Finding Your Own way: Supplements

Part 8: Supplements

At this point you may be wondering, Where do I start?  The answer is to first speak with your doctor and then start where you are comfortable.  If you are taking medicines, email us or schedule an appointment with your doctor before starting any new supplements.  If you are in generally good health, your doctor determines that there are no contraindications to your starting supplementation, and you are looking to do all that you can to move toward optimal health, getting started on the Big 8 (and possibly Vitamin D as well-get tested!) is a great idea.  It’s what I have been doing for years.  Short of that here are a few scenarios and recommended courses of supplementation.  Remember to always consult with your doctor first before starting any new supplement or medicine:

Scenario 1: I am interested in starting some supplements for anti-aging and improving my health, but I do not want to commit to a full regimen and I don’t want to spend a lot of money; I want the most benefit from the smallest investment:  


Polyphenol Nutrients from Pure Encapsulations (ensures all necessary vitamins and minerals)

EPA/DHA Essentials from Pure Encapsulations (lowers cholesterol)

Chiran Sencha Green Tea from O-Cha (EGCG for cancer protection)


Scenario 2: I am interested in taking all supplements which aid in the goals of anti-aging and optimal health, but only if the data for those supplements is sufficient to offer reasonable certainty of its clinical effectiveness:


Alpha Lipoic Acid from Pure Encapsulations (protects against inflammation of the brain)

EPA/DHA Essentials from Pure Encapsulations (lowers cholesterol)

Chiran Sencha Green Tea from O-Cha (EGCG for cancer protection)

Bio-D-Mulsion Forte from Biotics Research (unless tested to have normal Vitamin D levels for anti-inflammation and improved immune function)

CoQ-10 from Pure Encapsulations (reduces atherosclerosis and lowers blood pressure)



Scenario 3: I am extremely interested in the concepts of optimal health and anti-aging, and am willing to take everything that makes sense in pursuit of those ends, but I am a female/I have had cancer/I have a strong family history of cancer: 


Alpha Lipoic Acid from Pure Encapsulations (protects against inflammation of the brain)

EPA/DHA Essentials from Pure Encapsulations (lowers cholesterol)

Chiran Sencha Green Tea from O-Cha (EGCG for cancer protection)

Bio-D-Mulsion Forte from Biotics Research (unless tested to have normal Vitamin D levels for anti-inflammation and improved immune function)

CoQ-10 from Pure Encapsulations (reduces atherosclerosis and lowers blood pressure)

Polyphenol Nutrients from Pure Encapsulations (ensures all necessary vitamins and minerals)

Niacitol from Pure Encapsulations (relaxes and opens blood vessels for improved circulation)


Scenario 4: I am over 60 years of age and am not interested in anti-aging, but am worried about heart disease and osteoporosis:


EPA/DHA Essentials from Pure Encapsulations (lowers cholesterol)

OsteoBalance from Pure Encapsulations (provides calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin D, all in the correct ratios for maximum utilization and protection of bone integrity)

CoQ-10 from Pure Encapsulations (reduces atherosclerosis and lowers blood pressure)
