From Edward Miller:

Most people are deficient in multiple vitamins and minerals, and you guys on the farm are no different. I speculate that you are deficient in iodine, B vitamins, selenium, carnitine, carnosine, and probably more. Also, as people age their levels of melatonin, DHEA, testosterone, coQ10, and many other things decrease. Some recommend trying to boost testosterone and DHEA. You can take DHEA pills just like melatonin, but it isn't as cheap... almost nothing is as cheap as melatonin.

As a side note, keep eating lots of turmeric, garlic, and other spices. Hopefully you will be getting lots of berries chock full of antioxidants soon. Beets, Kale, and other things you are growing are sort of super foods. It'd be nice to get some broccoli.

If you eat a lot of greens you probably get enough vitamin K.

Also, try to drink lots of green tea. The Life Extension Mix comes with green tea extract, and you can buy it separate, but there is nothing like a good cup of tea.

Poor man's supplements:

Melatonin - unbelievable cheap, sleep-improving, antioxidant, life-extending supplement!

Vitamin D - you spend a lot of time in the sun, but people have still been known to be deficient in sunny areas, and it is dirt cheap

Fish Oil - Anti-inflammatory, mood stabilizer, and wonder supp! LEF is selling it right now for 6.98 for 120 high potency pills

TMG - Cheap B vitamin which lowers homocysteine

NOW ADAM Men's Multivitamin - is usually considered the best poor man's multi, and has the proper zinc and magnesium levels for men.

Low Dose Aspirin - If you have a history of heart disease in your family, this is a cheap way to help it

Medium range supplements:

Carnosine - essential glycation-breaker, especially necessary during low meat-consumption periods... eggs and milk dont have it

Acetyl L-Carnitine - Awesome energy-boosting, life-extending, wonder nutrient! (especially during low meat consumption periods)

Lipoic Acid - Protects mitochondria... especially good to take with carnitine which revs up your metabolism

Piracetam - Safe intelligence enhancing amino acid which goes great with DMAE, a cheaper form of choline.
