“Creatine helps in muscle-building and promoting athletic performance. Calcium Alpha-Ketoglutarate supports enhancing the frailty index and Glucosamine Sulfate boosts respiratory health. Lastly, Ashwagandha works to improve mood, sleep cycle, and overall recovery,” said Kumari, explaining the individual benefits of the components.

However, Ekta Singhwal, dietician, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals, warned that it’s important to note the effectiveness of such supplements in increasing lifespan is not well-established and may vary depending on individual factors.

She also suggested the repositioning of extra virgin olive oil as “snake oil” could be “a deceptive marketing strategy aimed at promoting the product with exaggerated or false claims.

“Extra virgin olive oil is traditionally recognised for its health benefits, thanks to its high content of monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. However, labeling it as “snake oil” implies an attempt to exploit consumer trust by promoting unfounded health claims or selling inferior quality products,” Singhwal told indianexpress.com in an interaction.

Johnson asserted the stack is grounded in research and priced at £278 (approximately $343) for a month’s supply. In a promotional post, he boldly declared it to be “second only to mother’s milk.”

The recommended approach is to replace 400 calories from your existing diet with the Blueprint stack. It’s intended as a supplement to address potential deficiencies, not a complete meal replacement.

Johnson, a former Silicon Valley executive, is well-known for his fervent interest in anti-ageing. He claims to have reversed his biological age by over five years and boasts improved health markers. Project Blueprint, encompassing a specialised diet, medical monitoring, therapies, and exercise, represents a significant financial investment for Johnson. Earlier in the year, he made headlines for supposedly reversing hair loss through another self-developed programme.

It’s crucial to note that the scientific community has not reached a consensus on the effectiveness of Project Blueprint. Additionally, at a cost of £2 million annually, such extensive anti-ageing interventions are likely out of reach for most people.

Singhwal too advised approaching claims of increased lifespan or health improvements with skepticism. “While certain nutrients and dietary supplements may support overall health, there is no magic solution or “miracle” product that can guarantee longevity. Claims like being “second only to mother’s milk” should be critically evaluated based on scientific evidence and not taken at face value,” she expanded.

For those interested, Johnson’s product is available for delivery to 23 countries, including the UK, the USA, and most of Europe.
