The Supplements Navigator’s commitment is to collect and arrange insights and knowledge from health experts deemed trustworthy and reliable. The focus lies on professionals who strive for evidence-based or evidence-informed approaches, steering clear of overly experimental or sensational methods.

1) Experts Deemed Trustworthy
The supplments overview is mainly based on the statement of the following experts who consistently demonstrate a commitment to scientific rigor and balanced perspectives.
Dr. Peter Attia: Known for his deep dive into longevity, metabolic health, and the science of wellness, Peter follows a strict evidence-based / evidence-informed approach.

Dr. Brad Stanfield: A proponent of evidence-based medicine, particularly in the realm of anti-aging and health optimization.
His youtube channel is highly recommended for its accessible and easy-to-understand information about individual supplements
2) Experts Used as Inspiration
Some experts provide intriguing ideas and perspectives but may lack the depth of evidence required for full endorsement.
Bryan Johnson: An innovator and thinker who pushes the boundaries on longelivity, partially by relying on nutritional supplements. His Blueprint protocol encompasses a mix of on-label, off-label, and unlicensed therapies, as well as research-use-only tests.
The supplements navigator screens all supplements he uses but disregarded many of them for regular users.
Bryan makes plenty bold claims that he cannot (yet) substantiate. Still, his Project Blueprint is inspiring and worthwhile to follow with some healthy skepticism.
3) Experts Considered Too Experimental or Driven by Self-Interest
Caution and critical evaluation is needed with individuals who might lean heavily on sensationalism or are fully in the experimental sphere.
Dr. David Sinclair: While a notable figure in the anti-aging space, some of his approaches are viewed as too experimental for our criteria.
Instagram Influencers: Remain skeptical of health advice from social media influencers without proper credentials, who often lack formal expertise and can disseminate unverified or misleading information.
