So in the science of fitness, there's a lot of woo, but there are a few really clear wins. One such example in weight lifting is supplementing creatine. It's well researched, fairly inexpensive, the performance improvements are significant and well documented, and it's very safe with side effects being mild and rare. Once you're actually doing the exercise and nutrition part more or less right, it's hard to argue against supplementing creatine. It's used by the vast majority of professional bodybuilders and most experienced weight lifters.

Is there anything similar in the science of anti-aging? Where (A) The body of research is large, well established, and mostly uncontroversial; (B) The benefits and safety profile are good; (C) The majority of people who are serious about this stuff use it/take it/do it.
