Essential Supplements for Biohacking at Age 40: Recommendations and Health Considerations

Exploring key supplements for beginning a biohacking journey at age 40. Recommendations include Vitamin D with K2, B12, Vitamin C, collagen, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, and selenium, considering thyroid health and family history of high blood pressure and diabetes.

  • Hi,I have started reading about biohacking as I am growing older.I just turned 40, did not take any supplements till now-I am fairly active and the only known issue is a nodule in my thyroid and a family history of high BP and diabetes. What supplements are must have to get started-as per my research some are-Vit D with k2,B12 ,Vit C and collagen

  • Given your context of turning 40 and your specific health considerations, here are some supplement recommendations to get started on your biohacking journey:

    1. Vitamin D with K2:

      • Vitamin D is crucial for bone health, immune function, and overall well-being. It can also aid in thyroid function1.
      • K2 helps in the proper distribution of calcium, preventing it from depositing in arteries and instead directing it to bones where it's needed.

    2. Vitamin B12:

      • Vital for nerve function, red blood cell production, and energy metabolism. It’s especially important if your diet is low in animal products.

    3. Vitamin C:

      • An antioxidant that supports immune function, skin health, and aids in the absorption of iron from plant-based foods.

    4. Collagen:

      • Helps in maintaining skin elasticity, joint health, and may also contribute positively to your overall connective tissue health.

    Given your history of a thyroid nodule, family history of high blood pressure (BP), and diabetes, you might also consider:

    1. Magnesium:

      • Helpful for blood pressure regulation and overall cardiovascular health.

    2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

      • Known for their anti-inflammatory properties and ability to support heart health, which is particularly beneficial given your family history of high BP and diabetes.

    3. Selenium:

      • Important for thyroid function as it plays a role in the production and metabolism of thyroid hormones.

    Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen, especially if you have existing health conditions or a family history of specific diseases.
