I’ve always considered CoQ10 (https://bit.ly/4kXhIAQ) to be one of my core supplements, but not all CoQ10 supplements are created equal. New research shows that NTFactor® lipids improve the utilization of COQ10 by more than 200%! That’s why my recommended CoQ10 supplement is NTFactor® with CoQ10.

Many of you have been asking for a short list of the basic supplements that I take and would recommend as a starting point for those looking to take control of their health. I tried to keep this simple. I asked myself: What are the essential elements of a basic program that everyone could benefit from?

The result: The Intelligent Medicine Starter Kit, my list of supplement must-haves. I consider this package the foundation for all my other supplement protocols.

You’ve heard me talk for years about the importance of including fish oil in your supplement regimen—but not all omega-3s are created equal. I’m excited to share that I’ve made the switch to a formulation that tops all the rest: Big Bold Health’s Omega-3 Rejuvenate (https://bit.ly/3IxQEKH) is a premium blend of oils from wild-caught Alaskan cod and sockeye salmon. Using a low heat extraction technique to extract the pure amber oil that contains all-natural and abundant full-spectrum omega-3s, Omega-3 Rejuvenate preserves the natural goodness of the fish, so you get maximum benefits in every soft gel.
