Since I was sending notes from lectures that I give to colleagues today I thought I’d include notes on my typical ten, the top ten, supplement recommendations for anti-aging and hormone therapy support for the usual hormone customer. I do get a lot of questions on fish oil and it’s in my top five list of nutrients that every man, woman, and child should use as a supplement. The supplements we use are from cGMP manufacturers which ensures the highest possible quality.
Our on-line store will soon list these products, ones we are confident in recommending because they are the real supplements people need, all medical/pharmaceutical quality, have nutrients in the most absorbable and biochemically active forms at doses that really mean something. It’s not enough to just have an important vitamin or mineral, you must take one that actually gets into your bloodstream and then into the cell to do it’s thing and that only happens if you use the right stuff at a dose that is high enough. Athletes have much greater metabolic demands so they often need more of just the basics.
-
Fish Oil (omega-3s): 6000mg to 9000mg per day
-
Vitamin D (D3 form only): 5,000 IUs per day as a capsule or 1, 2, or 3 drops of a high potency liquid under the tongue
-
CoQ10: Only in crystal-free form with nano-particles dissolved in oil capsules. 100mg to 400mg per day.
-
Magnesium: 300mg to 600mg per day, up to 1200mg per day for serious athletes of a special form called magnesium glycerinate. Magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate are basically useless. They’re cheap, but useless.
