Supplementing
Whassup!!!
Here is a list of all the different supplements I use, their purposes and how I use them.
I endorse the products I list here but I am not collecting any income by doing so.
Sources
I get supplements from different sources based primarily on availability and prices:
- Amazon, www.amazon.com
- Amazon usually has what I need at a reasonable price.
- Swanson, www.swansonvitamins.com
- Swanson has an amazing array of products, their own and other manufacturers, and excellent prices.
Seeking Health and Life Extension products are available from Amazon and Swanson or direct from their own websites.

Enzymes
A substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.
Enzymes can be used a couple ways For health. Taken with food, usually at the start of a meal, they aid digestion. Taken on an empty stomach they have a systemic effect on our health. Either way they help break down chemicals so we can better assimilate them or eliminate them.
Our gut and microbiome produce enzymes that aid digestion. But their ability to produce enzymes can degrade due to several factors.
I started taking digestive enzymes to improve digestive efficiency, not for digestive upset.
Country Life Maxi-Zyme - a good all purpose digestive enzyme. Betaine HCl - an acid that helps breakdown protein and minerals. There are many brands available.
