Links to Supplements Roc Takes (updated 7/28/2023)
Roc was born in 1948, BMI 24, in excellent physical shape and health, ran the Chicago Triathlon in 2021.
Below is a list of supplements Roc takes. After age 40 for men or menopause for women, our metabolic changes are often similar, so I suggest reviewing my choices below with a physician who is open minded about the value of supplements. And here is a spreadsheet indicating for which conditions like dementias and heart disease they may be useful for extending your healthspan. For other ages and genders, see information here. At this link are choices other people have made.
Note that I am currently in a clinical trial where I take a statin every day, so I take CoQ10 daily to avoid leg cramps, and do not take Niacin because it causes flushing.

*These are the products I use, most based on cost, convenience, and reputation. I get $1 for each Mito-C and Triumph bottle sold.
**I used to take Genistein and alpha-ketoglutarate together at night, but the combination gave me indigestion. Since taurine and alpha-KG both reduce the risk for sarcopenia, I take them in the morning now.
*** Note these cost more as they have multiple ingredients
