Supplements

Supplements. What to take? What is effective and what isn't? Recently a report of studies as to the efficacy of certain supplements have come to light. Seems saw palmetto, glucosamine-chondroitin, echinacea, St. John's Wort, were no better than placebos. What do I take? A high dose megavitamin, CoQ10-150mg, Omega 3 fatty acids-2g, alpha lipoic acid-100mg, DHEA-25mg, calcium-2g, vitamin C-3g, gingko biloba-180mg, and glutathione-500mg. All of these have been found to be efficacious. I do take the glucosamine-chondroitin because there are some questions as to the generalizability of the studies to the real world. This is always a conundrum in scientific research.
