Supplements are Supplemental. Do it wisely.

Food for thought on supplementation:

Dont take Vitamin E in the alpha tocopherol form by itself, it is out of balance and depletes the other forms of vitamin E and makes it a negative.

Magnesium is far more important to supplement than Calcium, most people are magnesium deficient. Low magnesium causes calcium to accumulate in the soft tissues.. not good. People have been talking about the 2:1 ratio of calcium to mag.. Thats bullshit. Take magnesium by itself at night, it will help you sleep and help your muscles recover faster. I dont take a calcium supplement at all. 

B complex vitamins are best in the activated forms, Swanson makes a nice supplement of activated B complex.  This is especially helpful for those with MTHFR defects.

Selenium is important for a great deal of things, especially your thyroid function, converting T4 to the active T3 is part of its job.  Methionine bound selenium is a good way to go, better yet is to eat Brazil nuts, the richest selenium source on earth.

Sulfur is important to joint and nervous system health, skin, etc.. way off most peoples radar, but super important. Eggs, beans, protein foods.

Iodine is important to thyroid, nervous system, immune, and other things. Its also great against fungus and fungal infections.

Most people will benefit from a high quaility multi mineral formula far more then a cheap synthetic multivitamin, (I dont take those)


Molybdenum is often overlooked.. eat chickpeas, and beans. Molybdenum is needed to handle sulfur.

Vitamins cant replace foods, science is still discovering things in foods that are beneficial and putting those things in pills, however those things were already in the foods to begin with. Tomatos have always had lycopene long before anyone knew or cared what lycopene was... eat the foods!

If you supplement do it wisely.
