Ultra Pure High Potency Fish Oil
If you have an excellent diet and avoid excessive omega-6 oils such as soybean oil, safflower oil, corn oil as well as hydrogenated oils and grain fed beef then you may need only 1 capsule or 1/4 teaspoon of high potency fish oil liquid per day. If you follow the Western diet which the vast majority of Americans do you probably need 4 capsules or 1 teaspoon liquid per day. While mercury is generally not a problem even with low cost fish oils there are many other toxic chemicals such as PCB’s that are present in many as well as problems with rancidity (oxidation).

Vitamin D3
If you get a lot of sunlight exposure on uncovered skin (while avoiding sunburn) you may not need to supplement with this very important vitamin. Most adults do not get much sunshine and may need to take 1000 IU or more per day. That is much more than the RDA of 400 IU. It is a good idea to get a blood test every 6 months if you are taking a large dose to be sure you are not taking to much.
Vitamins K1 and K2 (MK7)
These vitamins are important for proper calcium metabolism, to prevent osteoporosis and for proper blood clotting. A good amount to take is 100 mcg of K1 and 90 mcg of K2 (MK7) per day. The better form of K2 is menaquinone-7 which is extracted from natural sources and does not require the megadose levels of MK4.

Multi Vitamin and Mineral
Along with the standard B vitamins and trace minerals be sure to find a multi that contains all 8 types of vitamin E not just alpha tocopherol and vitamin D3 not D2. Also if it contains beta carotene it should include mixed cartenoids from a natural source and not synthetic beta carotene. We recommend Vitamin Code Multi by Garden of Life.
