I'd like some advice please...
It's time I reduced my supplement intake, as I think I take far too much stuff and economically I'm struggling to afford it all! I want to more than half my supplements, whilst still protecting my health as best I can, particularly my cardiovascular system. I'd like to reduce the number of supplements I take to around 8.
Here's what I currently take daily, some in the am and pm, some just in the am:-
Now Adam multi Vitamin
Kyolic aged garlic extract
Doctors Best Na-RALA
Doctors Best Acetyl L Carnitine
Doctors Best Meriva curcumin
Doctors Best Theanine
Healthy Origins Grape seed extract Mega Natural BP
Jarrows EPA/DHA balance
Healthy origins Astaxanthin
Healthy origins Lycopene
Doctors Best Co- enzyme Q10
HPF Cholestene red yeast rice
Doctors best vitamin D3
LEF Super K formula
Country life resveratrol
Jarrow Ashwagandha
Jarrow Rhodolia
Natrol melatonin 3mg time relased (before bed)
I have recently stopped taking:-
Doctor's Best 5HTP & St John's Wort (due to starting trazodone)
NOW EGCG
I am currently medically prescribled trazodone 50mg for my sleep after Zopiclone stopped working and diazepam 5mg a day to try and calm my anxiety.
I am a 42 year old male with a history of GAD, with health anxiety and panic disorder which has led recently to chronic insomnia and tinnitus. Could any of the above supplements be aggravating these conditions? And is there anything that could help instead?
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thank you...
