I was reading Lee Haney's website. He was discussing/offering supplements that I have not heard of before for anti-aging.
The supplements are the following:
Resveratrol
Ubiquinol
Vitamin D3
Does anyone have any info to provide about these?
Recommended dosages?
Recommendations to use or not use these products?
It sounds like they are various different forms of anti oxidants. I currently take Soleniem, a multi vitamin, A & E, and vitamin C.
We all want to age as slowly/well as we can.
Any input you have would be appreciated. Thanks.

60 Minutes did a report on resveratrol a while back.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/25/60minutes/main4752082.shtml
Vitamin D is kinda the hot new supplement for a lot of reasons. It seems to help with both test levels and cholesterol ratios to some degree. We are supposed to manufacture the Vitamin D we need from our exposure to the sun, but some folks don't get enough sun and there is a theory that the ability to synthesize sun into D is broken in about 70% of us. Just a theory, though ... I haven't seen any proof of that. I can tell you on a personal level that 2000 IUs of D daily increased my HDL (good) cholesterol.
Ubiquinol is supposedly the active form of Coenzme Q10 (CoQ10), which is shown to aid in cellular energy and cardiac function. It might be particularly important to people who have been prescribed statin drugs since statins tend to deplete CoQ10.

Isn't it funny that just a few years ago we were supposed to stay out of the sun rays for fear of skin cancer, now we hear that we should increase our exposure for the positive affects of Vitamin D?
Shows how we go full circle.
Of course if we bake our hides in the sun, it could cause cancer, but a fair dose every day is good for us.....that's one of the reason's God created the sun!

Ed Kellogg has written some excellent articles on the four levels/stages of aging, and offers several ways to stave it off.

Burr,
I've read his articles in Frank Zane's excellent "Building The Body" magazines. Of particular interest is....Optimizing Protein for Long Term Health, in the Summer 2006 issue, Four Levels of the Aging Process,Part 1, in the Winter 2006 issue,and Four Levels of the Aging Process, Part 2, in the Spring 2007 issue.
Over the past several years, I have taken this advice, and have felt much better for it. I think Dr. Kellogg is definitely onto something!

Jim, do you know the recommended dosage of resveratrol? There has been controversy as to human related dosages in relation to animal studies. I wonder if like other substances, if you drink red wine(a glass or two a day-my daily dosage) that there would be cumulative effects?

"300 gms of coq-10"
thats a lot of Q10. and it doesn't come cheaply. The recommended dose is 2-3 gms per kilogram of bodyweight.
I also posted a good link for the basic information on Vit D. But if you think Zane knows better, then so be it.
dosages recommended are in the 2-4,00 IU range. Higher if your blood work shows a deficiency.

I have given up looking for the secret formula for anti-aging. Every now and then something new is on the market and even scientists (or those you call themselves so) cannot agree on a few special supplements that really work. So my own conclusion is very, very basic and grounded on common sense: I try to eat good food, have my portion of fruits every day, drink a lot (but not too much) high quality water, don´t smoke, try to sleep 7 to 8 hours per day, drink only on the weekend (Ok, sometimes too much, but live is short...lol), workout regulary, intense but not to often, I try to avoid any injury, I do cardio, I keep my brain working (learing something new is key) and have my doctor make a checkup once a year. I expose myself to the sun sometimes, but not too often, but try to avoid a sunburn in any case. I use a quality facial and body care, also very basic. And that´s all. The rest is genetics. Plus a positive attitude towards life helps, too. Sorry, if my reply should be too long and bore somebody  .
