Ideas for MPN Side Effects

 AKG supplement from double wood: Life changer. Half a capsule in the morning on days I feel really down. My MPN specialist is ok with me taking it. Fairly natural molecule.

Scientific Reference:  

  • https://ashpublications.org/blood/article/140/Supplement%201/1095/492376/Transcriptional-and-Metabolic-Profiling-Reveals

How does it work?

  • It works by calming down overactive platelets and inflammation.

  • You'll feel a burst of energy if you take it in the morning all day.


Suja Uber greens juice or any cucumber/celery juice: Pretty good boost to energy. Too much might cause a burn out. Just half a bottle is enough.

Scientific Reference:  

  • I cannot explain why celery juice and/or cucumbers are energizing but they are, and they're very safe. No brainer to try.


Green tea and hibiscus tea in the morning: Improves mood / lifts up depression. I drink both everyday. Doesn't give energy. But improves energy by improving mood.

Scientific Reference:  

  • Green tea and its extract EGCG was found effective against JAK overactivation in numerous diseases. They also help with leukemias and blood cancers in human trials. Another no brainer to try.

Half a cup of coffee: Use when green tea isn't sufficient. Mood booster. Increases energy and motivation.


Wobenzym: Helpful for increasing energy.

Scientific Reference:  

  • Too complex to explain. But generally speaking TGF-beta is fibrotic factor. Enzymes lower TGF-beta. I don't know why this would give you more energy, but it does.

Curcumin and fish oil: To reduce bone pain, relax yourself. They calm down the fire burning inside of you -- overactive Jak/stat. You'll sleep a lot better and wake up refreshed if you can calm down the inflammation.

  • Curcumin inhibits JAK2 in numerous conditions including MPNs. It's one of the best supplements to deal with symptoms. https://mylongevityjourney.blogspot.com/2024/01/curcumin-to-inhibit-jak2.html

  • Fish oil just fantastic, too. Be careful about blood thinning. https://mylongevityjourney.blogspot.com/2021/09/fish-oil.html


I'm doing all of the above. Provides a significant boost to my quality of life. AKG in particular is very impactful (single most energizing), but all of them help. Always check with your doctor. (Image by AI)

A Short Summary of Antiaging Interventions

  A SHORT SUMMARY OF LONGEVITY INTERVENTIONS How to select which intervention to bet on? We’ll look for the following evidence to come up with a strategy: [Longer human lifespan] Drugs/supplements/lifestyle changes that were shown to lower all cause mortality in long-running human RCTs (Randomized Clinical Trials) — the gold standard in research. Additionally, we will consider interventions that are associated with increased human longevity, though the evidence from RCTs might be still emerging.  [Longer mice lifespan with some supporting evidence from humans] Drugs/supplements/lifestyle changes that extended mice lifespan with promising outcomes in short-term human RCTs (~causation) or retrospective analyses (~association).  [Treat based on biomarkers] Treat high/low values in your labs and biomarkers (e.g. optimize when they aren’t in the ideal range).  [Track your N=1] Don’t blindly follow statistics; make sure the drug/supplement you’re taking works for you specifically (N=1).

  BACKGROUND ON MPNs: Healthy hematopoietic stem cells are essential for maintaining a robust immune system and overall well-being. These stem cells give rise to various blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which contribute to efficient oxygen transport, protection against infections and malignancies, and proper blood clotting and tissue repair ( 2020 ). In myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), JAK2-pathway overactivation results in the proliferation of an abnormal clone that dominates the bone marrow, outcompeting healthy hematopoietic stem cells. The hyperactivation of JAK2 and excessive production of inflammatory cytokines by MPN cells contribute to chronic inflammation ( 2021 ).  As the cancerous mass increases, the likelihood of acquiring additional mutations also rises, further promoting the disease's progression and exacerbating the decline in healthy stem cell function ( 2010 ). MPNs can be recognized as a disease of accelerated aging thr
