Why I Started Augment Life

I started Augment Life after years of frustration with the supplement industry. The longevity research was clear. We know which pathways matter for healthy aging. But when I went to actually buy supplements? Everything fell short.

Products filled with fillers and additives. Labels that confused more than they clarified. Bold claims with zero proof behind them.

I wanted something simple: know exactly what I'm taking and why it works.

When I couldn't find it, I built it myself.

I partnered with longevity scientists and suppliers I could trust. We created formulations backed by clinical research and verified through independent testing. Every ingredient serves a purpose. Every formula gets tested. No proprietary blends. No shortcuts. 

That's what Augment Life is today.

Supplements that actually work, proven by science, designed for people who want to live better and longer.

Because you deserve to know exactly what you're putting in your body.

—Thomas Hillard, Founder

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Berberine is a plant-derived compound found in several herbs, including barberry. It has a long history of use and is widely studied for its role in supporting metabolic health.

Berberine is commonly used to support healthy glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. It is often taken alongside meals to help the body manage carbohydrates more efficiently.

Berberine is best taken with meals, especially meals that contain carbohydrates. Taking it with food helps improve tolerance and aligns intake with its metabolic role.

Store berberine in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children.

Take berberine with meals that contain carbohydrates, ideally alongside some healthy fats. Taking berberine with food supports tolerance and aligns intake with carbohydrate metabolism.

Berberine is not a stimulant and does not provide an immediate energy boost. Its effects are related to metabolic support rather than short-term stimulation.

Most people take 1 to 3 capsules per day, depending on individual needs and tolerance. If taking more than one capsule, it is recommended to split the intake across meals.

Berberine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are taking prescription glucose-lowering medications or immunosuppressants, consult a healthcare professional before use.

Berberine is commonly used as part of a long-term wellness routine. Some people prefer to take breaks periodically, which is a personal choice.
