Dr Peter Attia - Top 5 Supplements Everyone Should Be Taking 

Hi Chris, I will start by saying I am a fan of your show, you and what you stand for. But, if we mere mortals buy into everything the price is through the rooof. Granted there's a discount but is there any chance you can recommend supplements for the average Joe who earns 35k a year. A months supply of your faves is way over 250 per month. We all can't afford this.

"Savages"? I got called "Primal" some time ago. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me 😛

😊

I wonder why Vitamin D3 was not mentioned. Imo it's worth talking about since most people have insufficient levels due to the lack of sun exposure.

😊😊😊😊

Better to get your magnesium naturally: bananas, nuts, dark chocolate, avocados, fatty fish, leafy greens. If you eat a healthy balanced diet, you don't need supplements like this.

​@@ChewieOnTwoWheels plant-based magnesium is often poorly absorbed to fiber and phytates

@@ChewieOnTwoWheels Disagree. I had a good diet but it wasn't until I supplemented with magnesium that I cured my asthma. I'm guessing depleted soils or drinking water lacking in minerals. Whatever, cheap magnesium oxide worked overnight.

Not really tho. Low levels, u should get both like duhh. But good to add magnesium glycinate for example​@@ChewieOnTwoWheels

@@ChewieOnTwoWheelscitation?

There's studies now that show 5g creatine to be overkill, 3g actually gets same benefits whilst being more easily absorbed. As a result the scoops in many creatine mono tubs now include a 3g scoop size.

Thanks for sharing the Magnesium variants, I was missing how these are spelt.

Thank you

TLDR: doing God's work

@@gkirkbride5565anything extra you pee out.

Exactly! I noticed this happened to Peter in another podcast. He is showing some symptoms of cognition decline already.

the fact he can't remember what he takes in aggregate is funny / odd. not that hard to remember. or he has some assistant doing it for him. same deal w/ bryan johnson - you get the feeling he's not totally synced in w/ what he's taking or why. surface level he's tuned in but beyond that it gets a little loose. not an issue. whatever.

@@leafinwind99how in the world can you say dementia is already on the way lmao maybe he was just a little nervous or something

@@leafinwind99That isn't dementia at all, lol. I would 100% do this due to my ADHD.

Thought I was the only one that thought it was strange

Your golf swings would be so much better if you got off that protocol. Try it!

🤣

crucially though, do not combine in the blender with banana as the browning of the banana destroys the flavanols in the fruit loops

Thanks man I'll need to stock up. I'll look forward to the benefits 🙏🏼

Oreos are the key to happiness.

Grape or Orange? Or 1 of each? 😎👍

Wiiillllmmmmaaaa!

Red is the best

Yum!

I only eat Betty. Much to Barney's consternation.

if you add in a UVB lights its even better

lol I live in the opposite climate, where I can't go in the sun for 30 seconds because it burns...even at 7am in the morning. So I stay out of it and take the supplements...but I still get burnt when I have to go out in the sun and am not in the mood to smother my face with sunscreen, because I hate the feel of it and having to remove it. Grass is not greener, just a different colour my friend! 🙂

@@VFNVFNVFNwhere do you live? Venus?😂

Same here.. love being outside on nice days but slopping that greasy crap all over me is off-putting.. I tend to go out after the dangerous times of sun strength or cover up with spf clothing. I've tried at least 30 different brands of sunscreen too.. one of the better ones is anthelios invisible 50+ It's still a bit greasy I intially When applying but rapidly beco es unnoticeable in terms of feel and appearance.. not cheap though but better than burning or skin cancer.. give it a try if u can get it. Washes off ok too and is not Tooooo bad as far as staining your clothes collars and cuffs, which is another thing I hate about suncreen.

​@@jeffdoyleI lived in Oman and this fits that description

Diet is major too! If you're on an high inflammation kind of diet(sugar, seed oils, allergies, ECT) and not putting the necessary foods and supplements in your body to recover, injury is definitely a high possibility. I feel like an 80 year old man on inflammation diet and have thrown my back out just simply standing up from the couch. Definitely sucked and put me out of commission for a few weeks but when I'm on a good diet(healthy keto for me with IF) my body feels prime and overall body movement smooth and efficient like a well oiled machine.

Thank u friend for creating time stamps 👏 👏

Or theanine

He probably believes you should be outside more.

And iodine!

Iron and vitamin D are the 2 most common deficiencies.

Yes but one of those skews heavily female ​@vcuheel1464

lol.

???? this is a real set

its not a green screen it's a huge screen

i clicked on this video just to glance at the comments and see the 5 supplements but then i had to watch a little bc of your comment lol

BINGO

What form of Mg do you take?

@@almaburns6562 I do a capsule of magnesium citrate in the am and I take one serving (2 capsules) of magnesium glycinate before bed. Citrate helps keep me regular 💩 and glycinate helps sleep. Theyve worked great for me. There's also a bit of magnesium in the electrolytes I take daily for hydration

It's definitely essential for us folks living in Northern Europe!

Magnesium is important too for vitamin d absorption

@@Montezuma0 he already mentioned magnesium. I added D and K2 because he left those two out for some odd reason

Also a sprinter in high school but now 66, 160 lbs. Thirty-five years of office work and couch potato. Hired a sprint coach and have been so terrified of Achilles injury, I've been moving VERY slowly for a year now. No Achilles injury but numerous setbacks everywhere else...hamstrings, knees, feet, lower back...no fun getting old.

@@astroAl76knees over toes guy

@@astroAl76you’d still be more physically fit than most 20 year olds nowadays. Chin up. You’ve got many more years of suffering on this earth with us than you think 🤪

@@mrme123music Thanks! Know all about him!

@@wideningcarrot6 Thanks! We'll see!

may i know what type of magnesium?

What type dude?

Magnesium boosts melatonin production

Always with cocaine for slow absorption. 😂

University of Science.

I only believe in science

I put my faith in The Science ™.

​@@esmiralda4592Also Inject some Morphine to keep the gains permanently.

Pretty sure he doesn’t want to mate with you

@@martinlutherkingjr.5582 lol

All these supplements puts stress on your liver. Reduce them

Very similar for me.

@@toure7 Where do you find that data?

@@toure7 Actually the NAC, magnesium, b complex and taurine help cleanse the liver. Also once every few weeks I take milk thistle for two days

@@chadcollins6068Do they help? How much have they changed your life?

Plus moringa

He forgot.

He knows very little, he takes magnesium oxide, thats all you need to know to ascertain his minimal research in the matter. These people are not "experts" they're podcast bro's. Even the "experts" are almost always clueless shills. You have to do your own research, and if you do in 1 week you'll learn more than this guy knows about health.

@@gitsurfer27

Not to mention collagen supplementation!

It's probably just quite a few capsules to get 5g. But could also encapsulate yourself

@@Rocko1990 I do 2 before the gym and 2 after, the capsules are a little bigger than most--they hold about 750mg each. I get plenty of creatine from other food sources throughout the day so it's just to cover my bases with it. Making my own capsules is quite annoying busy work for me and I just don't have the tim, used to make them with other things in the past though.

Why did Attia recommend creatine, for what purpose?

Berberine is better than metformin

Yes. Agree. Always heard oxide was junk. Surprised he takes it.

Agree 🙌

Threonate

​@@overcomer4226 Me too, never heard another health guru suggest the oxide form. Makes me question him, frankly.

Good form but it does contribute to oxalate formation for those on low oxalate diet...I like a blend of malate glycinate and citrate...which help bowl movements and helps mitigate oxalates as Citrate are good for this..potassium and calcium citrate...great at bedtime

The brain is made mostly of the same fats as fish oil

exactly what i thought ... very surprised

Why not take both?

@@Nades_ Why waste your money on Magnesium Oxide when you know it has poor absorption

Costco has a good price on magnesium glycinate even when not on sale.

​@@swapnilraj5639I've seen him recommend it before he's not really against it ,its probably that its just more accessible because glycinate usually cost more

That is insanity, lol. Cleanses are not a thing.

"cleanse" is one of those buzzwords that if your trainer tells you about you should run ASAP 🤣

@@BrofUJui did a 10 day cleanse and it was the best thing i ever did in my life

@@fmcdomer cool. It's probably because you stopped eating bad food, or it was placebo. Not eating for 10 days is a horrible idea

@BrofUJu Jesus didn't eat for awhile as well

I work outside everyday for hours in Florida and still my Vitamin D isn’t that’s great.

Vitamin D supplementation depletes magnesium

@@Lieutenant-DanHigh doses do, not the normal amount that you would take. Please educate yourself.

@@IssaMeZane magnesium is essential in the metabolism of D3 and yes, it may not cause an issue with a lot of people at lower doses but a lot of people are already deficient in magnesium. My point is that people shouldn't just start popping vitamins, they can cause further imbalances and do more harm than good. I've done my research thank you very much.

@@Lieutenant-Dan Thanks mate, I study this, I understand you have done your research but - You don't necessarily need to undergo a blood test just to determine if you should take supplements like vitamin D, magnesium, or omega-3s, especially if you're using them for common issues like cramps or sleep. These supplements are often safe for the average person to take without specific testing, as they're generally considered beneficial for overall health. However, if you have specific concerns or conditions that may affect your nutrient levels, consulting a healthcare professional can help you make informed decisions about supplementation. Otherwise, incorporating these supplements into your routine based on common needs or preferences is generally sufficient.

He really can't do that, for 2 reasons. 1. There's not much good medical research on most of these supplements studying the efficacy and possible side effects at different dosages. The ideal dosage also depends on many factors such as weight, age, metabolism, etc. 2. If he gave specifics he'd be legally liable if somebody had negative effects at the amount he recommended.

Tummy 😂😂😂

If you have AGA gene you'll find it out sooner with the 20 gram dose.

I remember hearing 10g loading 1-2g surfing (even without the IBS) from ye olden days, do I misremember something, new science, healthmaxxing/inflation?

25% of people are non-responders to creatine supplementation…

⁠@@MajkaSrajkaback in 2018 I think the max recommended cruise was 5mg daily… that’s what I took at least

My friends husband has just been told by his Dr to take folic acid. GP's really don't have clue.

They didn't really do anything for mine. And I have one copy of the A1298c MTHFR gene mutation

What’s wrong w folic acid?

@@veneta72 it's the artificial version of folate and many people cannot break it down

@@Rocko1990 I have C667T, both. Don't know if it's different. But I went from four times the maximum recommended homocysteine levels, to within the normal range

I would say you only really need vitamin D in the winter in most parts of the states at least and during cloudy days. If you get outside and move or if you work outside you don’t really need the supplement. If you’re in somewhere like the UK where you get like a sunny day a year than you probably need it.

​@@mattpolinsky4234😂

@@mattpolinsky4234 the only way your skin creates the correct amount of vitamin D is if you are a day laborer out in the sun ALL day. Anyone who works indoors needs to supplement in some way. That said, your food might be enough supplementation on its own depending on your diet to meet your needs. The thing is that the effects are brutal when you are low on vitamin D to the point where it's safer to just take it year round. Plus, one of the omega supplements they mentioned Nordic Naturals (and I'm sure many others) has a version that contains D which is nice since it's fat soluble and makes it easier to just take all the time.

​@@mattpolinsky4234Optimal levels are different from bare minimum levels.

7 Trenbolone

Try Sherlock Holmes' memory palace.

He’s forgotten more than you’ll ever know…

Cognitive doesn’t just mean memory or else they’d just say that

It's on purpose. He doesn't want to get into brands

No it's no he couldn't even remember he took omega 3s lol he doesn't remember the differences in Omega 3 forms which is a simple chemistry so clearly his particular cocktail isn't working ​@@rand_longevity

the conversation is about which supplements Peter takes - he probably doesn’t need to supplement D3. They’re not talking about recommendations for people in general.

@@enjoyeverysandwich1117 The title is misleading then mate ("The 5 Crucial Supplements Everyone Should Be Taking")

With K2. Iodine also very important.

He forgot it. He does take it with K2 as mentioned in earlier video on his channel.

@@Iamhim-j6h Many people don't live in regions where you can do that more than a few days a year.

@@Iamhim-j6h That depends on where you live. If too far north, you can stay outside all day and not produce much vitamin D.

​@@marct9587it also depends on your lifestyle. I reccomend it to all my patients who are mostly indoors which is most people

He will have dementia for sure when he gets older.

Send a link of this video to Joe Biden! Or better: don't..!

I think thats the point of the preamble at the beginning right? he's fully aware that his statements and certainly his own regiment is not going to be optimal for a large group of people. Also, he hosts hour long podcasts on these various topics where they do deep dives into the current literature. I don't think its a bad thing to change as the science and evidence changes. Before he was a big proponent of fasting, low carb, keto etc. I'd rather that then someone who chooses a hill to die on regardless of new research that may challenge that belief.

Bingo. Totally agree.

Apparently Omega-3's are only helpful for ppl with heart problems already. I've started ALA since I don't eat fish and have high VLDL & triglycerides and it's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

Flintstones for me.

@@skeptigal4626😂😂😂 who’s your favorite flavor? I’m partial to Fred.

Apparently long back they drank a lot of groundwater with all the minerals still in. Now water is ultra purified. Creatine in beef etc. No refined foods. Moved around a bit more. Fasted more...usually involuntarily.😁 So basically life has evolved.

Because most of them had a much healthier diet & lifestyle....the modern American diet is the worst on the planet with overly processed foods, too much sugar & simple carbs & produce grown in depleted soil lacking nutrients....supplements are needed because of these.

Yes, amazing comeback. Didn't he win the last event? Last season, nobody could keep up with him over the whoops.

400? Jesus

Why 400 grams unless you were really big all those proteins were useless. Your body used what he wanted to regardless of how much you were taking

HAHA I was looking for this comment. Is it RDR2?

There’s more than 4 types too.

Probably too much weed??

Likely because he’s doing blood draws and tweaking things all the time.

low absorbtion..😅

Low dose vitamin c 500mg 3-4 x times a day

Moringa - better than multi vits, pomegranate capsules - better than turmeric. Otherwise cool

Turmeric helped me with my joint pains!

Surely alot of supplements out there are placebo. However most, if not all of what is mentioned here, has double blind studies done with a placebo group involved to make sure they are truly effective.

Legumes are in the nightshade family and cause digestive issues for a lot of people. Leafy greens are loaded with oxalates and consuming too much can fuck up your kidneys. There’s nothing wrong with supplementing…

Exactly. Supplements shouldn't be necessary.

Only if you grow it yourself or have the possibility to go full organic.

Depends on what "actual food" means to you. Even farm grown tends to be mass produced and lacks nutrients due to overproduction. And if you compare the taste of home grown veggies to a good deal of supermarket produce, you can ABSOLUTELY tell the difference. But the more important question is: When we live in a time with better supply chain access to any and EVERY type of food or supplemented nutrient possibly available from literally EVERYWHERE in the world, why would you NOT utilize that access? This isn't the time in history where you could have gone your entire life having never even heard of a pomegranate. You can go to basically any store and buy one. Or if you don't care for sucking seeds for healthy juice, you can Amazon order a supplement that has all the health benefits of doing that sent directly to you. That logic applies to everything. You have more access to international foods, spices, herbs, and all goods than any king who lived before you. And most people just want to eat McDonald's and maybe take a multivitamin now and then...

Huge money making racket. Just eat your greens 😁

If all you eat is their beef sticks and Huel you need these supplements.

Maybe that’s why he can’t remember what supplements he’s taking 😉😉
