Supplements for people ages 18 to 39
Below are choices the scientific literature supports for healthy people without unusual situations, like taking blood thinners, or claiming an allergy to vitamin C. Disclaimer states you must discuss any choices with your medical practitioner.
1. AREDs, once a day
2. Vitamin D, cholecalciferol – 2 to 5,000 iu . 500-1,250%
3. fish oil, 180EPA, 120DHA – 1g daily, or at least 2 servings of fish weekly
4. Resveratrol – 1 tablet daily
5. Mito-C – twice a day
6. Triumph – 1st, 2nd, 15th, 16th day of each month
PERHAPS:
1. NO Iron unless you are a woman who needs iron, but then it ought to be taken only during a period. Take an multivitamin with iron then. Or anyone when a doctor has found iron deficiency, but then get retested so you get just enough. Iron in excess generates free radicals and is harmful to long term health.
2. SAMe – 200mg daily – if you are feeling depressed, this is the most effective and safest antidepressant
3. Vitamin B12, cyanocobalamin – 1,000 mcg once a week – unless you eat meat often
4. Zinc (zinc gluconate) – only at first sign of a cold
5. multivitamin – only if your appetite has become much smaller and poorer
6. Vitamin B9, folic acid – 200 mcg Especially important for women who might become pregnant.
7. NO Calcium – it is hazardous, just get vitamin D and weight bearing exercise
