On the plan · You and your clinician have decided on it

Omega-3 fatty acids

No prescription

Fish and algae oils (EPA and DHA) taken for heart and brain health.

Questions for a clinician
  • Do my triglycerides or diet suggest I would benefit?
  • Is it safe with my blood thinner or heart rhythm history?

Vitamin D

No prescription

An essential vitamin for bones and muscles; worth testing before you supplement.

Questions for a clinician
  • Should I check my vitamin D level first?
  • Are my other medications a concern?

Considering · Worth a conversation

Creatine monohydrate

No prescription

The most researched sports supplement, for strength and power; brain effects are being studied.

Questions for a clinician
  • Is creatine safe with my kidney function?
  • Should I pause it before blood tests?

Just researching · Reading up, nothing decided

NAD+

Compounded prescription

A coenzyme every cell uses for energy; offered as IV drips and injections at longevity clinics.

“Popular, but ask what the evidence actually shows.”

Questions for a clinician
  • What result would we measure to know if this is doing anything?
  • Which pharmacy prepares it, and is it a licensed 503A or 503B facility?
  • Would an oral precursor make more sense than IV?

Rapamycin

Prescription

A transplant drug some clinicians prescribe off-label for longevity. Human aging data are early.

“Off-label; needs monitoring.”

Questions for a clinician
  • What monitoring (labs, infections) would we do?
  • How would we judge whether it is helping?
  • Do any of my medications interact with it?

Epitalon

Research only

A four-amino-acid peptide marketed for aging and sleep. Limited research, not an approved drug.

“Research only. Listed so you know why we will not prescribe it.”

Questions for a clinician
  • What evidence-based options exist for my sleep or aging goals?
  • If FDA finalizes a compounding route, would it be appropriate for me?
