Aging is a natural process that affects everyone, but there are ways to slow down its effects on our skin, hair, and joints. Supplements like Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Protein, Creatine, and Minoxidil can help maintain a youthful appearance and improve overall health. Here's a detailed look at some supplements which can slow the outward signs of Aging.
Collagen
Collagen is a protein that provides structure to your skin, hair, and joints. As we age, our body's natural collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and joint pain. Marine Collagen, derived from fish scales, is more bioavailable than bovine collagen, making it a superior choice.
Product: MentalFuel Marine Collagen Powder - 360 g Pure Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides Powder, Fish Collagen Peptides Powder Unflavoured, Sustainable
Benefits: Marine Collagen is more bioavailable than bovine collagen, especially when derived from fish scales. It also contains Hydroxy Proline, which stimulates the production of Hyaluronic Acid, enhancing skin hydration and elasticity.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is essential for skin hydration and joint lubrication. It helps retain moisture, keeping your skin plump and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Combining Hyaluronic Acid with Vitamin C boosts collagen production, enhancing its benefits.
Product: Nutridom Hyaluronic Acid 200mg with Vitamin C 150mg, All Natural, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, and Soy-free (60 Count)
Benefits: This hyaluronic acid contains Vitamin C, an essential co-factor for the production of Hyaluronic Acid and collagen within the skin.
Creatine
Creatine is not only beneficial for muscle energy production but also for cognitive function. It has been shown to improve brain function across different age groups, from adolescents to the elderly.
Product: CONFIDENT SPORTS - Creatine Monohydrate Powder – 100% Pure Micronized Creatine Monohydrate - Pharmaceutical Grade - 450 Gram - 90 Servings
Benefits: Enhances muscle energy production and cognitive function.
Product: CONFIDENT SPORTS - Creatine Powder - 100% Ultra-Pure Micronized Creatine Monohydrate - Pharmaceutical Grade Creatine – 125 Gram – 25 Servings
Benefits: Improves muscle strength and cognitive performance.
Protein
Those who wish to supplement protein can do so using Vegan protein powder. I prefer Plant based proteins over Mammalian Proteins as they are less inflammatory than Lactose based proteins and would aid in recovery. A relatively higher amount would be required however when choosing Vegan proteins over Animal based ones.
Chocolate
Plant Based All-In-One Protein Powder - Chocolate
Benefits: Similar to the vanilla variant, this chocolate-flavored protein powder provides a nutritious meal replacement option, enriched with greens and probiotics.

Omega-3 Fatty Acid
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and support joint health. In order to reduce chronic inflammation related to age-related degenerative diseases, consider adding anti-inflammatory Omega-3 supplements, particularly if suffering from conditions such as arthritis or degenerative disc disease.
Product: Vitasave Omega-3 Fish Oil Supplement [120 Softgels] - High Potency - Burpless - 3000mg Fish Oil, 900mg EPA, 600mg DHA

Minoxidil 5 % hair serum
Hair thinning and male pattern baldness become increasingly common in older men and post-menopausal women. The most evidence-based scalp lotion to reverse this is 5% Minoxidil. Be sure to wash hands carefully after use, as hair growth can occur in unintended parts of the skin if hands are not washed thoroughly. Note that 2.5 % serum is often marketed for women but the scientific evidence favours that both genders should use the 5 % serum.

Rosemary Oil
Rosemary Oil has been shown in one study to be as effective half dose Minoxidil (2.5%) and along with Biotin can be considered as an add on to full dose Minoxidil 5 %
Biotin Shampoo & Conditioner
While the scientific evidence for efficary of oral biotin is scant ( and it can interfere with thyroid function test results ) this can be used safely in topical form such as shampoo and conditioner.
