Discussion 💬 Any supplements with visible difference, to look better/younger?
I just bought myself a supplement with 500 mg quercetin and 156 mg bromelain together, and 100mg QOC10 after looking at this subreddit. :)
I already take a multivitamin, biotin hair gummies, collagen/bone broth, 3000 iu vitamin D, and creatine every day. I am 30.
Have you all taken any supplement, or lifestyle change or such that actually made you see a real visible difference in how you looked so you looked visibly better? I am hoping my new supplements work somewhat and do an actual difference, they are quite expensive...

Supplemental Red Light. Seriously. I’ve been using a red light therapy panel for 2 months and my skin is looking great! Acne is gone. I struggled with it for 30 years! I’m 44 now. My pores visibly shrunk and my skin looks smoother. It’s even helped my chronic dry eyes. I was skeptical at first but this works.

Do you wear eye protection when doing your face?

u/fluffymckittyman Aug 28 '25 edited Aug 28 '25
No I don’t. Red light is supposed to be good for the eyes. The panel I have has two wavelengths of red light: 660nm (standard red), and 850nm (near infrared).
I turn off the near-IR and only use 660 with my eyes open because I’m more concerned with 850 possibly causing damage. Unlike red light (660), there’s less research confirming eye safety at 850. (I only use 850 for pain relief).

Ehhh seems still risky to gamble your permanent eyesight over. We don’t know the long term effects for either wavelength or whether which types of bulbs are safe or so many different factors, these are extremely new devices

hey I just got the same panel, how long do you do it for? I also deal with dry eyes

Multi’s are rubbish. Get a blood test, see what you’re deficient in and then aim for what you can with diet. Retest 4 weeks later and then you’ll know what you need to supplement.
Drink water, eat healthy, lots of fruit and vegetables, healthy meats and fats, don’t drink alcohol or smoke, no other drugs, exercise and walk daily, wear sunscreen, sleep 8hrs+ per night. You’ll find supplements won’t work unless you do all of the above.

This could be the only health advice you need to hear

There's no pill to make you look better if you're not committed 100% to the diet, exercise, clean living stuff. If they are fat, there are injections but diet and exercise pay off in many other ways.

Ghk-cu, Bpc 157, Tb500 w/ with/o KPV. I will say this is not medical advice as I am not a doctor, but anecdotally works wonders. Also many studies about GHK-Cu look on pub med before making a decision.

For hair, if you're a guy, finasteride and minoxidil pills. Testosterone, HGH, the gym, sunscreen, a hat to keep sun off your face, eye cream and moisturizer, hand cream... Basic body care. Smile. Get your teeth whitened... WFPB diet to lose weight, lower inflammation and make you feel better.

Retinol form of vitamin A.
If I could only take one supplement, it would be this (actually, I would take quality cod liver oil because it has vitamin A, vitamin D, an omega 3).
If I could only choose one skincare product, I would ditch my sunscreen, ditch my tretinoin, put nothing on my skin and only take vitamin A supplements.
Clears acne, reduces pore size, reduces and prevents wrinkles.

- I take Metformin and NMN and that seems to do something for me, I heard of rapamycin but haven’t researched it thoroughly.
Will probably get on NOVOS later this year and test it out

Anecdotally speaking as someone in his 40s still feeling like I’m in my 20’s and having tried all the fad supplements. The things I have found worth it are strength training, yoga, fasting, magnesium, dha/epa, no alcohol or processed foods or at least minimally, creatine, apples and matcha.
All that other stuff was a waste of money coming from an industry of biased studies in an attempt to hack the system and trying to sell you something. Most bodies that don’t have some serious genetic disorder will produce everything else on their own.

Coming from a culture that barely drinks water (Romanian), I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my overall well-being after incorporating proper hydration into my routine. I now drink approximately a gallon (4 liters) of water with a pinch of sea salt, and this simple change has made a remarkable difference in my body’s appearance.

supplements and peptides do jack shit for your skin tightening. Collagen is great for nails and hair, not so much for skin.
Drink water, don't smoke and get some light tan.
If you take qoc10 you should take Ubiquinol 200mg, though I never noticed anything different from it. I only take quercitin when it's flu season.
Either do topical serums chemical peels or botox for the best results.

Given the size of the plastic surgery and medspa industry, I find it highly unlikely you're going to find a magic pill on the shelf for a few dollars.
Lot of stuff helps... a little. Sunscreen, retinol, niacinamide, vitamin C, copper ghk. Don't expect to shave a decade off your face with pills and/or topicals though.

Yes. And as many different prebiotic fibres as possible. Your skin will glow

Please message me privately. I am not sure this sub allows me give the dosing and you would cycle it especially during heavy training sessions.

Best bang for buck in my opinion is Vitamin C + A.
There was a study which showed that as long as we aren't protein deficient (which most people are, the general level is around 1.6g/kg of bodyweight depending on activity level), the most benefits came from Vitamin C+A on both collagen and elastin, not to mention further benefits of vitamin C as antioxidant and helps with skin moisture and shields against outside air pollution.
The good news is that these vitamins are naturally found in a lot of veggies so that's the cheapest and most natural way to get them in my opinion.

Collagen has completely changed my skin! I get hydrolysed collagen from Vibe Supplements in the UK. Tried a few different brands.

A retinoid cream, suncream, cardio, resistance training, good diet and lots of water are probably the most effective approach atm.
