How much would you spend a day on just supplements alone?

I don't take too many supplements pretty much a Garden Of Life multi, 200mg ubiquinol x2, fish oil with over 500mg DHA, Jarrows Ultra Bone Up, 10,000IU vitamin D3 most days and 100mg vitamin K2 x2. At the most it probably works out to be $4-5 a day or $35 per week. Later I will be adding carbon60oliveoil yo the regime.

Cheaper than a fast food burger or some some barista coffees

So I think that's pretty good value and money well spent.

But I'm curious as to what other people spend every day on supplements and if the supplements outweigh the real food cost they eat

In my case the supplements I use cost more than the food I eat. However, with the supplements I've been able to get rid of symptoms of a severe PAD (intermittent claudication) diagnosed 7 1/2 years ago. Something declared impossible without a surgical replacement of my whole abdominal aorta by my doctors, and with a 30% 5-year mortality predicted despite all possible interventions in their view.

 

 

100mg vitamin K2 x2

 

Are you sure not having confused mcg with mg? Because that alone would cost me more than 200 bucks a month (incl. shipping and import tax), if I used the only product with such high vitamin K2 content: Koncentrated K. Of which I use only one capsule per day.
