### For years I've been interested in the supplements people take and was glad to see this topic (I've had a backlog of digests to review). I edit a lot of research into vitamin D3, for instance. Here's my regimen, and I'm happy to discuss further on- or offlist. (It kills me that I can't italicize or use small caps or subscripts in this plain-text message.)

Multivitamin (Dr. Tobias Adult)
L-Glutathione reduced
L-Glutamine
Quercetin with bromelain
Berberine + vitamin C + Zn
Cayenne pepper
Marshmallow root
N-Acetyl cysteine + Se + Mo
Cloves
Apple cider vinegar
Grapefruit seed extract
N-acetyl-D-glucosamine
Coenzyme Q10
Calcium citrate + vitamin D2 + Mg + Cu + Mn
Oxaloacetate + vitamin C
Glucoraphanin (from broccoli seed extract) + myrosinase
Cinnamon bark
Gamma-linolenic acid + ginsenoside + withaferin A
Omega-3 fish oil (pretty much the only animal product I ingest)
Resveratrol
PQQ disodium salt
Curcumin
Niacinamide
Vitamin D3 (10,400 IU/day)
Vitamin K2
AMPK (CaCO3 + hesperidia + gynostemma extract)
Senolytic activator (weekly; quercetin + phosphatidylcholine complex + theaflavins)


Suggestions always welcome. For some of those, I can accept that Sheldon Cooper may be right and that I'm just getting very expensive urine. But my serum level of vitamin D has been stellar for over a decade. As a pale redhead, I don't get much sun exposure to synthesize my own. I keep my doctor informed of all supplements I take. But with so many variables, I have no way to gauge how effective the regimen is, if at all. Most likely, my exercise (lots of Les Mills RPM [basically spin class] and BodyPump [weight training], plus running/hiking with the dog) and my nutrition are benefiting me the most.

I'd like to see about taking metformin, but I'm not sure exactly how to go about getting it as a nondiabetic. I doubt my doctor would prescribe it purely to satisfy my curiosity about it.

Wishing everyone a great day,
Gabe
