DON'T DO THIS IF YOU'RE OVER 50!!!

DR. ERIC BERG
About this episode

Today, I’m going to tell you about the best and the worst supplements to take as you age.


Let’s start with iron supplements. Our bodies do not have a good way of eliminating excess iron, which can damage the liver. Too much iron can increase your risk of infection and also deplete zinc. Donating blood can help eliminate excess iron.


If you have anemia, the best sources of iron are red meat, liver, grass-fed liver pills, or spleen extract.


Many people consume too much calcium, which can build up in the arteries and kidneys.


Synthetic vitamin A can cause damage to the liver, osteoporosis, and increased intracranial pressure.


Best vitamins to take as you age:

1. Vitamin C

2. Vitamin B3

3. Magnesium

4. Vitamin D

5. Vitamin K1

6. Vitamin K2


While most synthetic vitamins should be avoided, synthetic vitamin C can be beneficial under certain circumstances.
