Can Anti Aging Supplements Help Other Problems?
January 13, 2009 by GiGi
Welcome back!
We all know that many anti aging supplements can help with diseases associated with aging, such as heart problems, Alzheimers, cognitive function, etc. But can they help with other ailments not associated with aging?
Unfortunately, a family member was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I immediately went on the internet to look up alternative therapies and to my surprise, many of the supplements I already take were on the list of supplements to try for Multiple Sclerosis.
Those not familiar with MS should know that it generally starts in younger people, between the ages of 20-40. Some of the recommended supplements (this varies of course, depending on the individual) include:
- Fish Oil
- Coenzyme Q10
- Curcumin/Turmeric
- Magnesium
- Selenium
- Calcium
- Zinc
- Vitamins C, E, B12 and D3
And of course, the same things I always preach - a healthy diet high in antioxidants, lots of exercise, plenty of sleep.
The one thing I forgot about in all my research on anti aging was that a lot of the studies done on supplements were for helping with other diseases, not anti aging. The anti aging properties of some of these supplements were a by-product or discovery of the study itself.
It’s good to know that many of the supplements associated with anti aging are generally good for you whether help with aging is your goal or not.

I think your point about anti-aging supplements being good for you is a good one. Most people don’t realize of these even if you aren’t just focused on anti-aging.
