I take magnesium because the soil is deficient so it doesn't get into our food.
I take Vitamin D3 because we lose our ability to make it from sunshine as we age, and I live in the Great White North.
I take a lot of Vitamin C because it helps me recover from the new construction in my office, which led to formaldehyde poisoning!
I take kelp/spirulina because I use sea salt for the trace minerals and the good taste and want to make sure I get my iodine.
I take NAC as a super-antioxidant before bed, because I ate junk for a looooooooong time and I'm sure my body could use the extra help.
I take arctic root because it is a popular herb in Scandinavian countries for getting through long, cold, dark winters.
I was skeptical of supplements, until I started trying different ones... and felt the difference they made to my mood and well-being. I've let many of them go now that I've reaped the benefit and feel my body is on an even keel. And I'm open to new ones.
