There is a short list of supplements that I think eveybody (and I

mean everybody) should be on:

 

- a good multivitamin (hey, even the AMA is starting to recommend

this)

- Vitamin D 1000 units/day

- Vitamin C 1000 mg/day

- Fish oil 1-4 grams/day

 

For women approaching menopause (and women in general):

- Calcium 1000mg/d

- Magnesium 400mg/d

 

There are many, many other things people could take for various

reasons and i am sure there will be discussions about the " bare

minimum " , but I think this list is reasonable and economical.

 

You should also get certain screening tests such as homocysteine (for

which you need to take B vitamins), bone density (for which other

minerals need to be added), ferritin (levels >100 can cause problems

so go donate blood to bring it down), CRP, VitD levels, and a few

others. These aren't required, but knowing that you have good levels

of these will let you stay healthy, or fix any problems before they

happen.

 

Noticed I left out cholestrol. While its important, the standard

treatment is a statin drug. While high LDL is not good, many people

think statins should be used as a last resort to bring down

cholestrol.

 

And of course, be sure to discuss any supplements you take with your

health care provider.
