-soluble it can accumulate in the body and lead to life-threatening conditions.
Btw, a simple vitamin D blood test cannot show whether you are deficient or not.
Supplement manufacturers like to make this claim, but to detect whether you're actually deficient you need to measure the active form of vitamin D in your body: 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.
The form that is measured in a simple vitamin D blood test, namely 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which is what you increase when you take one of those supplements, does not even trigger the conversion into the active form.
Low calcium and phosphate blood levels is what triggers the conversion.
(That's also why supplementation can lead to hypercalcemia, which is very bad.)
So a lot of people supplement even though they don't need to, supplement in a way that is wasteful, and supplement to excessive levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D which can actually inhibit conversion to the active form.
And when they take a test they measure the wrong thing.
EAA's (essential amino acids),
Glycine,
Trace minerals complex,
Active B vitamin complex,
Vit C complex (with flavones),
Magnesium
Excellent video Thomas, thanks for all these concise tips! I was wondering if you could tell us your favorited protein powders(s)? I’m always looking for good recommendations to try, thank you!
On behalf of Thomas, we don't recommend any brand.
Supplemental bank deposits will help to reduce anxiety too
Love your videos Thomas. Thanks for all the awesome info you are constantly sharing with us. Important distinctions: Ubiquinol is the ideal form of Coq10. RALA (In the Stablized form) is the preferred form of ALA. Also: Look into NMNH, a novel new form of NMN. Appears to be a positive evolution.
Great info! TYSM
🙏Dear sir first of all thanks a lot for scientifically explained information 🙏
One request is that can u arrange products u offer to ship to India ?
All of that he mentions is available in India bro just not the same brands
What about urolithin A ?
I add for those k2-mk7 and NAC instead of alpha lpioc acid
AWESOME VIDEO 👍
I think taurine is good for oxidative stress. It is found in the liver of animals in higher amounts. That lets me know that it functions in the liver. My hypothesis from taking it because I take stuff, I want to make note of its use. The usefulness of taurine is likely to prevent oxidative stress from sugar stores in the liver and helps manage that. If I have eaten a lot of sugar and taurine is used, I get upset stomach. My liver stores a lot of sugar and as such, it creates oxidative stress when it releases after a large meal and no exercise. It likely plays a significant role in clearing out bad sugar stores in the liver or something to do with it. I don't know though. Resveritrol is starvation in a bottle and really needs to be taken with caution and not all the time or it will do major harm. But Kefir seems to be something that I think helps due to its vitamin k2 which increases calcium absorption which plays a role in cardiac arrest when people take HMB due to its high calcium content. I have to go now.
THANKS AGAIN THOMAS I ALREADY TAKE ALL OF THESE ANNAMAY
Does magnesium fit in your lifespan and healthspan regimen?
Is R lipoic acid a better fit than alpha lipoic acid? Some docs I watch recommend that instead.
This is what I just thinking about 😊
Thanks again, Thomas, for good content!
I was just starting to bring up, that where would You put fish liver oil (cod liver oil, to be specific) in Your supplement chart. But then at the next moment You named the extra item to the list - cod liver oil. Now it seems a legit list of great supplements ;)
For me, when talking about supplements, cod liver oil is the number one.
Keep doing, what You do, Thomas!
Are we reading the same study on ALA. It says supplementation has the the same effect as placebo.
I like a video that confirms the set of supplements that I am taking rn.
Ubiquinol over COq10 ?
Please advise
Thanks
I use cayenne on pretty much everything! Thank you Thomas for these advice
What does cayenne have to do with anything he said in this video? Genuinely curious.
What brand of NMN & taurine do you take please? I couldn’t find the link.
Excellent intro🤌
thomas can you do a men vs women video. every time i mention any of your advice to my gf she says yeah well thats for guys, but i think 95% of your advice applies to everyone
I just placed an order using your link
What kind of aminos do you suggest? Can you take it in capsule form? Does it make you bulk up? 🏃♀
What is the interaction of taurine with cod liver oil and coq10? is there any concern with long term use of taurine and gaba?
Hi Thomas. Do you believe in tally health vitality pills by David Sinclair? Do you take it?
Reservatol has been debunked as a longevity supplement. I'm surprised Thomas hasn't caught on yet. And Sinclair looks like he duped GSK for 700 mil.
I wouldn't believe Sinclair if he told me the sun would rise in the east tomorrow.
…locked Thomas 🔥
Natrol Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) Time Release Tablets - 600mg.
Is this a good ALA?
What type of protein powder do you suggest? Whey, vegetable, collagen??
When he has recommended powders before he said to use 1.High quality Isolate/Hydrosilyte Protein, and 2.Protein Concentrate (to get more complete protein molecules)
Wow, never seen one so early
Thomas what about the more bioactive form of ala aka R-ala?
You’re right, they are very different. ALA did nothing for me. R-ala is in my experience moderately but noticeably helpful w nerve issues.
Aren't eggs better than protein powder? Natural, fresh, whole food with vitamins and minerals as opposed to factory processed stale powder...
Supplements...
Eggs are great.
But it's a lot easier to grab a scoop of protein powder then it is to eat 5 eggs.
They also mentions cofactors in whey protein in other videos
Yea 1:1 Eggs are better no question and there are better ways to get protein in your diet in general I think most just use protein powered as a meal replacement since its quick and easy. I've been using a nut based protein powered and I really like it as its a better form of protein than many others if time if a factor for you. The main problem with most protein powered is the research I've seen shows they spike your insulin WILDLY so if your supplementing with them daily it could cause you problems.
No, eggs and egg protein has its own problems.
I recommend vegan protein powder that has more nutrients, more protein, a better amino acid profile, less fat, less calories, etc.
@@xnoreqlol, fuck outta here with that vegan powder bullshit. Not only is vegan powder hard for a lot of people to digest, it’s also disgusting to drink, like mud. Not to mention that vegan bullshit all comes from monocrop agriculture which is hell on earth to produce and fucking destroys the soil it comes from.
Eggs are FARRRR more nutritious than any fucking vegan powder will ever be. FAR more bioavailable! If you have an egg allergy, which most people don’t, just eat chicken. Most people are completely fine with eggs.
@@xnoreq Incorrect. Eggs are naturally rich in vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium and iodine. They also contain vitamin A and a number of other B vitamins including folate, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline. Vegan protein has NONE of those nutrients. Eggs also have a protein bioavailability score of 88 to 100 compared to vegan proteins, which range from 74 to 82 so you'd need to eat 30% more vegan protein to get the same results
how about yeast protein powder is that acceptable?
I’m surprised you haven’t covered Urolithin A supplements for longevity before.
Is Alpha Lipoic Acid the same as Alpha GPC or ist it valuable to take them both? Happens that I have both of them but google one time says it's other name for alpha gpc, other time says it's thiotic acid. Any chemician here to help?
I'd add glutathione although a little expensive, just like urolithin, also I would add nd one that none associate exactly with longevity, and that would be omega 3's, because it does help with longevity and overall health as we know, Thanks.
That's included with cod liver oil
I would avoid a glutathione supplement because it breaks down in your stomach and rarely gets fully absorbed at a therapeutic level. A more effective way is to supplement with the three precursors because glutathione is a tripeptide. And if you supplement with the building blocks, then it builds faster and better in your body. I’ve experienced this myself because I have a genetic predisposition towards lower glutathione levels, and I’ve tested my glutathione recently, and the levels were really good. The three peptides are glycine, cystine, and glutamate. Since the body produces its own glutamate, I only supplement with NAC and Glycine.
Agree with Glycine comment rather than glutathione
Do you ever watch Yahki Awakened ?? Protein from what source plants?
The biggest problem with any kind of powder, as opposed to consuming whole food, (i.e. protein supps), is that it has a tremendously high insulin spiking capability… this is how we lose our metabolic flexibility and move more towards in some resistance.
Makes sense - although I would think oxidation is also a factor
Only whey protein does that. I switched to a vegan powder over a year ago. I feel better, can digest it better and my gains have improved.
@@xnoreq mixed reviews on that for sure... here's an excerpt from Dr. Don Clum at Insulin Friendly Living in a recent post: :"We now know that specialized cells in the upper part of our digestive tract, called “K-cells,” interpret the food we eat before it is fully digested and well before it has passed into the bloodstream.
K-cells appear to interpret the food we eat by its constitution rather than the nutrients, carbs, protein, or fat it contains.
A study out of Japan showed that apples consumed whole have an “X” insulin response, and the same amount of apple made into a sauce and eaten in the same amount of time has 100% more, and the same amount of apples made into juice has a 150% increase.
These apple servings had the same amount of nutrients, calories, and sugar, yet the insulin response varied by 1 and 1.5 times.
As more foods were tested, showing the same pattern, they determined that the change in the constitution created the hyper-insulin response.
The same increase in insulin secretion was found in cooked food as well. A potato will have a meager insulin response if eaten raw, yet the longer you cook it and break it down, the higher the insulin secretion is.
The most dramatic unnatural hyper-insulin response is seen in any food made from a powder.
Powder-based foods include any type of flour, such as wheat, almond, coconut, and oats, and they also apply to powdered protein and amino acid supplements and any powdered meal replacement.
This hyper-insulin response protein powder occurs even though protein powder doesn’t raise blood sugar."
Hope this helps!
Then dont take the whey on it's own. Mix it with some healthy fats or fiber that's what I do to reduce the spike.
I use a grass fed meal replacement called hlth code. I don't think it spikes my blood glucose. Its great at lunch time.
You might want to also consider sunlight exposure, which not only facilitates the endogenous production of the prohormone cholecalciferol (AKA "vitamin D3") in the skin, but also helps regulate melatonin production, etc.
What's your thoughts on studies showing NMN and NR raise NAD very little where as B3 (niacin) seems to give much more bang for your buck? Also, latest studies on Glycine and NAC show very promising results. I take these combined with Taurine, creatine, niacin, curcumin, TMG and R-ALA as well as protein powder and protein peptides.
Agree, b3 is all you need
Nicotinic Acid works much better than NMN, is easy to buy and very cheap. NMN is a bit of a scam
Mine are Protein, Omega 3 Fish Oil, Creatine & D3 age 43. I think there becomes a point when the obsession leads you to take way too many supplements and before you know it there's 10 on the list. Nothing activity/excercise/resistance training beats as well as a balanced diet including all Protein, Carbs & Fat.
when do you take Taurine and do you take it all in one dose
Amino acids best taken empty stomach with electrolytes
Hi, Thomas. Have you heard of The Wellness Messiah here in UA-cam? He advocates taking resveratrol 3 days per week non back to back days with 4 days off and always to take after exercise and preferably 24 hours before intense exercise. Also I take NMN and I take it sub lingual to bypass first phase metabolism. What do think of this? Personally I think some medicines/supplements go well when digested (coq10, iodine, k2 from nato or meat) but others not so much.
Can you take NMN during your fast? I have lozenges
Would nmn be ok to take if I’m on a BP med?
That's a question for your doctor
I’m on a BP med and my doctor gave me the okay but definitely double check. I’m on guanfacine
What protein powder do you use??
Don’t buy bomar nutrition it’s awful! Believe me.
Is anyone researching and taking Urolithin A for motochondrial support?
Can Taurine help with tics also?
Carnivore diet solves that problem. Research Ken Baker, Anthony Chaffee and Dr.
I take the majority of those supplements, except NMN which I think is a bit of a scam. Some say niacin is just as good.
Niacinamide is just as good, niacin does something totally different. Nmn is effective. But more expensive.
@@sgill4833I heard the exact opposite; that it is better to take plain niacin with the flushing effect. Not saying I am correct here.
Wouldn't ALA and antioxidants make muscle building less effective?
Hey Thomas in a previous video you put out about ALA you said that it should be taken for performance on your heaviest volume days.
Now I’m this video to you are saying to take it daily.
You had said not to take it daily so your body produces it endogenously.
Have you changed your stance about this? Or are these two separate recommendations for different purposes.
Based on watching both videos my instinct is take take smaller doses daily and up the dose on heavier training days. I would appreciate the clarification
Is it too late to start NMN in late 50's? Wish I new about this in my 30's.
I take a tbs of sacha inchi oil daily for my omega 3, 21 times more omega 3 than red salmon.
That's probably overkill
@@lilllwizzzle The dose is supposed to be 1 tsp but I have been taking 1 tbs a day for over 4 yrs without any noticeable ill effects.
Would love some more info on timing, but great info nonetheless.
CoQ 10 in the morning, taurine in the evening
Very impressive information for our physical bodies but we are spiritual beings as well and spiritual fitness should be our goal as well.
Actually with physical death body will be gone and spirit will live on, being permanent or eternal. More work needs to be done on it.
Jesus is the best spiritual "Macro"
@@angieobes9835 Better ground yourself in reality than make-believe.
Did he say how many mg of CoQ10 he takes?
Hope you hit 4mill subs bro
do those supplements work for women as well, or would you add or remove anything?
Yes I imagine they're just as good for women, don't see why not.
I take taurine and MCT powder with my coffee latte every day as routine….😋😎
The taurine may make you sleepy if taken in the morning
Is it true that Alpha Lapoic Acid R is good for you, but Alpha Lapoic Acid S is actually bad for you? I notice that R is generally more expensive?
S only uses half of the isomer, so take twice as much.
@@whiteninja9481
S competes with R making the R not as good. Don't take any S. Just take R.
Yes, you want R.
How much Co Q10 do you take? You didn't mention the dose. Anyone?
CoQ10 Ubiquinol 100 mg per day
❤ 🏋🏻♂️ مادة عظيمة، شكرا لكم
My dad is have kidney pain, but it hasn't affected his walking or anything yet. Anybody know what he should be taking? He's drinking a lot more water now and cranberry juice.
Take him to see a doctor.
@@vozina171 He just recently changed doctors a day or two ago. I'm still kind of concerned, but thanks for the reply. Bad kidneys runs in my dad's side of the family. His mom also had kidney trouble, and his brother even gave one of his kidneys to her before she passed on.
If you take creatine and/or have more lean body mass and you get a low kidney function test ask for a Cystatin C test and you might get a normal result. Carnivore Dr. Shawn Baker, 6ft 5 and 260 pounds got a 56 on the normal creatine eGFR test but a 112 on the Cystatin C test.
@@gseric4721 I am sorry to hear that.
Honestly I'd recommend cod liver oil probably 4000mg a day. I take up to 5500mg of fish oil but that can cause bleeding. It's a lot more important to subtract what's causing problems then to add supplements keep in mind. Also pain can manifest in that area for things other then kidneys
i take all of these
60+ My "must haves" are still maturing. Cod Liver Oil, CoQ10, D3/K2, Gymnema, zinc are the first string. I will certainly fold in more players to optimize the journey
Be careful with the zinc, you may need to up your intake of copper rich foods.
@@kristinerendulic5501 agreed, it is a zinc/copper combo, much like you want to take D3 with K2. Thanks!
You should try eating just whole foods
No omega 3’s?
Cistanche , Tonkat , nattokinase ,taurine ,bull testicles ,saw palmetto
51years
Bull testicles? What do they do for longevity? 😅
How much, potential risks, what time?
What about multi vitamins?
Am I in a fasted state if I haven't eaten for ten hours?
I though you were also going to mention AKG.
1g Nmn and tmg from dna did nothing for an entire year. 36yo cold storage & fast delivery- none of it materialized
Thomas's future videos in 2024...
- Why I no longer take NMN
- Why I no longer take Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Why I know longer take.....
It won't take long lol
Yep, as we discover new things with science we use whatever is better at the time. I was taking NR and now I'm taking NMN because it works a bit better. After NMN, there will likely be a newer better compound we find that works even better, so I'll switch to that. If you don't trust the science then it's ok to take none of it and ignore all the benefits.
Yeah but.. he's going based off of what he knows now. I appreciate that it's a continuous research
😝
I heard alpha lipoic acid supplements are derived from coal tar
According to Bing's Copilot:
Niacinamide and nicotinamide are indeed the same thing! They both refer to a type of vitamin B-3. Despite the similarities in names, they are identical in chemical structure and function. When I search nicotinamide through Amazon, both supplements pop up. Are they the same? Also, FDA is expressing some concern about this supplement due to a dearth of human studies.
Nmn isn't allowed to be sold on Amazon. I don't know how it's different from what you're searching though but I would believe there is some difference
How much nmn?
Leucine = MTOR
R-ala or just ala?
The report says it has similar affect as placebo. How is that a good study.
what about TMG... as you take NMN
It is included in the brand he’s promoting. Saw it as part of the ingredients.
How many mg of Coq10?
100 mg per day, the Ubiquinol form
Make sure to use the R-Alpha Lipoic Acid form; NOT just straight Alpha Lipoic Acid
I know…I was thinking the same thing, however taking a 600mg dose of non-stabilized ALA is equivalent to about 300mg of r-ALA, which is sufficient in my opinion 😊
@proudtobeweird Most likely. I use it along with Benfotamine (the fat soluble version of B1 (Along with a few other things)to help repair Nerve damage related to Peripheral Neuropathy. The non R version, and Thiamine (more common version of B1) do Diddly Squat to help with nerve repairs.
@@jasonhurst8599 Makes sense 👍🏻
Thomas - your recommended longevity supplements will not apply to people who are not in their 30’s. Ubiquinone might be good for younger people. But older folks will need ubiqinol for better uptake.
When it comes to thc, 10mg a day works just as well
Id add glycine
NAC + GLYCINE = GLYNAC (super stack)
Will be amazing if you add supplements brands recommendation
I like that he doesn’t it helps me trust that he does not have an ulterior motive. Knowing that he isn’t pushing the products means he just genuinely wants to spread the info rather than looking for a profit through advertising/referral
@@thewatcher193 Agree. It's better that he's not endorsing brands, but rather, what to look for in brands and it's the viewer's personal diligence to choose where to get their supplements
+ Collagen peptides , vit.D3 + vit. K2-MK7 , Omega 3 and 7
Definitely collagen types 1 and 3, magnesium and omega 3. I think HA would be optimal too 😊
@@littlevoice_11 I agree ....
Dr. Michael Greger talks about too much protein raising IGF and increasing all cause mortality. Its getting impossible for Joe average out here listening to all the health experts trying to get direction on whats best to do. Help!!!!!
india pale ale not on list!
Thomas = leading Longevity Chad. Especially focused on healthspan.
5:01 34%
CA AKG
I understand AAKG has the same effect and is cheaper
Delauer, how much steroids?
Hypogonodal?
How many of these would a carnivore need?
Why NMN when you can boost NAD much cheaper with Niacin/Niacinamide? - Oh, you have a link where I can buy NMN. OK, got it. (did I see Resveratrol on the package? Y?)
Can I possibly ask - do you take niacin or niacinamide? If so what dose? Flushing/non-flushing? I have been taking NMN but obviously it's expensive and I've heard a lot of people saying something similar to what you're saying.
@@horsepaste817 does not really matter which one, but do not like the flush. 500mg, sometimes 1000
@@horsepaste817 I prefer 500mg of Niacinamide, because I do not like the flush, sometimes I go higher. I also like to point out that it is likely that NAD boosting in general has no effect at all for you. I do it, because it subjectively improves post workout recovery of my nervous system. but that might as well be the effect of TMG, which I obviously take along with the NAD booster supplement.
I've taken ALL of these, no major difference. Aside from having that much less money in my bank account.
Ultra refined omega 3's are bar none the most important.
Cod liver oil
@@DaRkJaWs42 Yep. That works. I prefer IFOS approved fish oil brands however.
I would definitely add glynac for anyone over 50. Tons of actual human, not mice, data
