“Food-level: camu camu (vitamin C), pasteurised acai, one or two Brazil nuts. Sangre de grado, ajo sacha and guinea hen weed are traditional cold and flu plants.”
“Fruit pulp, a food, rich in vitamin C. Dried pulp is authorised in the EU as a novel food.”
What Marty says

“Concerns: fiber elimination, microbiome changes, potential nutrient gaps (vitamin C, though meat contains some), sustainability, saturated fat (individual genetic response varies - check your lipids).”
“Why this is a priority biohack: Over 1000 published studies. Most antioxidants are non-selective (vitamin C, vitamin E) and can actually interfere with beneficial oxidative signaling. Hydrogen is selective - it only targets the destructive radicals. No toxicity at any dose. No side effects. No drug interactions. It's one of the safest and most underrated interventions in biohacking.”
