None.  I believe if you eat a healthy diet supplements are not needed.  Not that I always do!

Re: What supplements are you taking?

I alternate with Andrew Lessman Essential One and CQ10 every other day.  I also take his Zinc and Vitamin C to help my immune system, especially in winter.  My Vitamin D is included in my multi Essential One.   I'd like to try his hair, skin and nails supplement to see if it would make a difference at all but I haven't yet.  I don't want to "overtake" either.

Re: What supplements are you taking?

I What am I not taking would be a shorter list. The most I order on HSN is Andrew's vitimins.  All through the day and 3 at night. I don't take any other brand of vitamins. Love listening to his explainations of each vitamin. Good information. So far blood work great. 

I have the usual old age symptons, but nothing like some younger than me, maybe in their 70''s.  I do exercise everyday. Have been for 65+ years.

I believe that is what has gotten me to where I am health wise. 

The vitamins are a plus to add to my diet, which is OK, but not strict.

I have lived longer than my parents, grandparents, husbands.

My Grandmother lived to 86, my dad 82.  I hope to be able to make 90 and still have the health and to take care of myself as I can now.

No outside help yet. I think a lot of people are living longer today. Moving ones body if you can is important and a good outlook.  

Good diet helps.  No fast or process foods.

I take a multivitamin in the morning and potassium at night.   No Rx meds.  I think that's pretty good for 64.

Re: What supplements are you taking?

I really like the Andrew lessman vitamins but I agree if you take the 'essential 1' I watch what else I take.

My dr told me that most people should take 4-5,000 units of vitamin d. Not sure if that's because we live north (lack of sunshine). But you can ask to be tested (blood test). I was tested by my gynecologist and told to take 5000 units a day.

 

I also take vitamin c - I think it really helps your immunity for colds etc but I'll have to look in to zinc.

I periodically take the hair skin and nails vitamin and the ultimate eye support vitamin.  I really don't take them tho if I take the essential 1.

 

Whatever you decide I highly recommend Andrew lessman! Never have any stomach issues from taking his vitamins.  Also, I have a family member that's a nutritionist that told me all vitamins aren't equal - Andrew lessman is one of the brands she recommends.  Made in USA .

@goldensrbest.  Why is this important for the community to know?  Kind of a nosy, intrusive question with no purpose.

 

As somebody pointed out, if you eat a healthy diet you don't need to waste money on supplements.
