Ever wonder what is truly worth spending money on for immediate and long term health? Well, I will tell you what I stock in my office and take myself and why I don't bother with anything else.

 1. Omega-3 fats = Direct fighter of the inflammation that leads to heart trouble and cancer. Forget the multivitamin if you only can afford one or the other. This is your big ticket item.

2. Curcumin (part of the spice turmeric) = Anti viral, anti bacterial, GI regulating, anti metastatic, anti cancer and the strongest anti-inflammatory herbal known so far. It can be taken in 1000 mg up to even 5000 mg if loading. Absolutely no side effects. It has 10 times the antioxident value of Vitamin C and E. Look for bioavailable type only, as this increases blood levels 300% and is thus much more worth the cost. Longvida is one brand, but more are out each day.

 3. CoQ10 = Yes, you've seen this before, but what does it really do? It goes inside your cells and prevents damage at the DNA level. Also significant for heart health and tissue repair.

4. Vitamin D = I recommend finding a product that includes this in at least 1000 mg doses while combining it with Omega 3 fats. Vit D is better absorbed with fats so this is perfect synergy.

Take these four things and you've covered all your bases. If you eat a good deal of veggies, fruit and lean meats, you don't need a multivitamin, but it does not hurt. Stick to the "big 4". Strong evidence exists for taking these four.
