ADVICE

Build A Supplement Stack Around The Basics

  • Build a basic supplement stack around quality, tested essentials rather than flashy labels or forms that absorb poorly.
  • Rhonda Patrick favors vitamin D3, a multivitamin, omega-3, and liposomal glutathione over standard glutathione, while warning men to avoid iron unless deficient.
ADVICE

Give Creatine Long Enough To Actually Work

  • Use creatine monohydrate consistently for at least three to four weeks before judging whether it works.
  • Rhonda Patrick takes 10 grams for brain benefits, says muscles absorb the first 5 grams greedily, and recommends NSF-certified products over gummies.
INSIGHT

Why Urolithin A Stands Out For Aging

  • Rhonda Patrick is excited by urolithin A because it may rejuvenate mitochondria by triggering mitophagy, a cleanup process for damaged cellular energy machinery.
  • She says about half of people may not make enough from pomegranate-derived compounds and cites studies showing improved VO2 max, muscle strength, and immune markers.
