Serious Supplement Program

- Roger Mason

     

Here is a one page list of proven supplements everyone over the age of 40 should be taking. You can xerox this and hand it out to your friends if you like. Anyone over 40 should be taking about 20 supplements plus whatever hormones they need (see the hormone articles). That may seem like a lot, but every one of these will improve your health and well being. Please remember nothing makes up for a wholesome low fat, high fiber diet of natural foods. People are all too willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for toxic prescription drugs that just make their health worse, but balk at paying a hundred dollars a month for natural supplements to help them live longer and better. Instead of paying extortionate prices for after-the-fact health “insurance” programs, spend $100 a month on the following supplements. An ounce of prevention has always been worth a pound of cure.



beta glucan 200 mg, or 400 mg for the first year if you have an illness

CoQ10 100 mg and no less; 200 mg for the first year if you have an illness

Aside from a wholesome diet of natural foods and natural hormone balance, don’t take prescription drugs, exercise regularly, and fast one day a week on water only from dinner to dinner. Natural health is about diet and lifestyle, not Magic Supplements.
