Hello,
Before we dive into the world of supplements, let’s get one thing straight: I’m not a fitness guru or someone with a perfectly healthy lifestyle. At 54, married with three children, I left the ‘dad bod’ in the rearview mirror a long time ago. I’m now in my advanced ‘wheat and barley belly’ era — a testament to a life well-lived with plenty of bread and beer. That’s life. 🍻
The Accidental Journey into Supplements
My name is Daniel Marques, and I live in Brazil (born and raised, in fact). My story began sometime between my second and third child. I noticed my body wasn’t reacting well to dairy and wheat anymore. I started making self-directed experiments with my diet, cutting out or changing foods to find a combination that didn’t cause discomfort. (To be clear, I didn’t have a medical allergy or intolerance. If I did, I would have seen a specialist—and if that’s your situation, I strongly recommend you do so immediately).
It was during this time that I developed a fascination with supplements. While I wouldn’t call myself a biohacker, I have personally tested the effects of many different compounds as they rose in popularity (as I write this, creatine and N-acetylcysteine are having their moment).
The Problem with Online Reviews
I grew tired of analyzing data from different supplement brands just to make a smart purchase. For a long time, I ended up relying on recommendations from friends, choosing based on price, or trusting reviews on specialized websites. Unfortunately, it has become increasingly common to find “reviews” that are nothing more than disguised advertisements. With the rise of AI, this flood of fake reviews has completely saturated the internet.
Fighting Fire with Fire
As an IT professional with over 25 years of experience — backed by a degree in Business Administration and a specialization in Information Systems Management from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) — I decided to fight fire with fire. I configured an AI agent that creates reviews for me and my wife whenever we need to choose a new supplement. A second agent reviews the content, hunting for inconsistencies. And a third agent rigorously stress-tests the final result, forcing out any inaccuracies or untruths. I was genuinely impressed with the outcome.
So impressed, in fact, that I decided to share it with the world, believing there are other people out there facing the same frustration. I hope you find it useful. More importantly, I hope it helps you choose the best products for your needs.
How This Site Stays Afloat
Of course, everything in life has a cost, and I’ve dedicated a significant amount of my time to this project. To support this work, some of the products reviewed here may have a purchase button that links directly to the producer’s site. If you make a purchase through that link, I may receive a small commission—at no extra cost to you. This helps keep me motivated and allows me to continue reviewing products, even those that don’t directly interest me.

All the best,
