Inside My January 2026 Supplement Stack (The Logic Behind Every Choice)
I take supplements. A lot of them. Because I know how much a normal life, intelligently supplemented, can become an optimal life.
Reassessing your supplement protocol is a biological necessity — not a whim
I reassess my supplement protocol every single month.
I spend about 4 hours over a weekend doing so. This does not include the time spent reading and analyzing studies throughout the month.
This approach may surprise some people, but it is based on a very simple biological reality:
👉 The human body is not a static system.
Needs evolve depending on:
environmental stressors (toxins, infections, travel, mycotoxins)
inflammatory status
gut permeability
mitochondrial function
autonomic nervous system balance
and the adaptations induced by the supplements themselves
A protocol that made perfect sense three months ago can become useless, excessive — or even counterproductive — today.
To those who believe that “eating well is enough,” my answer is twofold:
First, our soils are severely depleted, meaning the foods we eat today are far less nutrient-dense than they once were.
Second, while a perfectly balanced diet allows you to live a normal life, a balanced diet plus intelligent supplementation allows you to live an optimal life.
The physiological reasons behind changes in my protocol
Monthly adjustments are mainly driven by three situations:
1. A therapeutic objective has been reached
Example: targeted work on mycotoxins, which becomes unnecessary once biomarkers return to normal.
2. Controlled exploration of new molecules
Some emerging supplements show interesting mechanisms of action (mitochondrial, inflammatory, neuro-immune). I choose to test them in a measured, monitored, and controlled framework.
3. Conditions poorly or insufficiently addressed by conventional medicine
Or situations where I aim to avoid treatments with heavy side effects, when structured alternatives exist.
This protocol is personal, experimental, and monitored
The protocol presented here is strictly my own.
It is:
not a recommendation
not a model to replicate
not medical advice
It is an individual case, based on:
specific medical history
specific symptoms
biomarkers that are regularly tracked
I share it solely because so many of you ask me what I take, why I take it, and how.
Prescription molecules: framework and precautions
This protocol intentionally includes prescription-only molecules, known for their powerful systemic effects.
Example: colchicine (thank you Dr. Gina Tobalina for pointing me in this direction).
It is used here to modulate chronic inflammation, notably via inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, which is now well documented in inflammatory, metabolic, and neurodegenerative conditions.
👉 But colchicine is not benign:
it can impact pancreatic function
it requires regular lipase monitoring
In my case:
a moderate elevation in lipase led to an initial 75% dose reduction
that reduction was accompanied by a rebound in inflammatory markers
a subsequent adjustment to 50% of the dose was then implemented
This is exactly how any serious approach should work:
observe → measure → adjust → reassess
Formulation logic: absorption and digestive load
One often overlooked aspect: the form of supplements.
Whenever possible, I favor:
powders
liquid forms
transdermal forms
Objectives:
reduce digestive burden
improve bioavailability
avoid excessive capsule ingestion (currently ~80–100/day)
“What about your liver? Your kidneys?” — a biological answer, not an emotional one
This question comes up often — sometimes sarcastically — often from people sipping cocktails or enjoying processed foods.
My answer is simple:
👉 I measure.
Liver function
Kidney function
Inflammatory markers
Everything is tracked and documented.
And most importantly:
I publish the results — unfiltered, no storytelling, no spin.
Supplement quality: a central issue
The scientific literature is clear:
👉 Supplement quality varies enormously.
That is why:
I detail my choices on valbiohacker
I am working on an upcoming super clean supplement line called ZellNova (make sure you follow to be the first to know when the doors open!)
Few products, but:
verified manufacturing chains
maximum traceability
coherence with a serious biohacking approach
January protocol: intentionally restricted access
The detailed protocol (timing, dosages, combinations, prescription molecules) is placed behind a paywall.
Not out of elitism.
But to avoid:
superficial reading
misuse
and, above all, dangerous misinterpretations
👉 Only those truly committed to understanding can access it.
In this protocol, you will not see the BioBloom NADH patches I use twice per week.
Nor will you see the SomaPeptides peptides I use under fairly complex protocols.
Follow the links to access the exclusive discounts I negotiated for you.
Those require a dedicated article.
If peptides interest you, head to the PEPTIDES section on valbiohacker.com
Why this protocol is heavily modified this month
The past six months were focused on mycotoxins (I eliminated all of them except one originating from tea, spices, alcohol, and coffee).
As a result, for January I reduced all binders (chelators) to zero:
bentonite clay
activated charcoal
zeolite
I also aimed to eradicate salmonella without antibiotics, which I successfully achieved based on my latest test results.
Therefore, several supplements are no longer necessary.
That said, I am keeping biofilm disruptors and antimicrobials for two more weeks (post-therapeutic plasma exchange).
