Recommendations

Below are some recommendations on vitamins and supplements, please check with your doctor to see if any of the items below will interfere with your medication.

What should I take?

1.  A multivitamin/mineral supplement
2.  Omega-3s
3.  Antioxidants
4.  Vitamin D3, there are many conflicting reports on the intake and serum levels. Best recommendation I've seen is 5,000 IU a day to reach a serum level of 50-80 ng/ml or 35 IU's of Vitamin D3 daily per pound of body weight. 

How much should I take?
It depends on your overall health, age and goals. Link to general nutrition recommendations.
