  5. Bovine Colostrum
  6. Liver supplement
  7. Magnesium citrate
  8. D-Ribose
  9. Creatine
  10. Whey Isolate
  11. Fish Oil
  12. Ubiquinol

For sleep:

  1. GABA
  2. L-Theanine

If I catch an illness

  1. High Dose of Vit C(3-10gms)
  2. High dose of Vit D(60K IU daily for a few days)

I'm happy to field your questions as well, if any.

nice, i have a few Qs

what do your serum D levels sit at at 10k iu - mine hover in the 90 mg/ml level at 10k is

are you taking benfotiamine for nerve support or for fighting AGEs (or both)

are you taking NAC due to any liver issues or just as a general-purpose support supp?

any reason for ubiquinol over coq10? just absorption?

My vitamin D is at 150, and I'm good with it. My LDL cholesterol is high as well (150), but low triglycerides (<70) and high HDL(60+). I aim for high cholesterol and low triglycerides.

Benfotiamine is necessary for the absorption of all the other B vitamins; B1 is a powerhouse that powers metabolic processes in ATP. Its essential to tackle fatigue and fight illness. People focus a lot on B12 but forget with B1, you wont get any Bx as that's the foundation vitamin and the first B vitamin discovered.
Forgot to mention I take Vit A(Retinol Palmitate) when I fall as its crucial for IgA(mucosal) immunity.
Ubiquinol is more bioavailable, have heard CoQ10 is an end product so better to take Ubiquinol for getting better CoQ10.
NAC is a great antioxidant. It breaks down mucus, keeping the lungs clean.
I take milk thistle for the liver, which I forgot to mention above.

i am going to do a post on my cholesterol at some point, my LDL was always quite high and i couldn't get it into range. i wasn't super bothered but becuase i couldn't get detailed labs on the sub-particles i decided to get it into range, just in case.

any thoughts on the links between vitamin A and risk of some cancers? (haven't looked deeply into this, but seen headlines pop up)

also, isn't it weird nac is a banned supplement in the US?
