This protocol is based on Andrew Huberman's publicly documented supplement routine, shared across his podcast and published interviews. Dr. Huberman has not reviewed, endorsed, or approved this content. ProtocolHub has no commercial relationship with Dr. Huberman or the Huberman Lab podcast.
Andrew Huberman takes seven daily supplements and one optional prescription peptide — all designed to optimise sleep, focus, testosterone support, and long-term neuroprotection. Every compound he uses is available in Australia, though some require a prescription and the costs differ significantly from U.S. pricing.
This guide breaks down every compound, what it costs in AUD, whether you need a script, and where to source it legally in 2025.
The core daily stack (OTC — no prescription)
These four supplements form the foundation of Huberman's routine and are available over the counter from Australian retailers.
1. Athletic Greens (AG1) — $3.30/day
Huberman's foundational supplement. AG1 is a greens powder that provides a broad-spectrum vitamin, mineral, and adaptogen blend. Available direct from Athletic Greens Australia at approximately $99/month on subscription.
- Australian access: OTC, ships direct
- Cost: ~$99/month (subscription)
- Evidence level: Moderate for micronutrient coverage; individual ingredient doses vary
2. Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) — $1.50–$2.50/day
Huberman recommends a minimum of 2g EPA per day for mood, inflammation, and cardiovascular health. In Australia, high-quality concentrated fish oils are available from brands like Nordic Naturals, Ethical Nutrients, and Bioceuticals.
- Australian access: OTC, pharmacy and online
- Cost: ~$45–$75/month for therapeutic-dose EPA
- Evidence level: Strong for cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory effects
3. Vitamin D3 + K2 — $0.50–$1.00/day
Huberman takes 5,000 IU D3 with K2 daily. Most Australians are deficient despite the climate. Available from any pharmacy.
- Australian access: OTC
- Cost: ~$15–$30/month
- Evidence level: Strong for bone health and immune function
4. Magnesium (Threonate + Bisglycinate) — $1.50–$2.00/day
Huberman uses magnesium threonate (Magtein) specifically for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, supporting sleep and cognitive function. He takes it 30–60 minutes before bed.
- Australian access: OTC — threonate form from iHerb or specialist retailers
- Cost: ~$40–$60/month
- Evidence level: Moderate for sleep quality; emerging for cognitive benefits
OTC stack subtotal: $190–$300 AUD/month
The extended stack (prescription required for some)
5. Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) — $1.00–$1.50/day
Huberman uses tongkat ali for testosterone support. He recommends 400mg of standardised extract daily. Available OTC in Australia from brands like Nootropics Depot (imported via iHerb) or local suppliers.
- Australian access: OTC, though high-quality standardised extracts may need importing
- Cost: ~$30–$45/month
- Evidence level: Moderate for testosterone support in men
6. Fadogia Agrestis — $1.50–$2.00/day
Huberman pairs fadogia with tongkat ali for luteinising hormone support. This is harder to source in Australia — most options ship from the U.S.
- Australian access: OTC but limited domestic supply; import from iHerb or Nootropics Depot
- Cost: ~$45–$60/month
- Evidence level: Emerging — limited human data; animal studies only
- Note: Huberman has acknowledged the limited evidence and recommends cycling
7. NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) — $2.00–$3.00/day
Huberman takes NMN for NAD+ support and longevity. In Australia, NMN was rescheduled by the TGA in 2024 — it now requires a prescription when supplied as a therapeutic good, though some supplement-grade products remain available through specific channels.
- Australian access: Prescription recommended for therapeutic-grade NMN; some OTC options still available
- Cost: ~$60–$90/month
- Evidence level: Moderate for NAD+ elevation; longevity data still emerging in humans
The optional peptide layer (prescription required)
8. Ipamorelin + CJC-1295 — GH peptide stack
Huberman has discussed growth hormone peptides as an optional addition for recovery, sleep quality, and body composition. Ipamorelin + CJC-1295 is the most commonly prescribed GH peptide combination in Australian telehealth clinics.
- Australian access: Schedule 4 — requires AHPRA prescription from a telehealth clinic
- Cost: ~$150–$250/month including clinic consultation
- Evidence level: Moderate for GH secretion; clinical protocols well-established
- How to access: Book a telehealth consultation with an AHPRA-registered prescriber. Most clinics require baseline blood work (IGF-1, metabolic panel) before prescribing.
Full stack with peptides: $340–$550 AUD/month

What to prioritise if you're on a budget
If you can't afford the full stack, Huberman himself has said the priority order is:
- Sleep supplements first — magnesium threonate before bed
- Omega-3 — the strongest evidence base of any supplement in the stack
- Vitamin D3 — cheap and nearly universally beneficial in Australia
- AG1 or equivalent greens — convenient but replaceable with a good diet
- Everything else — tongkat ali, fadogia, NMN, and peptides are all optional optimisations
The minimum effective stack (items 1–3) costs approximately $100–$165 AUD/month.
Key differences for Australians
- Pricing: Most supplements cost 20–40% more in Australia than U.S. pricing due to import costs and GST
- NMN regulation: The TGA rescheduled NMN in 2024, making therapeutic-grade NMN prescription-only
- Peptide access: GH peptides are Schedule 4 in Australia — they require an AHPRA prescription and must be dispensed by a licensed compounding pharmacy
- No direct equivalents: Some U.S. brands Huberman recommends (Momentous, Thorne) ship to Australia but with significant shipping costs. Local alternatives exist for most compounds.
