Personalized Supplementation

Personalized supplementation is one of the pillars of anti-aging medicine. From the age of 35-40, the body starts absorbing fewer nutrients, collagen production decreases, and muscle mass is lost. Supplements help to:

• Correct nutritional deficiencies;
• Improve cellular function;
• Reduce chronic inflammation;
• Balance hormonal levels;
• Strengthen the immune system;
• Regulate sleep and daily energy;
• Protect skin, hair, joints, and bones health.

A supplement is only safe when recommended based on a clinical assessment and tests that identify your real needs. The anti-aging consultation ensures that the supplementation is suitable for your profile, avoiding excesses or unnecessary combinations.

Yes. In preventive or anti-aging medicine consultations, it is common to combine supplementation with hormonal treatments, as long as it is monitored by a doctor. This integrated approach allows the correction of imbalances, improving energy, sleep, and body composition safely.

Yes. Some supplements, such as vitamin D, magnesium, calcium, omega-3, or phytoestrogens, are useful in preventing symptoms associated with menopause and andropause, such as fatigue, mood changes, bone density loss, and cognitive deficits. The choice should always be personalized and based on medical evaluation.

Yes, especially with supplements such as collagen, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, zinc, and antioxidants. These nutrients help maintain skin firmness, hydration, and radiance, and are part of anti-aging protocols focused on rejuvenation. Before starting any supplementation, it is essential to consult a specialist to assess your needs.

Supplements can be divided into different categories: vitamins (e.g., D, B12, C), minerals (magnesium, zinc, iron), antioxidants (resveratrol, coenzyme Q10), fatty acids (omega-3), amino acids, probiotics, and adaptogens (help the body adapt to stress). In preventive medicine, the choice depends on the clinical status and objectives of each individual.

No. Nutritional supplements do not contain enough calories to cause weight gain. Some, such as omega-3 or multivitamins, even contribute to hormonal and metabolic regulation. When properly indicated and monitored by your doctor, they may even assist in weight loss.

From the age of 40, needs may vary between men and women. For example, women tend to need more bone and hormonal support in the pre-menopausal stage, while men may benefit from supplementation to support muscle mass and testosterone levels.

Some commonly recommended supplements include:

• Vitamin D and calcium: essential for bone health
• Omega-3: with anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular protective actions
• Magnesium and B complex: for the nervous system and energy
• Collagen and antioxidants: for skin, joints, and cellular aging
• The choice should always be personalized, based on clinical tests and medical monitoring.

Yes. Personalized supplementation can be adjusted to different goals, from hair health to cognitive performance or sleep quality. Some examples include:

• Memory and focus: omega-3, phosphatidylserine, and ginkgo biloba;
• Sleep: melatonin, magnesium, and L-theanine, to promote deeper and more regular rest;
• Muscle mass: protein, creatine, and vitamin D, especially in cases of strength loss with age;
• Hair loss: biotin, zinc, iron, and amino acids (a hair genetic test such as Trichotest may be required for evaluation).
• Effectiveness depends on the origin of the problem and the individual body’s response; therefore, a medical evaluation is essential before starting any supplementation.
