Study, Trial or Testing Result Summary
Members OnlyHuman studies
No studies were given for this product or its ingredients for reversing aging or for cellular and DNA repair. The label lists a single item, BIN 100% CHXN, at 48 grams per serving, and the store listing names the same product. No breakdown of ingredients or doses was provided, so we cannot say whether any part of it matches a dose used in research, and nothing is hidden in a blend that we can identify. Without human studies on this goal, there is no evidence that the product slows aging, reverses biological age, or helps cells repair their DNA. There is also no evidence that it fails at these things. The question has simply not been studied as far as the information we were given shows. No customer reviews were counted and no written reviews could be read, so we do not know how buyers rate it or what they report. No biohacker statements were available either. Members interested in this product for an anti-aging goal should treat it as unproven and look for products with direct human research behind them. Animal and cell studies are never counted.

Biohacker Summary
Members Only0 of 10 recommend it
0 of 10 biohackers on our panel recommend it
This product's listed ingredients are both smaller ingredients, iron and calcium, so the panel has no main ingredient to speak about and all ten spoke about one or both. On iron, the panel is split: four lean toward recommending it, mainly for people who are low, such as menstruating women, and for energy, muscle and brain function, and one takes 10 milligrams of heme iron, but several warn against taking it aggressively without testing, and one said he stopped after years of supplements failed to raise his levels. Many would rather get iron from red meat or liver, and testing levels first is a common theme. Calcium got more steady support for bone health, with one panelist suggesting 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams a day from all sources, using calcium carbonate or calcium citrate if supplementing, while another warns against calcium supplements and prefers dairy, and others point to sardines, dairy and kale as food sources.

- Dr. Berg states that when nutrients like iron are too low, fatigue and weakness can follow.
- Recommends focusing on calcium to support stronger bones if a neck hump is associated with osteoporosis.
- Does not recommend taking iron supplements or cooking in iron skillets because the body has no mechanism of getting rid of iron unless one donates blood or is a menstruating female.

- Identifies iron as the Achilles' heel of cancer, as it is needed for its DNA to replicate.
- Warns that bone loss cannot be fixed with just calcium, as bone is primarily collagen with other essential minerals.
- Mentions that grass-fed liver has heme iron, the most bioavailable form of iron that prevents anemia.
- Dr. Berg includes calcium carbonate among the synthetic supplements to avoid.
- Dr. Berg warns that too much iron can be damaging to the body and advises focusing on food sources to avoid overconsumption.
- Warns against calcium carbonate, also known as limestone, stating that while it lowered hip fractures in a study, it also increased kidney stones and is not good for arteries, requiring the body to work hard to use it.
- Warns that too much iron, especially the ferrous sulfate or fumarate type found in many supplements, is corrosive and oxidizing, can mess with the liver, and create inflammation, noting that males have no natural way to excrete excess iron.
Thomas DeLauer · Iron · recommends
- Recommends giving any iron intervention a couple of months before deciding if it works, and suggests increasing heme iron through red meat or liver intake.
- Compares iron content in spinach (2.7mg) and beef (2.6mg), but emphasizes that beef's heme iron absorbs at about 25%, while spinach's non-heme iron absorbs at 2-8%.
- Notes that milk contains 120mg of calcium, while sardines contain 351mg, highlighting a 3x difference.
- Recommends iron from meat, specifically red meat and beef liver, stating that it is a crucial part of the mechanistic triad for thyroid hormone function and is iron-dependent for iodine incorporation into thyroid hormone.
- Recommends getting calcium, along with vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium, from foods like sardines, as they are important for inflammatory pathways in the gut.
- Explains that eating sardines with their soft bones provides a serious hit of calcium, which is a perfect combination for bones and may contribute to satiety.
- Mentions that magnesium and calcium should not be taken together as they cancel each other out.
- Tries to get multivitamins without calcium or with a low amount, as he believes supplemental calcium impacts the absorption of other vitamins and minerals and is not as beneficial as hyped. He cautions against it for most people due to the risk of coronary artery calcification.
- Recommends getting calcium from dairy sources like milk, yogurt, kefir, and cheese in the morning to support neurotransmitter synchronization crucial for deep and REM sleep, noting that low dietary calcium is linked to insomnia.

- Warns that calcium competes with magnesium for the same absorption channels, advising to separate magnesium intake from calcium supplements or dairy by at least an hour or two.
- Recommends providing the body with adequate dietary calcium, not a calcium supplement, to ensure a clean, strong spark for efficient insulin release.

- Mentions that they check iron levels as part of evaluating mental illness biomarkers.
- Does not prescribe calcium supplements at all, teaching people to get it from whole foods instead, because calcium supplements don't work for building bones or preventing fractures, and it's bone quality, not density, that matters.

- Warns that high iron levels are associated with increased risk of mortality and reduced lifespan, and that iron in excess is bad for maximum longevity. He states that iron levels slightly on the lower end, around 60 to 90 micrograms per deciliter, are associated with the lowest mortality risk, and that iron below 45 and above 145 micrograms per deciliter is associated with increased risk of mortality.

- Recommends taking calcium citrate during a high oxalate meal to bind the oxalate in the gut.
- Notes that people often take calcium for bone health.
- Egg yolks, particularly raw egg yolks, fatty cuts of meat, choline sources like that, making sure there's enough iron and a lot of the micro minerals, trace minerals, things like that.

- Warns that both too much and not enough iron can trash the body, highlighting the complex interactions between iron and copper.
- States that iron really helps in maintaining hair growth.
- States that many vegans don't get enough iron, which slows metabolism and makes it harder to build muscle.
Peter Attia · Calcium · recommends

- Notes that bone is 50 to 70 percent mineral, with calcium being the predominant mineral, and virtually all of the body's calcium is contained within bone.

- Suggests that calcium is one of the other signals involved in regulating mitochondrial number, beyond AMPK activation.
- States that in postmenopausal women not on estrogen, calcium and vitamin D have no protective effect against hip fracture because the problem is not the shell of the bone, which is fed by calcium and vitamin D, but the internal girder network.
