Sounds expensive, wow!
Don’t mind me nowhere near your intelligence bracket, but if you would like to hear what I have to say, read on:
Just out of curiosity, why would you take a gamble like that (It’s clear you know a lot about chemistry. Are you a chemist? Is this how you know this stuff won’t harm you?) I mean how do you that stuff won’t make your face peal off? Sure they are healthy supplements, but do you know enough about how all those drugs will interact with one another? Also where did you learn this stuff? Google? It may be on google but that doesn’t make it true. Somebody could be trying to kill you. So don’t gamble, you might die, right?I’m just asking because I want to learn more about you , your regime, and everyone’s regime on here for that matter. I just want to learn from you and others here about this awesome subject.

Hey LLTNF
Nice to see so much curiosity and criticism.
1. How do you know stuff won't harm you?
- Well, you can Google it. And yes, just because some random website makes a claim, that doesn't make it true. But there are websites that are managed by scientists and government agencies.
And if you really want to make sure that you're at the source, I recommend reading reviews and scientific papers yourself. They're hard to read in the beginning, but after 10 or so papers, you will get used to the language and terms used.
2. I mean how do you that stuff won’t make your face peal off?
- Medical pills are certified by national administrations. Which means they would have to have gone through clinical trials and be accepted critical review by a board of scientists. So you can be fairly sure that a medical pill doesn't melt your face off. As long as you consult the attachment sheets with side effects and dosages etc., you should be fine.
But as another general rule: You should not take supplements of which you are not lacking. I.e. taking Vitamin E if you're not lacking any can have serious adverse effects. Less so for water soluble Vitamins, like D and Bs.
- Nutrition supplements are a little bit harder, though they more often use harmless ingredients. Nutrition supplements don't need to be reviewed by an administration and boards of scientists. So there you will have to do your own research. Check out what is inside the supplement and check online what the adverse side effects are, if it is even bioavailable in that form, etc.
3. Sure they are healthy supplements, but do you know enough about how all those drugs will interact with one another?
- Health supplements are not the same as drugs. Nutrition supplements, like vitamins, minerals, etc. are also found in regular food. It can happen that some supplements are less bioavailable when taken with other supplements. But that shouldn't have any adverse effects on your body.
- If you're taking medical supplements (like metformin, fisetin, etc.), you will have to do some research about drug interactions or you can consult a specialist if you know any.
4. Also where did you learn this stuff? Google?
- Google, pubmed, webofscience, reddit, google scholar, etc.
- Textbooks, lectures, M.O.O.C.s, etc.
- Conferences, webinar series'
- Talking with people who have read up on it
5. Somebody could be trying to kill you.
- You would have to find some seriously weird website for that to happen. What pops up on Google first are most visited websites and promoted websites. And a dude who is out to kill some random people probably won't invest so much money to have his website "EatThisAndYouWillLiveForever" promoted to the top of Google search for the term "how to live forever".
6. So don’t gamble, you might die, right?
- Nah, probably not. You would realize soon enough that what you are eating is not doing you any good. Then you will have to stop taking these supplements and maybe visit a doc.
Best and safest things you can do to stay healthy for as long as possible are eating colorful plates of food (= a healthy and large variety of foods), exercise and social interactions.
Second best is to check out your blood values for various Vitamins and micronutrients and then supplement on those. And then retest after 6-12 months to see if it had any effect.
Third best is to read online certified websites and published scientific articles and discuss your findings with peers and then go from there.
