Links to Supplements Roc Takes
Roc was born in 1948, BMI 24, in excellent physical shape and health, ran the Chicago Triathlon in 2021.
Below is a list of supplements Roc takes. After age 40 for men or menopause for women, our metabolic changes are often similar, so I suggest reviewing my choices below with a physician who is open minded about the value of supplements. For other ages and genders, see information here. At this link are choices other people have made.

*These are the products I use, most based on cost, convenience, and reputation. I get $1 for each Mito-C and Triumph bottle sold.
**I used to take Genistein and alpha-ketoglutarate together at night, but the combination gave me indigestion. Since taurine and alpha-KG both reduce the risk for sarcopenia, I take them in the morning now.
*** Note these cost more as they have multiple ingredients
