The electrolyte powder I take along with creatine is made by Nutriana (More info:  https://amzn.to/44AVkq2 ).  I take one scoop in a tall glass of water, adding 5 grams of creatine.

Marcy stack weight gym (200 pounds of weights) (Note: This is an excellent gym but for me it was overkill. I would have saved a lot of money by instead buying the 150 pound gym below): https://amzn.to/41I1tP7

*FOODS AND SUPPLEMENTS*

Gaia Male Libido – supports healthy libido in men. It does work, though it works best IMO when taken with some other supplements. More info: https://amzn.to/3n8Trjs

Men’s Multivitamins (Vimerson Health) I like this one because it has (a small amount of) niacin instead of niacinamide, which most Multis have. (David Sinclair has advised against taking the niacinamide form.) More info: https://amzn.to/3ngrw0M

Starwest organic rosemary leaf (whole 1 pound bag). I take it because rosemary is a staple in the diets of the people in Acciaroli, Italy. Some researchers have speculated that it may be a factor in their remarkable longevity and the fact that dementia is almost unknown there. Plus, I like the flavor. More info: https://amzn.to/42qlHx1

Anchovies and sardines are also staples in Accioroli, so I also eat them almost every day. When buying sardines I like both Season Sardines and Safe Catch. I usually buy skinless/boneless in olive oil, which taste wonderful. Season Sardines are a bit cheaper. More info: https://amzn.to/3LllhAS

The link for Safe Catch wild boneless sardines in olive oil is https://amzn.to/3AECUXw
Re: anchovies, I avoid the super-salted ones. I buy Wild Planet anchovies, and like them if mixed with other ingredients  (such as mixing them in salads with greens, onions and pickles, or mixing them in with some scrambled eggs. Wild Planet Wild White Anchovies are the ones I like best. More info;  https://amzn.to/40PHBbN

North Atlantic Mackerel – This kind of mackerel is very high in phosphatidyl serine, which some studies suggest is protective of the brain consolidating memories. More info: https://amzn.to/3LF4ESg

I'll be adding more links when I get a chance to.
