Supplement obsession.

I'm also taking the same supplements with a slight difference in vitamin B. It is quite helpful in improving energy levels in body which improves focus and overall lifestyle. I often take vitamins which are helpful in increasing energy levels, here sportsinside.co.uk/blogs/magazine/vitamins-for-energy you can see the list of them. The thing that matters most while taking vitamins is to consult with a specialist as it minimizes the chance of side effects of these supplements.

I think it is very judgmental to say supplements are a racket. I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis and was advised to take a calcium and vitamin D supplements. So I take calcium and boron, plus vitamin K2 which helps absorption of calcium. I also take vitamin D and Omega 3.

Goodness, what a lot of supplements everyone takes. I prefer to get my nutrition from food and other natural methods e.g. I spend a lot of time outdoors allowing my body to manufacture vitamin D naturally. I also make a point of eating food containing probiotics such as live yoghurt, kefir, and kimchi.

I do maintain youthful oestrogen levels by having a little pellet placed under my skin just twice a year. That protects my heart, stops me from getting osteoporosis, arthritis, vaginal atrophy, UTIs, prolapse, Alzheimer’s and loss of libido plus much more.

I take D, C, magnesium and marine collagen daily, and sometimes probiotics. I think these are fairly standard supplements, nothing too weird there. I eat healthily too, and walk a lot, with a bit of yoga thrown in.

I'm now in my early 60s and a pretty healthy specimen, but I never take that for granted.

I have no idea if the supplements make a difference, but I like taking them!

Oh, and I'm also on HRT (Evorel Conti patches currently). Ten years and counting.

... and, depending on the kind of oestrogen, increases your risk of breast cancer.

I take vitamin B complex, vitamin c High dose, vitamin D3, vitamin E, Omega 3 all on the advice of my specialist of my auto immune condition. Tbf I already took most of them anyway.

I take d mannose,a probiotic,also vitamin d during the winter months,i have also started to take a sea buckthorn capsule once a day hoping it will help with vaginal atrophy too early to tell if its helping yet,when you start to add up the cost of supplements it becomes quite expensive,I do eat healthy foods and usually go for a walk most days.
