I've been supplementing spasmodically for about 10 years experimenting with different pills and potions... But now I would like to get organized and build the ultimate supplement regimen and share insights.
Please suggest what I am missing.... or doing wrong!
b12 (cyanocobalmin) 50 micrograms once daily
ginko biloba (max strength) x 3
high polyphenol olive oil
lutein (eyebright) + (max strength) x 3
multibionta (half tab to cover my ass) (multivitamin)
olive leaf (max strength) x 3
pomegrannate 250 mg x3
pycnogenol 60 mg x 3
reservatrol 500 mg once
rosemary (fresh herb x 2 bushy sprigs daily)
rutin 500 mg x 3 day
selenium 50ug once
spirulina once
turmeric (spice)
vit c (250mg) once daily
vitaberry 2 tabs (multivitamin and antioxidant)
wheatgrass 1 table
zinc gluconate 10 mg once
mixed spices (1 table garamasala)
I'd drop the following :
ginko biloba (max strength) x 3 --- no harm done but I don't believe it does anything.
pomegrannate 250 mg x3 --- no harm done but probably doesn't do anything.
vit c (250mg) once daily --- Unless you're diet is absolutely horrible you get enough anyways.
wheatgrass 1 table -- don't think it has any benefit.
B12 -- you are already taking 2 different multis that likely already have an excess of this included.
also I'd suggest you drop:
vitaberry 2 tabs (multivitamin and antioxidant)
multibionta (half tab to cover my ass) (multivitamin)
Replace these with a quality low potency multi-vitamin such as:
Vimmortal or OAR multi-basics
Megadosing certain vitamins is more likely to cause you harm than do any benefit...
Also don't get suckered by the whole antioxidant crazy. There is strong evidence that many fruits/vegetables high in antioxidants are good for you but not the antioxidants by themselves... It is far better to just eat the whole fruit/vegetable.
I would also recomend that you take fish oil (or some vegetarian substitute) for Omega 3's/DHA and otherwise avoid oils high in polyunsaturates. Avocado oil is a great substitute. Also coconut oil for low temperature uses <100C. Some might disagree on the coconut oil. You can find plenty of discussion on these forums on it if you search.
Vitamin D3. I'm surprised you don't have it inculded already!
