Longevity doctors are scrambling to get patients to stop taking flashy, expensive supplements
Briefly

Dr. Andrea Maier emphasizes the importance of diagnosis before taking supplements: "In our clinic, we are de-prescribing...what somebody needs, and that might differ." This highlights the necessity of personalized approaches to supplementation rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Dr. Evelyne Bischof warns against the misconception that more supplements lead to better health: "People think that more helps more, and it's not the case. There are interactions, there are side effects.
The surge in online marketing has led to an increase in the consumption of longevity supplements, raising concerns among doctors like Bischof, who note that "the trend toward overdoing it has been supercharged in recent years by more aggressive...marketing of longevity supplements."
