Vitamins I take (My Stack) 2025

It’s a simple, yet significant discipline to start improving yourself, create order, and build the future. Taking vitamins daily is the “keystone habit” upon which all other health practices are built.

Daily Supplements:

Adults: take daily with food. For optimal effectiveness, separate into 2 batches taken with 2 different meals (breakfast and lunch, for example).

2 Nordic naturals ultimate omega soft gels

Fish oil. The Nordic Naturals are purified so we don’t have to worry about mercury. I also don’t get “fish burps” or upset stomach with these like I have with other fish oil brands.

Here’s the one I take:
Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega, Lemon Flavor – 180 Soft Gels – 1280 mg Omega-3 – High-Potency Omega-3 Fish Oil with EPA & DHA – Promotes Brain & Heart Health

4 Garden of Life Vitamin Code Whole Food Multivitamin Capsules

Look for whole food supplements instead of synthetic vitamins. Not only will you get better absorption, you’ll also avoid known carcinogens like DL-Alpha-Tocopherol (used as synthetic Vitamin E). You also want to avoid taking Folic Acid – and take Folate instead.

Here’s the one I take:
Garden of Life Vitamin Code Whole Food Multivitamin for Men

Women’s version:
Garden of Life Vitamin Code Whole Food Multivitamin for Women

More info and alternatives:
If you prefer to take only 2 tablets per day, these are a viable alternative and provide similar nutrient levels:

Garden of Life Organics Whole Food Multivitamin for Men 40+
Note: The “40+” part is mostly marketing, you can take it if you’re under 40. It has the same base but adds Pumpkin, Turmeric, Lycopene, and Pomegranate (good for prostate and heart – Men of all ages). It also bumps down the B12 (500% RDA instead of 1000%).

If you don’t want the prostate and heart support, here’s the Non-40+ version.

2 Juvenon tablets

Dr. Andrew Weil (and co) found that if you combine Biotin (300mcg) , Alpha Lipoic Acid (400mg), and Acetyl L-Carnitine HCL (1,000mg) – it has incredibly powerful anti-aging effects. Supports mitochondrial health for optimal brain, heart, and vascular health.

I’ve wanted to improve on this by using R-Alpha Lipoic Acid instead, but haven’t found the right components and dosage off the shelf, so I take Juvenon daily, since I know it works.

Here’s the one I take:
Juvenon® Cellular Health – Tablets

1 Source Naturals Pycnogenol 50-100mg tablet

Pycnogenol (French maritime pine bark extract) is a powerful antioxidant that’s been shown to drastically improve nerve and blood vessel elasticity. I’ve personally seen it stop diabetic retinopathy in my father and prevented him from losing his eyesight. It’s also used to heal nerves and improve blood pressure.

I take it as a preventative to support a healthy brain, nervous system, and circulatory system. So I take 50-100mg/day. If you have diabetic retinopathy or neuropathy, dosage is 150mg/day (as tested in the studies and that’s what worked for my father).

Here’s the one I take:
Source Naturals Pycnogenol 100 mg Proanthocyanidin Complex

2-4 Kyolic aged garlic capsules

Garlic has incredible natural medicinal properties including cardiovascular health, immune function, digestion, inflammation relief, and detoxification.

I take 2-4 capsules a day (I also eat fresh garlic as often as I can 😊). Years ago I had a chronic cough. I started taking 4 of these a day and the cough went away – so I’d also recommend it for respiratory health.

Here’s the one I take:
Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract Formula 100

4 Solaray Magnesium Glycinate 350mg capsules

Magnesium deficiency can cause anxiety/stress, sore muscles, high blood pressure, restless leg syndrome, poor quality sleep and more. Taking it can help with these and also give you a sense of calm.

Magnesium Glycinate is one of the best forms to take. Some other forms of magnesium don’t absorb well, and some even cause a laxative effect! You don’t have to worry about that with Magnesium Glycinate.

I also spray magnesium oil (separate article coming soon) underarm which works as a natural deodorant and helps supplement magnesium as it absorbs through the skin. The spray also works well directly on sore muscles.

Here’s the one I take:
Solaray Magnesium Glycinate, New & Improved Fully Chelated Bisglycinate with BioPerine, High Absorption Formula, Stress, Bones, Muscle & Relaxation Support

Tips

“If you fail to plan you can plan to fail.”
So set yourself up for success by preparing your vitamins a week or two in advance. Package your batches into snack bags or pill organizers so you can bring them with you. That way you always have them available with you during a meal or snack.

I’m currently using these so I can take one compartment with each meal, two times a day. This 4-block lasts me 2 days (4 batches).

These also work, if you prefer:
