Dihydroberberine requires a smaller dose for the same effect. It’s easier on my GI tract than regular berberine so that’s why I use it. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to see any changes to my blood work from either berberine or dihydroberberine. I’m taking it on faith that it works. I have used Nutricost and Doublewood brands.

One of the best computer programmers follows this blueprint system of supplements, it makes sense, polypharmacy except for drug metabolism is probably a scam.

Good news for those who cannot afford the procedure and were experiencing FOMO.
"Plasmapheresis may backfire? 
A new study in healthy adults found no anti-aging benefits after 4/8 rounds of plasmapheresis—instead, some aging markers went up. #Longevity #AgingScience"

Although I posted this study. It is plasma donation in middle aged people. Older people may benefit from plasma donation.
Sorry, I missed that. Still can’t currently afford it. The cost-benefit ratio doesn’t seem that good. It wouldn’t be high on my list to spend money on.

Typically you get paid for plasma donation… so you can make money from it (not spend money).

Sorry, I was thinking of receiving plasma donations from young donors.

These are not interventions I personally see as being of much use.

I still like good-old fashioned blood donation. Not the same as plasma ‘exchange’ but shedding a bag does wonders IMO
There is an issue with iron overload. Best tracked watching the iron indicators. Interestingly my weekly blood draw which varies between 10 and 30ml a week is sufficient to cause mild anemia if I am drinking. Interestingly with less alcohol it may not need material iron supplementation.
Yes. I run a low ferritin and mild anaemia. Fully investigated and no clear reason. Means my RCDW is on the higher side, not helped by Rapa.
But so much better than having too much iron

What sort of figures?
Ferritin gets as low as 14 with an Hb of 12.2. I never notice anything until Im refused blood donation. TIBC, iron, all normal but transferrin % slightly low.
I take a course of lactoferrin and all is rectified.
RCDW has been 17.2, even when all other FBC/CBC markers are normal (but on Rapamycin).
Usually RCDW is between 13 and15.
