Every 5 years. Was 0 at 45. 6 at 50. Given my family history, 6 actually lowered my 10 year CVH risk, so "better then expected," I guess?thibodeaux wrote: ↑Sun May 04, 2025 3:00 pm Geez...his first heart attack... I imagine you're getting a scan fairly regularly?

Is this still your same stack, or have things changed?thibodeaux wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 8:52 pm SUPPLEMENTS
My supplement “stack” has morphed a bit over the years; mostly I’m looking for immune system improvement, sleep improvement, exercise performance, and mental function (nootropics). I have one of those old-person pill calendar things that I load up every weekend. I take the AM side first thing when I get up and the PM side last thing before bed. Now, because I’m fasting all morning, I recognize that the absorption of some of these (like the vitamin D) might not be so great. But c’est la vie.
Morning
D3 10000 IU (immune)
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) 500mg + Alpha Lipoic Acid 200mg (nootropic)
Lysine 1g (immune)
Rhodiola 500mg (nootropic)
B-complex (general/nootropic)
Night
Fish Oil (immune)
Zinc-Magnesium-Aspartate (ZMA) (sleep/exercise)
Boron 9mg (exercise/testosterone)
Resveratrol 200mg (general/anti-aging)
K2 MK7 100mcg (general/immune)
Zinc 200mg (occasionally) (sleep)
Melatonin 30mcg (occasionally) (sleep)
Do these supplements work? Nobody seems to know. There’s some research that supports each of them, but this kind of “science” is iffy at best. They are all very safe; ask your doctor though, especially if you’re on medication. Vitamin D seems like a no-brainer: everybody is deficient, it improves your immune system and maybe testosterone, and has essentially no downside to taking it.
