New Recommendations on Anti-Aging Supplements

Greetings,

Recently I have come across this new book written by a medical doctor for lay public with practical recommendations what supplements to take in order to fight the aging of our brains:

The Brain Trust Program: A Scientifically Based Three-Part Plan to Improve Memory, Elevate Mood, Enhance Attention, Alleviate Migraine and Menopausal Symptoms, and Boost Mental Energy
by Larry McCleary, M.D.


Here is the new suggested anti-aging protocol for taking the following supplements:


Magnesium, 600 mg at bedtime

Taurine, 1 gram each morning and 1 gram each evening

Acetyl L-carnitine, 100-500 mg a day

Alpha-lipoic acid, 50-300 mg a day

Coenzyme Q10, 25-100 mg a day

Vitamin D, 400 IU in oil as a soft gel a day

Huperzine A, 75-100 mcg twice a day

Vinpocetine, 5-10 mg twice a day


Marine lipids:

-- eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), 1-2 grams per day

-- docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), 1-2 grams per day

-- krill oil, 2-4 capsules per day


B vitamins (daily doses):

-- thiamin (B1), 20 mg

-- riboflavin (B2), 20 mg

-- niacin, 20 mg

-- pantothenic acid, 20 mg

-- biotin, 300 mg

-- pyridoxine (B6), 20 mg

-- cobalamin (B12), 100 mcg

-- folic acid, 800 mcg

-- choline, 20 mg

The book also suggests the so-called "Ketogenic Cocktail" to treat hot flashes in menopausal women:

-- Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) oil, 1-2 tablespoons (about 15 grams/tablespoon)
-- Flaxseed oil, 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon
-- Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), 50 mg

It may be interesting to hear from the experts here, whether these supplements would really work, are their doses appropriate, and what side effects may be possible.

To share your knowledge, or perhaps even your personal experience in trying these supplements already, please post you comments below, by clicking here

Thank you!
