Multivitamin

“So like if you're on a GLP, you need to supplement with a multivitamin for sure and try to eat whole natural foods, nutrient dense foods. That means your nutrient deficiency rate will go through the really good. I mean, I'm talking somebody studies 90%.”

“the food matrix. So instead of taking a multivitamin, you would eat this bar and it would have a little bit of a better effect in theory. And so there was a bunch of small trials that were done. And there were beneficial effects on lowering inflammation, increasing HDL, lowering small dense LDL.”

“So it makes me feel terrible. So when people start taking a multivitamin that has all the synthetic vitamins in it and they feel terrible, they don't attribute it to the vitamin because they think they're doing something good for themselves. It's actually backfiring. We grew up on Flintstones, right?”

“Okay. They technically add B6 to that as well, but it only has to be a small amount. So in our practice, we're using a good daily activated multi, omega-3 and D3. If that's all that you use, you're going to get the benefits for longevity. Without all, again, I love the special ones, like the trimethyl glycine, the PQQ, like all those.”

“I know Steve Horvath. Yeah. Yeah. Steve discovered the epigenetic clock. Can a simple multivitamin mineral supplement slow down aging? This is awesome. Congratulations. Thank you. Congratulations. I'm very proud of the team. It's a small but mighty team that we really are really driven by mission.”

“Generally, if you're taking a lot of multi, what do you call it? Multivitamins, it's excessive and it can actually be toxic if you have too much. So vitamin C can be pro-oxidation, not antioxidant, if you take a lot continuously.”

“not antioxidant, if you take a lot continuously. So overall, I'm not for multivitamins. I do believe you should measure your vitamin in your blood. And if you're deficient, you should make sure you're not deficient.”

“straight. It was fine. It all ended up being great in any case. But yeah, okay. So spending too much money on vitamins, multivitamins, is one of the biggest wastes. What else? Well, at the risk of being sued, I would say... There's a big Q.”

“What is low? What is high? What is off track based on blood work, right? We try to solve this through food. But what this oftentimes looks like is a high-quality multivitamin, oftentimes fish oil. Now you have performance accelerators on the other side of that question.”

“being her normal self again. And did she have to come off the vitamin B? She only took it for three months. And then she did a multivitamin. And then eventually, almost everybody needs to be... Off the multivitamin completely. It is my belief that if all of this happens spontaneously in every other animal on the planet, then we shouldn't have to take supplements either.”

“a separate supplement. And keep in mind, there's a lot to be learned about multivitamins. For instance, many multivitamins say multivitamin on the front, but they actually have the equivalent of B50 in them. They have 50 milligrams of all these B vitamins. In fact, if you go to an expensive vitamin store, they put up the doses of Bs.”

“a multivitamin that seemed to work fairly well was the COSMOS study people may have heard of. It was thousands of people... Of older people. Of older adults. And they were given either a multivitamin or a flavonoid supplement.”

“doses of anything. And in that study, those who got the multivitamin saw changes in cognitive function that suggested some improvements. But that was literally just covering the bases, right? No massive doses, the most basic multivitamin.”

“So my eye is closely on that to see if that's going to be something to come up into play. And a multivitamin, you know, started with Flintstone vitamins as a kid, and I take a multivitamin a day as a safety net. I noticed that when I looked at your video in the interview you did with Dr. Ronda Patrick, a lot of the comments were from people in their 60s, 70s, and 80s.”

“whether Omega 3s, vitamin D, or a daily multivitamin can shift aging clocks. What type of exercise appears most effective for slowing epigenetic aging”

“for a clinical trial. In other words, you have a study where you apply, let's say, multivitamin for two years, and then you see a change in any clock. It could be a proteomic clock.”

“a grim age fountain effect, pheno age fountain effect, based on multivitamin use,”

“So, the larger, there's, you know, the larger trials, and there was three randomized controlled trials where these older adults were given a standard centrum silver multivitamin a day, every day. And it was, what is it, about 3.6 years for this trial.”

“and it's something that I do talk about a lot because I feel like it's a very easy, safe intervention that people can take a standard multivitamin. These have a variety of vitamins and minerals, trace elements that people are not getting from their diets. And so, they're kind of filling that nutritional gap. And...”

“Maybe to step back, if you tell an 80-year-old that a multivitamin will reduce his or her age by three months, they will roll their eyes. They will say, give me something that reverses my age by 30 years, you know.”

“But think of the effort you have to put into just taking a multivitamin, right? I think it's pretty great for that amount of effort, you know.”

“I just looked at it from the point of view as a consumer. Five years ago, you know, I wouldn't take a multivitamin. I looked at the literature. No benefit. I won't take it, you know. Now, so a person can now make their own judgment, you know.”

“I'll start maybe with the background. So we talked about these principal component based versions of clocks such as PC GrimAge that was used in the cosmos multivitamin study and anyway these are very reproducible.”

“We talk about omega-3, multivitamin, creatine I take a lot. By the way I love your podcast, I learn a lot from you”

“So take your multivitamin in the morning, not in the evening. Yeah, if if I-I-I have I have this dream that one day I have an AM vitamin and a PM vitamin, where like some stuff might be better at night”

“Avoid your multivitamin, probably, if it has biotin in it or biotin-containing supplements., and be hydrated to reflect your actual haematology profile correctly”

“from a mineral side, you know, you have, you know, magnesium, zinc, and the vitamin D3 are going to be three things that specifically on top of the minerals and vitamins that everyone's familiar with from multivitamins and what not are more difficult to get in adequate doses”

“And then the vitamin D it's fat soluble. Typically, you're going to have anything like a soft gel or something. And it's not always going to be at the dose you need in the multivitamins. It's just worth noting. So those are just some low hanging fruits that are, if you don't look to those as part of your micronutrient optimization strategy, like you could be overlooking low hanging fruit.”

“when do you incorporate them? I do take collagen every morning in my coffee. Lutein and zeaxanthin are in my multivitamin, so I don't feel like I need to take those really separately. And then benfotiamine, I haven't been taking lately.”

“is great. I don't really take care. I don't really take extra methylated B vitamins because I get it in my multivitamin. And then I also am taking creatine. And creatine has been shown in some studies to improve homocysteine because creatine is a major, major, major sink for, let's just call it, methylation groups.”

“I take a multivitamin, you know, there's a lot of trace elements and minerals in there that I may or may not get from my diet. But it's kind of like an insurance that I'm at least going to get some of these you know minerals and elements”
