Community Supplement Design
Extending maximum human lifespan will likely require a wide range of new biotechnology. Powerful interventions such as pharmaceuticals, stem cell technology, and gene therapy are in development but could be years or decades away from widespread implementation. During the intervening time the best way to ward off the ravages of disease and aging is to take care of yourself.

Members of the Immortality Institute are keenly aware of this reality. That is why Imminst forum discussions about exercise, nutrition, and supplements are very active and comprehensive. Members are constantly on the lookout for the latest research lending insight into which supplements are beneficial, cost-effective, and readily available. Much has been made of the deficiencies of current multivitamin formulations and this has led to a community effort to design the “perfect multivitamin”.

Problems with common multi-mixes and multivitamins are nutrient amounts far above the daily RDA/DRI, forms that are not easily digested/absorbed, and purity. Of utmost importance during this community design effort is including nutrients that are highly bio-available, beneficial, and in amounts sensible for those who maintain a reasonably good diet.
The process will occur in 5 stages:
1. Deciding which nutrients to include: Design: Nutrients
2. Choosing what forms are the best: Design: Forms
3. Establishing the amounts/proportions of each ingredient: Design: Amounts
4. Convening an expert panel to resolve any final issues: Design: Expert Panel
5. Working with Revgenetics and possibly other manufacturers to produce the formulation.
Join the discussion and have a say in the design of your next multivitamin.
