Doctor’s Anti-Aging Secret: Simple Supplements
A leading longevity expert, Dr. Mohammed Enayat, focuses on accessible, budget-friendly supplements as a key element of his anti-aging strategy. His approach emphasizes the power of readily available options in promoting a younger “biological age.”
Core Supplements for Longevity
Dr. Enayat, founder of the Hum2n longevity clinic in London, tracks his health using wearable technology such as an Oura ring and Whoop strap, alongside blood, urine, and microbiome tests. He adjusts his routine, including supplements, based on these results.
Over several years, Dr. Enayat has consistently used what he considers core supplements: B complex and folate, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids. “While I believe these supplements have supported my biological age reversal, I credit them as one component in a much broader framework,” he said.
“I have a methylation gene defect, which means that my homocysteine, one of the markers, rises high, which is very pro-inflammatory. So to bring that down, I have to be on a good B complex and a folate supplement,”

The Importance of Magnesium
Magnesium is present in foods such as dark leafy greens, nuts, and whole grains. The mineral plays a key role in many bodily processes, including blood sugar regulation and bone strength. However, the vast majority of Americans get adequate magnesium through their diet. (NIH 2023)
Due to what he perceives as insufficient dietary intake, Dr. Enayat supplements with magnesium bisglycinate, which he finds aids in muscle recovery and sleep quality.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Their Potential
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish, walnuts, and chia seeds, have links to improved heart health and reduced inflammation. Dr. Enayat, with naturally low omega-3 levels, takes a daily supplement.
Research suggests omega-3 supplements may offer anti-aging benefits. A study published earlier this year found that participants consuming a gram of omega-3s daily showed lower biological ages compared to those who did not.
