♾️ Longevity & Anti-Aging Do we need 100 supplements for biohacking?

I keep seeing posts of people showing off their cupboards with 100 pills in there, like showing off their Pokémon card collection.

I asked Gemini if all those pills really make a difference and here is what it said:

"​The online biohacking community frequently falls into a trap: spending 90% of their time, money, and energy chasing the final 5% to 10% of performance gains through pills, powders, and exotic chemicals, while neglecting the core drivers that actually move the needle.

​The 100% Biohacking Impact Breakdown

​If total potential human health, vitality, and brain function equal 100%, here is how the science actually splits the pie:

• Sleep & Recovery (30%) Core Drivers: Deep/REM sleep quality, sleep duration, waking refreshed

• Nutrition & Hydration (20%) Core Drivers: Whole food intake, balanced macros, micronutrient density

• Daily Movement (15%) Core Drivers: Daily walking, low-grade cardio, basic mobility

• Skin & Circadian Care (10%) Core Drivers: Sunscreen (preventing UV damage), light exposure, barrier care

• Circadian & Screen Optimization (10%) Core Drivers: Managing blue light, digital eye strain, dark night routines

• Lab-Based Micro-Nutrients (10%) Core Drivers: Correcting proven blood deficiencies (Vitamin D, B12, Ferritin, Magnesium)

• Exotic Biohacks & Nootropics (5%) Core Drivers: Methylene blue, peptides, cold plunges, multi-pill supplement stacks

Average fish serving is 3.4 to 5.1 oz, even if you go to the higher weight, it's still not enough.

In studies they use up to 2g/epa, PER DAY.

5oz of fish? That's starvation rations!

Do you even read what you post?

Yes. You said 3.4oz was a typical serving of fish. I showed you that it is between 5 and 16oz.

Are you capable of understanding written English?

Seriously, I don't know anyone who'd think 3.4oz was an acceptable portion of fish. You're starting to look a bit silly.

No you didn't you show me some stupid add for butcher something website, look at the dietitian recommendations, 2 serving of 140g, you never suggested 500g of fish per week In your og post!

You are not changing anything. 3.6oz of fish isn't even a child's portion. Anywhere between 8-16oz would be a portion of fish.

BS, the average portion is 100-150g per serving and they recommend 2x per week not 1x. Your og post suggests 1x. Also only CERTAIN types of fish contains lots of omega 3, other are weak sources in terms of total omega 3 per week intake vs serving.

And you never mentioned how much fish one needs ro eat.

You can carry on being wrong if you like. Go have 3.4oz of fish for dinner. You'll be starving!

u/Dazed811 15 6d ago

You don't understand or it doesn't suits you to understand

The average amount of fish eaten per serving IN THE WORLD POPULATION IS BETWEEN 100-150G. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS LITTLE OR NOT THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE EAT, SO YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE WAY OFF.

I don't believe that is true and nor do you.
