I’m hoping to start a thread wherein everyone can join with their stacks pointing to specific prescription medications or supplements which provide protection for specific organs. Example of my stack:
Which meds and supplements in your stack provide organ specific protective effects?
Evaluating Bempedoic Acid for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Review of Preclinical and Clinical Research
Some drugs have mixed results, in which case I don’t list them for a given organ - for example telmisartan can be helpful in lowering liver fat, but has also been associated with unfavorable liver effects and elevated liver enzymes, so I’m leaving it off from the liver column.
Hmm. Some of these come as a bit of surprise to me. I didn’t realize sacubitril/valsartan was ever used preventatively, more a heart failure aftermath; similar with eplerenone. I guess I should look into these for educational purposes. Thanks.
Good lists. I know the topic is ‘Meds’ but two important brain/cognitive gero strategies are vigorous exercise and novel mental tasks requiring sustained focus and problem solving. Other things being equal, the latter could be the most important of all. Learned, routinized mental tasks might be less likely to qualify, even if complex.
