Only in Peter Attia's Protocol
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.
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.
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.
Creatine Monohydrate
Pure creatine monohydrate, one of the most well-researched supplements in sports science. Supports muscle strength, power output, and emerging research suggests cognitive benefits. Safe for long-term daily use at 3-5 grams per day.
Electrolyte Mix
Balanced electrolyte mix containing sodium, potassium, and magnesium to support hydration and cellular function. Essential for maintaining energy levels, muscle function, and cognitive performance, especially during fasting or exercise. Sugar-free formulas are preferred in longevity protocols.
