food is medicine, and it’s best to get your vitamins from food. But it’s also important not to eat too much food, so eat a good nutritious diet, not just high in calories.
Things that are common deficiencies:
vitamin D / vitamin K2 – take them together with food or olive oil or get 15 minutes of sunlight a day. longer if it’s winter or morning. avoid noon sun, too harsh.
vitamin C – studies show that if you take 1000 mg per day your brain works better
omega3 and omega6, best source is fish. fish oil doesn’t work great. Sardines is great.
magnesium – if your vitamin D level is low and supplementing it doesn’t work, then you probably have low magnesium levels.
NAD boosters – NR or NMN, important after about age 35.
Then there are a bunch of other molecules, like NAC or glutathione that probably do something but have more to do with anti-aging or aging more slowly and they’re so new that it’s hard to say yet.
But rapamycin is definitely on this list of things that could help you live longer.
