Blueprint stack: creatine, collagen and co.

Taking a published, pre-decided supplement list at a fixed time, commonly used to make supplementation consistent and auditable rather than ad-hoc. Exact stacks vary widely between practitioners.

Quick facts

  • 1Bryan Johnson publishes his full supplement list with doses, sourcing and the rationale for each entry.
  • 2The stack evolves: entries are added and dropped based on his biomarker panels.
  • 3Its defining feature is auditability: every pill maps to a published measurement target.

Why people do it

  • Radical transparency: The published-and-measured approach is the opposite of proprietary blends, whatever one thinks of the contents.

  • Data-driven pruning: Entries leave the protocol when markers do not move, modeling how stacks probably should be run.

  • A study of one, documented: The value is the method: baseline, intervene, measure, publish.

Good to know

  • An n of 1: A protocol optimized against one man's biomarkers, budget and biology transfers to nobody wholesale.

  • Not medical advice: Copying dose lists without the accompanying testing infrastructure misses the entire point.

Common questions

Where is the current list?+

Bryan Johnson publishes the Blueprint protocol, including supplements and doses, on his public site; it changes over time.

What should a normal person copy?+

The method, not the list: test, change one thing, retest. The cheapest entries (creatine, omega-3s) are also the best evidenced.

Takeaway

Less a stack than a public experiment with receipts. Borrow the measurement discipline; leave the shopping list.
