Best Anti Aging Supplements- Doctor's orders

While browsing this forum, I have seen a lot of posts about supplements for aging as related to skin health, many without much science or references to back the recommendations.

If the primary causes of aging are glycation, oxidation, inflammation and methylation wouldn't it make sense that the best supplements to fight aging would address some or all of these issues?

Can someone tell me how an oral dose of MSM or hyaluronic acid would reverse cell damage or aid in its preservation?

I know that many people have posted having good results with these, and I'm not meaning to step on anyone's toes. However, as this is an area I'm extremely passionate about (as most of us are, I assume) I obsessively read research done by leading doctors in this field, such as Dr. Andrew Weil (writes for Prevention magazine), Dr. Nicholas Perricone, Dr. Peter Pugliese (Circadia skincare who often writes for SkinInc) among many others. I don’t believe any of them list MSM or HA as a top oral supplement.

All of the supplements they recommend address one of the above-mentioned causes of aging and are backed by some pretty impressive science! These include, but are not limited to: Alpha lipoic acid, Benfotiamine, Carnosine, DMAE, Coenzyme Q10, EFA’s, Acetyl L-Carnitine and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (this one is mostly for weight loss).

I know many people take EFAs, DMAE and CoQ10, but the others are definitely worth a looking into IMHO.

ww.imminst.org this forum has many very well informed members. This is a better forum for people interested in life extension, antiaging etc....quite a few of the members even practice caloric restriction in the extreme sometimes in an effort to keep weight down and extend their life(its a proven fact that you will live longer if you are a little underweight)Notice there are never any fat people that live to be over 100?I stumbled across this board by accident when I was googling ,its a very unusual forum to say the least but you can get lots of info and good answers on that board.
