Tbh my 8‑week Ca‑AKG + spermidine stack for skin and energy

I decided to try a new stack for the past two months, pairing calcium alpha‑ketoglutarate with spermidine, and wanted to share how it went because the numbers are pretty straight‑up. I started with ca‑akg 1 g twice a day, spaced out, because the label says 1‑3 g per day and i wanted a solid baseline, and added spermidine 4 mg once daily, a dose i found in a few longevity threads that seemed safe and easy to remember. Tbh i’ve been watching my sleep and skin closely, and i’ve noticed a few shifts that surprised me.

The first week my skin still felt a bit dry and the bedtime routine was the same, but by week four the sweat‑like haze around my eyes was gone and the skin felt tighter when i touch the mask on my face. The next two weeks my energy consistent throughout the day, especially after the 10‑minute walk that i used to skip. I’ve been on a normal diet, no big changes, so i think the stack is doing something, but i keep an eye on the gut reaction because ca‑akg can upset the tummy if over‑dosed.

I’ve been checking my bloodwork, and the inflammatory markers that were slightly raised in the last check are hovering lower. I’m not claiming a miracle, just a steady lift that feels real for me.

• patient_mom: Anecdotally i have been mixing calcium alpha‑ketoglutarate with a small dose of spermidine too, but i keep the calcium lower. I usually take 500 mg two times a day and only 1 mg of spermidine, because i want to avoid the mild stomach upset that can happen when the dose goes up. I did notice a similar drop in the dark rings under my eyes after about four weeks.369 I was sceptical at first, but the change in my energy came when i actually started the 10‑minute walk again. I think the improved cir
• hank_m: Do you think the same 10‑minute walk step helped you more or the stack alone?
