Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Gavin Joyner. gavinjoyner@gmail.com. “What supplements or nootropics do you take now? I’m taking four 4-chloro Modafinil and Phosphatidylserine at the moment. A few here and there but I want your take on what should or shouldn’t I be taking. The reason why I ask is because you yourself take 38 pills or at least had.”
Rick Rosner: Yeah, so I kind of got less committed to my supplements after I got cancer four years ago. It didn’t stop me from getting cancer but I still take dozens of supplements a day but I’ve kind of forgotten what each is for. I got rid of some like SODzyme didn’t seem like a good idea if you’ve had cancer. And Astragalus seems not great and certainly no more Methylene Blue whatsoever. I started with Fisetin which is a senolytic. I’m 63 and a senolytic is an agent that helps your body clear crappy old cells, one reason that old people are so old and crappy is because they’re full of bad old cells that should have been cleared away. Fisetin helps you do that and it also helps prevent lot of different kinds of cancers.I know it does something because it helped me not get up multiple times in the night to pee. So it probably cleaned out my prostate a little bit. I too take Phosphatidylserine. I take a mix from Life Extension called Cognitex. The only brain drug that I know for sure works is coffee because it stops me from falling asleep at 3 pm. I take fish oils and just the whole general kind of regimen, not necessarily for my brain though there is some brain stuff in there, like Carnosine, Acetylcysteine, Alpha lipoic acid, Benfotiamine. If you Google me and look at the list besides the ones I say, I know I just said I no longer take, I’m more or less taking everything else. Though, I’m down to 140. It gave me irritable bowel syndrome. So I’m a very slender guy now, so I figure I don’t have to take some of these expensive ass pills every day because it doesn’t take as many pills to do what pills are supposed to do.
