Supplements
I will be posting, in this page, papers related to supplements.
If some of these links do not provide the full text, I do not recommend using sci-hub to access them. That would be horrible as you would have access to the full paper without having to go through any paywalls. We do not want that. Do not use sci-hub.
Creatine
-
Oral creatine administration may improve short-term memory and intelligence/reasoning of healthy individuals but its effect on other cognitive domains remains unclear. Findings suggest potential benefit for aging and stressed individuals.

Effect of creatine, creatinine, and creatine ethyl ester on TLR expression in macrophages
These studies support the hypothesis that CR and its metabolite, CRN may downregulate the innate immune response by decreasing TLR expression on macrophages, a key cell involved in the early phases of the immune response. In addition, these supplements may also influence cells of the adaptive immune response based on their ability to influence expression of TLR-2, -3, -4, and − 7 on B cells, T cells, and macrophages.
Omega 3
- Using an erythrocyte fatty acid fingerprint to predict risk of all-cause mortality: the Framingham Offspring Cohort
“The 11-year survival rate was 85 percent for non-smokers with high omega-3 concentrations, compared to 47 percent for smokers with low omega-3 levels. Interestingly, smokers with high omega-3s and non-smokers with low omega-3s had the same survival rate of 71 percent, suggesting that low omega-3 status is as detrimental as smoking.”
Collagen
- Effects of hydrolyzed collagen supplementation on skin aging: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Based on results, ingestion of hydrolyzed collagen for 90 days is effective in reducing skin aging, as it reduces wrinkles and improves skin elasticity and hydration.
