The Last Supplement documents the designer’s months-long pilgrimage through stress management, gut renovation and resistance to the high-carb industrial food complex. Leonardo’s twelve apostles are replaced by the actual supplements encountered along the way, while Christ remains at the center as the original symbol of healing and resurrection. Around him: probiotics, precursors, powders, GlyNAC, and the Holy Trinity of glutathione bioavailability: S-Acetyl, liposomal and LipoMicel.

For the designer, the search currently ends with LipoMicel glutathione, placed appropriately close to the source of resurrection.
