Dr. James Nicola Antonio provides an in-depth look at the various supplements he takes and the reasons behind his choices, emphasizing a balanced and moderate supplementation approach. He uses cod liver oil from Rosita for its rich content of vitamins A and D and omega-3 fatty acids, supplemented with additional fish oil from Life Extension and krill oil for added EPA, DHA, and astaxanthin, which benefits skin and eye health. For essential minerals and vitamins, he takes selenium from yeast (SelenoExcell), which optimizes selenium status, vitamin K2 to prevent arterial calcification, and trace minerals from Life Extension that include boron and manganese. He ensures bone health and proper mineral intake with Gerald Steiner water for calcium and magnesium. Pycnogenol (French maritime pine bark extract) is used for its anti-inflammatory properties, while black seed oil also benefits inflammation. Vitamin D is supplemented when sunlight exposure is insufficient, and a B complex from quinoa sprouts guarantees adequate B vitamins. The speaker also takes eye support supplements containing lutein and zeaxanthin to maintain eye health. Overall, Dr. Antonio stresses not to oversupplement and often reduces intake frequency to three times per week, except for omega-3s, which he takes more regularly.
