This post covers the changes I’ve made to the Peter Attia – Supplements article over time.
Nov 1, 2023 – Updated:
During Peter’s interview with Derek on MPMD he mentioned some updates, which I’ve listed below:
- The stack he’s taking for cardiovascular disease is now: Ezetimibe, Rapatha & Bempedoic acid
- He said he’s taking 300 mg of Solgar’s Ashwagandha, rather than 600 mg of Jarrow’s.
- He takes 1 – 3 mg of melatonin for jet lag scenarios.
- He’s taking 8 mg of rapamycin 1x per week. Had previously noted he was taking 6 mg 1x per week.
October 24, 2023 – Updated:
Peter uploaded a video on his supplement list. Based on this, I’ve:
- Added mention of B6 – 50 mg / 3x per week
- Updated the daily fish oil intake to approximately 2.5g of EPA and 1g of DHA, and added the brand / type.
- Added folate & B12 – 1 tablet per day of the specific brand he mentions.
- Added Pendulum Glucose Control probiotic.
October 1, 2023 – Updated:
- Added the prescription sleep supplements Peter uses; pregabalin and trazodone. Explaining a bit about how they work, and then covering what we know of why he uses them. Adding warnings around their use; such as interactions with health conditions and/or other drugs.
June 8, 2023 – Updated:
- Based on further research on Ashwagandha, I’ve updated the section to include info about the standardized extracts, such as KSM-66 and Sensoril. Also by deduction, it seems likely Peter opts for KSM-66.
April 23, 2023 – Updated:
- Added the section on “Maintaining Cognitive Function” – which mentions the supplements from AMA #46 that Peter and his team consider potentially useful for maintaining cognitive function as we age. Specifically curcumin, cocoa extract and Magnesium L-Threonate.
April 1, 2023 – Updated:
- Had been long time since a major update, and in this case I re-wrote the post entirely. List of key changes include:
- Using information from his more recent AMAs (36, 40, 42), I updated the list list of supplements he’s taking. It does still draw on some older AMAs such as 11 & 19.
- Removing the “history” of supplements Peter has taken. 95% of people only really care what he’s currently taking, and the post had grown overly long and verbose.
- There’s now a big focus on his magnesium supplementation; such that he’s taking multiple types and overall a lot of it. NIH guideline of magnesium for adults is 400 mg per day, and just his supplements alone are over that.
- Added in Glycine, Ashwagandha and L-Threonate for sleep.
- Added in protein powder, which he now takes daily to reach (the current) goal of 1 gram of protein per lb of bodyweight per day.
- Added in Athletic Greens, of which he’s an investor in.
Sept 7, 2022 – Updated:
- Updated the info on statins + PCSK9 inhibitors
Jan 31, 2022 – Updated:
- Added update on his rapamycin usage, around mid 2021 he switched from 8 weeks on, 6 weeks off, to taking it weekly with no breaks.
Nov 22, 2021 – Updated:
- Added audio clips related to his Rapamycin usage.
August 27, 2020 – Updated:
- Added recently mentioned specifics on Peter’s rapamycin usage (dose/frequency)
July 24, 2020 & Prior
- Updates were being made, but I wasn’t yet logging them here.
