Recommend supplements

Question
Hello, I am a 57 year old male who takes the following medications daily: anafranil 50mg daily-clonazapam 2mg at morning and night for OCD.  Glyburide 2.5mg for type 2 diabetes. levothyroxine 50mcg for thyroid supplement, zetia 10mg for cholesterol, omprazole 20mg for acid reflux, uroxatral for BPH, One aspirin 325mg. I also take a Centrum silver multi-vitamin.  My question is can you recommend any other supplements or vitamins or herbal supplements that would make me feel better or possibly live longer. Any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate. Stephen

Answer
Stephen-

Number one I would not suggest anything for you without you consulting your doctor first to see if there is any reason you should not take them with your current meds. I am not a MD and have no real medical knowledge of your current pharmaceuticals.

That said the FIRST thing I would do NOW!! if I were you would be get a full blood profile done with your complete hormonal profile including Total testosterone, free testosterone, GH, and IGF-1 levels. I have two current client that are 66 and 70 and both have went he way of Hormone replacement therapy and within months have got here youth back alongside a great diet and training plan based in resistance training.

It is very likely most of everything you have can be correct with anti aging meds and fixing a bad diet and adding on training.

After that the two supplements I recommend for everyone are fish oils from 10-15 grams a day and creatine monohydrate (more for its muscular, skeletal, and cognitive anti aging properties then performance)but again check with your MD first on those and get that blood profile done and see where you stand. Get your eating and training in line with the way you wish to feel.
