Mindsip insights from this episode:

Ensure high B vitamin levels to maximize omega-3 brain benefits

The brain benefits of omega-3 supplements are only seen in people with high levels of B vitamins, which are thought to be necessary to transport omega-3 into the brain.

Utilize magnesium taurate for daytime energy and glycinate for nighttime sleep

The speaker takes magnesium taurate in the morning for its general benefits and magnesium glycinate at night specifically to improve sleep quality.

Avoid high-dose vitamin D to protect bone density

Contrary to popular belief, high daily doses of vitamin D, such as 4,000 to 10,000 IU, can actually decrease bone density and weaken muscles.

Create personalized multivitamins to meet specific health needs

Unable to find a multivitamin that met his specific requirements, the speaker created his own supplement called Microvitamin, which is now on its seventh formula version.

Limit omega-3 intake to 1 gram to reduce heart risk

Doses of omega-3 around 4 grams can increase the risk of atrial fibrillation by 69%, while a lower dose of about 1 gram provides heart benefits while minimizing this risk.

Stop vitamin E supplements to reduce cancer risk

Supplementing with vitamin E is a bad idea as it offers no benefit for preventing cardiovascular disease or cancer and may even increase the risk of prostate cancer.

Take a tiny dose of melatonin for optimal results

The ideal melatonin supplement dose is around 300 micrograms to match the body's natural production, as the long-term effects of popular high doses are unknown.

Reduce wrinkles by 18.8% with hyaluronic acid supplements

According to a 2021 study, taking hyaluronic acid supplements can decrease wrinkles by 18.8% by helping to keep the skin plump and hydrated.
