Precis is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or by any researcher, show or publisher we quote. We take no sponsorship, ad or affiliate money, and every verdict is our own review of what was said. How we stay independent

Want the exact dosages, forms, and timing?

This tier list is free. A free account opens the dose ranges, forms (glycinate or threonate, for example) and timing for every supplement above.

How each verdict is worked out

Strong consensus
At least 4 counted mentions, at least 3 sources on the leading side, and no more than 15% on the other side. A mention that only partly agrees does not count toward it.
Leaning
One side leads, but short of strong consensus. A mention that partly agrees counts as half a vote.
Mixed
Neither side leads.
Conflicting
At least 25% of counted mentions are positive and at least 25% are negative.
Not enough evidence
Fewer than 3 counted mentions, all of them from one source, or too few that take a side.

Prescription drugs (rapamycin, metformin) and protocols (fasting, sauna, cold exposure, zone 2) are left out of this list.

How this is built: Built from 3,700+ hours of recorded interviews with 370+ researchers and doctors, plus 18,100+ research studies. Updated Oct 5, 2026. Each mention is read and marked positive, partly, neutral or negative, and the verdict is computed from every counted mention. Individual needs vary. This is not medical advice.
