What They Agree On

Both 罗大伦 (Luo Dalun) and Deepak Chopra include these 3 products in their protocols — a signal of strong evidence and broad expert consensus.

Green Tea (Matcha)

High-quality matcha green tea powder rich in EGCG catechins and L-theanine. Provides calm, sustained energy while delivering powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Regular green tea consumption is associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk and improved metabolic health in population studies.

foods

Turmeric / Curcumin

Turmeric extract standardized for curcumin content, a potent anti-inflammatory compound. Supports joint health, reduces chronic inflammation, and may protect against age-related cognitive decline. Best absorbed when paired with piperine (black pepper extract) or in a liposomal formulation.

supplements

Fermented Foods (Kimchi, Sauerkraut, Kefir)

Naturally fermented foods rich in live beneficial bacteria to support gut microbiome diversity. Regular consumption of kimchi, sauerkraut, and kefir has been shown to reduce markers of systemic inflammation. A Stanford study found fermented foods increased microbial diversity more effectively than a high-fiber diet.

Where They Differ

These products are unique to one protocol — reflecting each expert's distinct philosophy, research focus, and priorities.

罗大伦 (Luo Dalun)

Only in 罗大伦 (Luo Dalun)'s Protocol

Goji Berries (Lycium barbarum)

Dried berries from the Lycium barbarum plant, used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years to nourish the liver, kidneys, and eyes. Goji berries are exceptionally rich in zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, and unique polysaccharides (LBPs) studied for their immunomodulatory and anti-aging effects. Modern research connects regular consumption to improved antioxidant status, better sleep quality, and enhanced immune function in older adults.

Reishi Mushroom Extract (Ganoderma lucidum)

Dual-extracted Ganoderma lucidum mushroom, known as lingzhi in Chinese medicine and the 'mushroom of immortality' for its 2,000-year history in TCM longevity practice. Reishi's bioactive triterpenes and beta-glucans have been studied for immune modulation, stress adaptation, sleep quality improvement, and anti-tumor properties. Modern clinical evidence supports its use for calming the nervous system, enhancing natural killer cell activity, and supporting liver health.

Raw Honey

Raw, unprocessed honey retains its full spectrum of enzymes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial compounds that are destroyed by pasteurization. Used for thousands of years as both food and medicine, raw honey provides a whole-food source of glucose and fructose along with beneficial polyphenols and prebiotics that support gut health.

Bone Broth

Nutrient-dense broth made by simmering animal bones for extended periods. Rich in collagen, glycine, and minerals. Frequently recommended by Dr. Jason Fung as one of the best fasting aids — it provides electrolytes and a small amount of protein to ease hunger during extended fasts without significantly raising insulin.

Ceylon Cinnamon

Ceylon cinnamon, known as 'true cinnamon,' is a spice with research-supported blood sugar lowering properties. It may improve insulin sensitivity and help reduce fasting glucose levels. Dr. Jason Fung recommends cinnamon as a natural way to manage hunger during fasts — it adds flavor to beverages without stimulating insulin and may have protective metabolic effects.

Cordyceps Mushroom Extract

Concentrated cordyceps militaris mushroom extract standardized for cordycepin and adenosine content. Traditionally used to support endurance, oxygen utilization, and cellular energy production. Modern research suggests benefits for aerobic capacity and mitochondrial function.

Deepak Chopra

Only in Deepak Chopra's Protocol

Ashwagandha (KSM-66)

KSM-66 ashwagandha root extract, the most clinically studied form of this traditional adaptogenic herb. Supports healthy cortisol levels, reduces perceived stress, and may improve sleep quality and exercise recovery. Widely used in longevity protocols for its effects on hormonal balance and resilience to chronic stress.

Grass-Fed Ghee

Clarified butter from grass-fed cows, rich in butyric acid, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Ghee has a high smoke point making it ideal for cooking, and is free of casein and lactose. Valued in traditional medicine and modern longevity circles for its anti-inflammatory properties and gut health benefits.

Probiotics (Multi-Strain)

Multi-strain probiotic supplement containing diverse beneficial bacteria to support gut microbiome health. A balanced gut microbiome is linked to improved digestion, immune function, and mental well-being. Look for formulas with clinically studied strains and high CFU counts.

Omega-3 Fish Oil (High EPA)

High-potency omega-3 fish oil supplement with elevated EPA content. Supports cardiovascular health, reduces systemic inflammation, and promotes healthy brain function and mood regulation.

Magnesium (Threonate/Glycinate)

Highly bioavailable magnesium in threonate or glycinate form for superior absorption. Supports deep sleep quality, cognitive function, and nervous system relaxation. Magnesium threonate is particularly valued for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Vitamin D3 (5000 IU)

High-potency vitamin D3 supplement providing 5000 IU per serving to support optimal blood levels. Essential for immune function, bone health, and mood regulation. One of the most widely recommended supplements among longevity researchers due to widespread deficiency.

Mixed Berries (Blueberries, Blackberries)

Nutrient-dense berries packed with anthocyanins and polyphenols that support brain health and reduce oxidative stress. Blueberries in particular have been linked to improved memory and cognitive function in clinical studies. A low-glycemic fruit option ideal for daily consumption in longevity-focused diets.
