Unless you are deficient, vitamins are just expensive urine.

sometimes, sometimes not

you could have a "normal," ie not deficient" level of B12 (~250) and folate (~7), but have an elevated homocysteine level.

for which, the treatment can start with B12+folic acid supplementation


this is just one example of many


for neuro pts, typically they want B12 levels >400 (or 500 or 600), even though Quest/Labcorp/etc say normal is ~200+
they might want vit-D levels ~50-100, even though Quest/Labcorp/etc say normal is ~30+

What kind you get?

I'm targeting reducing cholesterol and health.

So

Morning: Berberine, Curcumin Phytosome 1000mg, Creatine
Lunch: Vitamin K, D, Fish Oil, Ubiquinol
Evening: Berberine, Curcumin Phytosome 1000mg, Magnesium

All but the Ubiquinol are Thorne brand.

I typically was on the lower end of Vitamin D before I started supplementing.

I use the giant tub of Optimum Nutrition off Amazon and it's worked great.

The current jar I have is "ProSupps" brand Creatine Monohydrate - my son bought it when he was buying protein powder. The last one I bought was the "Bulk Supplements" brand on Amazon and it was fine too. I've read several places that unlike some supplements, "Creatine is creatine" so you should be fine with whatever as long as it gets good reviews on Amazon etc.

The one AgLiving06 recommended should be good - anything by Optimum Nutrition is high quality stuff.
