Don't Die on Netflix — The Supplements Behind Bryan Johnson's Documentary

On January 1st 2025, Netflix released "Don't Die" — a documentary following Bryan Johnson, the tech billionaire who spends $2 million per year trying to reverse his biological age.
 
Within days it had sparked a global conversation about longevity, biohacking and what it actually means to optimise your health.
 
And millions of people had the same question: what does he actually take every day?
 
Here's the complete breakdown — and where UK buyers can access the same science-backed products.
 
WHO IS BRYAN JOHNSON?
 
Bryan Johnson made his fortune selling Braintree (the payment company behind Venmo) to PayPal for $800 million in 2013.
 
Since then he's dedicated his life to one mission: don't die.
 
His Blueprint Protocol involves working with a team of 30 doctors, taking over 100 measurements of his body daily, and following a precisely calibrated routine of diet, exercise, sleep and supplementation.
 
His biological age — according to his own testing — is decades younger than his chronological age of 47.
 
THE CORE SUPPLEMENTS IN THE BLUEPRINT PROTOCOL
 
Bryan Johnson is transparent about his protocol. He publishes much of it publicly at blueprint.bryanjohnson.com. Here are the core supplement categories:
 
1. NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)
 
Bryan takes NMN every morning. NMN is a direct precursor to NAD+ — the molecule your cells use to produce energy. NAD+ levels decline by roughly 50% by your 40s. NMN supplementation is one of the most researched strategies to restore them.
 
Dose: 500mg-1000mg daily with breakfast.
 
2. Resveratrol
 
Paired with NMN, resveratrol activates longevity proteins called sirtuins. Bryan Johnson and David Sinclair (Harvard longevity researcher) both take resveratrol daily as part of their NAD+ restoration stack.
 
3. High Polyphenol Olive Oil
 
This is one of Bryan Johnson's most talked-about daily habits. He takes 30ml of high polyphenol extra virgin olive oil every single morning. Not any olive oil — specifically high polyphenol varieties containing 1000mg+ of polyphenols per litre. Most supermarket olive oil contains under 100mg.
 
The key compounds are oleocanthal (studied for anti-inflammatory properties) and hydroxytyrosol (one of the most bioavailable antioxidants found in food).
 
4. Collagen Peptides
 
Bryan Johnson includes collagen in his protocol for skin, joint and connective tissue support. Marine collagen peptides are the most bioavailable form — with smaller molecular chains that absorb faster than bovine alternatives.
 
 
While not a supplement, red light therapy is a cornerstone of Bryan's daily routine. He uses photobiomodulation devices daily — 660nm and 850nm wavelengths that penetrate the skin and tissue to support cellular energy production, collagen synthesis and recovery.
 
6. Blue Light Blocking
 
Bryan Johnson is in bed by 8:30pm every night. To make this possible he eliminates blue light exposure in the evening — wearing blue light blocking glasses or using screen filters from sunset onwards. Blue light suppresses melatonin production by up to 50%.
 
 
Hydration quality is a priority in the Blueprint Protocol. Molecular hydrogen water — produced using SPE/PEM electrolysis technology — delivers dissolved H₂ at concentrations that act as a powerful antioxidant at the cellular level.
 
THE $2 MILLION QUESTION
 
Bryan Johnson's full protocol is extraordinarily expensive and complex. The 30 doctors, the daily blood tests, the 100+ measurements — most people will never replicate that.
 
But the core supplementation stack? That's accessible.
 
Bio-Sync was built specifically to make the key products from the Blueprint Protocol available to UK buyers — without the $2 million price tag.

THE MOVEMENT BEYOND THE DOCUMENTARY
 
What's striking about the Don't Die effect is how it shifted the conversation.
 
Longevity used to be the domain of Silicon Valley billionaires. Bryan Johnson made it a mainstream conversation. Millions of people watched Don't Die and thought: I want some version of that.
 
Not the $2 million version. Not the 30 doctors version.
 
Just the basics. Consistently. Every day.
 
That's what the Bio-Sync Protocol is designed to deliver.
