My Current Supplements

I take one capsule/day of each of the following supplements, with the exception of strontium and lutein (two capsules/day) and D3 (one capsule three times/week). 

I do not take any supplements, except strontium, on Sundays to prevent getting too much of any one of them. I do not take strontium on Sundays if I feel I have not had sufficient calcium-containing foods that day. Vitamins, minerals, and other supplements taken in excess can cause problems.Too much calcium from supplements can contribute to the formation of kidney stones and has been implicated (inconclusively) in heart disease. Try to get most of your calcium from food. Excess amounts of water-soluble vitamins are eliminated in the urine. Supplemental vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin, increases urinary oxalate concentrations, but whether an increase in urinary oxalate elevates the risk for kidney stones is not yet known. Those predisposed for kidney stone formation may consider avoiding high-dose (greater than or equal to 1 g/day) vitamin C supplementation. I am not predisposed to kidney stones but take only 500 mg/day vitamin C in pill form.

The fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E and K. They are soluble in organic solvents and are absorbed and transported in a manner similar to that of fats. Excess amounts of fat-soluble vitamins accumulate in the liver, adipose (fat) tissue, and skeletal muscle. Because these vitamins are stored for long periods, dangerous levels can build up. Excess intake of fat-soluble vitamins is more likely to cause you harm than excess intake of water-soluble vitamins. For these reasons, I do not take extra vitamin A, except for the 750 mcg in my multivitamin. I do not take any K2 and only the 80 mcg K1 (as Phytonadione) in my multivitamin. I do take 400 IU natural vitamin E. I do take vitamin D (1000 IU) in my multivitamin. I recently added another D3 supplement with 1000 IU/capsule, but I am only taking it three times per week. If I add up the 1000 IU/day for six days/week in my multi and the 1000 IU for three days/week in the separate D3 supplement, I get 9000 IU vitamin D/week, or about 1286 IU/day. Unless you have a vitamin-D deficiency or insufficiency, as shown by a 25(OH)D blood test,1000 to 2000 IU/day of vitamin D should be plenty.
