Love your videos. Taking notes now on supplements. Following Keto diet now. Me and husband have lost 15 lbs. SO FAR. More to go. Less bloating and joint pain. Thank you for caring.
I dont know how to go back to my previous questions for the answers. gallagherkelleys@gmail I started fasting the 16/8 right away. Hasnt really fiven me hunger pangs. I did only start keto about 3 weeks ago. 1 year ago I started a high protein diet and lost a lot of weight. I like the keto better because I feel more full. How will it affect me if I continue the 16/8 IF even though I did that right away? I need to lose 30 more pounds.
KenDBerryMD are all of these you mention here needed daily and long term ... I WISH I’ve only spent hundreds on supplements... been more like thousands and I am so confused on what we need long term. All I know is I feel like hell
Does seizure medication deplete coq10 as well? My husband takes a total of 6 seizure pills as well as a beta blocker and bp pill. How many mcg would you suggest...
Would be really helpful to have specific product recommendations rather than “ you need 50 mg of magnesium “ etc. I heard most vit pills don’t even get absorbed and pass right through. I still have little clue on what to actually buy for better health. So many adds etc I don’t trust.
@@paolac.1678 anyone who takes supplements should spend a few more bucks and subscribe to Consumer Labs (consumerlab.com), they will inform you of adulterants in product, potency and accuracy of label claims.
As a retired medical transcriptionist, thank you for speaking clearly. If humans are doing your transcription, they love you. If done by computers, they could care less. Anyway, my question is about cinnamon for blood sugar control. Your views? Thank you and congratulations on the birth of your baby!
Dr. Berry. Every time I hear you speak makes me want to move close to you and have you as my doctor thank you for all the knowledge you bring to us all.
Dr. Berry what abiut copper, as zinc depletes it. I have been advised to take 1200mg calcium per day for osteoporosis, I am taking Jarrow bone up that includes 1000 calcium per day. Am I doing the right thing
3:00 I love the humor you throw in. I've learned a great deal about nutrition watching your videos. That sarcasm makes it feel like you're getting these tips from an old friend.
Great list Dr. Berry, I would to suggest 2 others. For K2 - wk7 version has a better half-life than wk-4 (I take both - Liver is the best), current studies of K2 are of higher doses (0.2mg+). Not sure why this one wasn't considered essential, most people do not get enough Boron in their diet. It is involved in many processes, and taken in moderate amounts with your suggested list will provide many benefits (Strong Bones - No Osteopenia, Reverse Arthritis, Increase D Serum levels, and Testosterone)
The best way to get nutrition. nutrition ivs and nutrition injections myers cocktail iv, nad+iv, vitamin d injection, gluadathione iv and coq10 injection. way better then supplements. they been aroundd since the 1950s and thats what pro athletes and rich people use year round to stay healthy.,,
I already take all of these but the single biggest effect for me, having psoriatic arthritis, was standardized turmeric with black pepper. My little fingers used to stay sore almost as if broken and my other finger joints were frequently inflamed and painful but when I started taking turmeric the pain left my hands and never came back. I can lift weights, write, etc. with zero pain. Love your channel Dr. Berry!
@@jackstewart2504 I take 3 capsules @500 mg each as a maintenance dose every 24 hours. Make sure you get the 95% curcuminoids standardized version with bio-Perine (black pepper) to help with absorption. Turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory! When I started taking it, I took one 1500 mg dose every twelve hours and within a few days the pain was gone. Since it's just a spice, common yellow curry, you can also cook with it if you like curry flavor. Really good in a creamed chicken and rice sauce. Good luck!
Magnesium, boron, iodine & selenium = ½tsp Epsom salt, small pinch(100mg) Borax, 6 drops of a 2% Lugol's solution & 2x Brazil nuts......and ½ hour of sunshine + 1cup kefir
Zinc intake over 50 mg will start to deplete copper. To much copper will start to deplete zinc. They need to be taken in a balanced dose. To much zinc can be toxic.
sorry to hear that. you need another good source of vit d. cod liver oil capsules are a good source. you would also then get your omega 3 and vit a for the day. also grass fed butter (kerrygold) would give you vits A D E K
What about potassium supplements? I know that we can get potassium from leafy greens and salads, but I can't eat too much of them due to IBS. Recently I started eating a few salads and leafy greens a day, trying to get healthier, and I had the worst IBS attack in years! Thank you Dr. Berry for taking the time to do all these videos.. you're really helping a lot of people!!
Thanks for the confirmation lol. I've been taking most of the supplements you mentioned since my early 40s. I'm 51 now and I feel great. 10 years ago I was 50 pounds overweight, had elevated blood pressure and a terrible lipid profile, but after both of my parents died within 2 years, from cancer and heart disease, I decided to get my sh*t together. Below is the list of supplements (and the brands) I currently take each day. I sometimes change brands if I learn about a better option in my research. I try to only take the highest quality supplements available, based on lab analysis and customer feedback. They can be expensive, but it's worth it to know it's pure and effective and not just some synthetic garbage that you'll pee out in 10 min. 1. Multivitamin - Xtend-Life Total Balance Premium 2. Magnesium Complex - MagEnhance 3. Coenzym Q10 - Qunol Ubiquinol (ubiquinol is the better form of CoQ10 and is FAR better absorbed in the body than regular CoQ10) 4. Omega 3 - Sports Research Total Omega 3 5. Vitamin D3/K2 - Sports Research 6. Vitamin C - American Health Ester-C with Bioflavonoids 7. Niacin - Solgar Vitamin B3 8. Probiotic - Now Foods 10, 25 billion CFU
@@blueblack1997 I try to take only the most respected brands, which can get expensive (I spend about $120 /month on supplements), but it's well worth it to me. Honestly, my diet isn't great. I do try to avoid processed foods altogether, but I don't deny myself the foods I love, even the fatty unhealthy ones. I am trying to improve my diet though, but even as it is, my vitals are still good. Yes I forgot to mention that I do take Probiotic-10, 25 billion CFU from Now foods 1 or 2 x daily between meals. I edited my original comment to include brands I prefer, which changes periodically based on new research and online feedback from people who use them.
@@dannymartinez8522 I am male, but we're all different so you may need different supplements or dosages than me, depending on your current health and other factors.
Dr. Berry, I have learned sooo much listening to you. Appreciate your straight forward style and use you as a reference for "all things"! I was told to take Lipoic acid to relieve my feet burning at night. I am 67, weigh 118/5' in height- not diabetic. Following a ketogenic/carnivore diet- for the most part. Thanks in advance for your help!
Also the Lord Jesus Christ will lead and guide you on your journey to staying healthy 😊process foods too much sugar and gluten trans fat do little for our health. I am not a big fan of red meats as study show the link to most chronic illnesses.
So far I have kicked nicotine, refined sugar, gluten, alcohol, now I'm after lactose. It's a long road! I was wondering . . . . . is it only the lactose in those grains or is it the whole thing? I was in an accident that left me with a pretty nasty spinal injury and the label in-valid ! When the pain hits my brain . . well, say no more. But . . . when it does I can't eat, sometimes for days. So I have gotten used to fasting. I'm too poor for the meat . . . so ditto for that. What you say makes a lot of sense. I'm also after Inflammation as I think that is what slows me down the most. Needless to say (especially to you) the whole lot has led me straight to Keto . . . I like your genuine honesty and personal style. I am taking on board what you recommend (that I don't already do) and I'm looking forward to even less pain. Thank you for your invaluable knowledge.
3TapSnu 0ut Probiotics help a lot in restoring the gut. You probably took a lot of medicines for the accident which can damage the gut and create lots of sensitivities, weakness and toxins in the body.
I love all your messages, my emergency room doctor died of leukemia so I don’t have the access that I used to have but I am a great reader later in my life and you, Dr. Berg and Dr. Mendel are pretty much all I listen to. I thank you for all your hard work and discoveries. I have Neuropathy and I do take the vitamin B 1 and alpha Lipo acid 600 mg seems to be working fine with the tingling and sometime sharp pains in my feet. I have no diabetes and 84 1/2 I actually have no other ailments. Very very fortunate very very good bloodline as well parents live to be in their 90s grandparents late 90s. So I know some of that works. Also realize we had lots of healthy foods growing up with big gardens and grandparents that I own beehives and cattle ranches. I know it plays a big part. OK thanks again.
Just take 3 things... 1) one daily every man's multivitamin 40 + (new chapter brand) 2) Antarctic krill oil 2000 MG ( microingredients brand) 3) Probiotic All-Flora (new chapter brand) I tried to get the best produced vitamin probiotic and krill oil I can find at a reasonable price that I can afford, new chapter seen the stand out because they ferment their products and it comes from my whole food source and actually meets or exceeds the minimum recommended dosages on the important stuff without adding too much other junk into it... the krill oil this is a new brand for me and I'm still seeing if it works well if my body I'm 2 weeks in on it but overall it seems like a decent brand and fresh oil.... as for the probiotic I'm not sure what all Flora means but I'm going to give them a shot haven't started it yet, but I'm curious your thoughts on these two Brands and these three supplements that I take... Is there better ones out there? Are these dosages enough for the average 40 year old not on many prescriptions ( antihistamine and Pepto acid reflux medicine)? It's also been recommended to me by others non-medical professional types to take A Time release vitamin C... not too sure about that one.... I only eat once a day and it's whatever the wife makes me usuallyI only eat once a day and it's whatever the wife makes me.. we all have a small snack for lunch... not much more to say but thought I would ask and see what you think
Dr Berry you dont answer every one of the questions in the comments as you claimed you would in this video, it would understandably consumer all of your time.....You are an excellent source of health information and we appreciate your channel but smoke and mirrors to encourage viewer engagement with your videos with a flase notion that you'll answer all questions is beneath you as you are a highly intelligent and very credible person on so many levels. UA-camrs all know viewer engagement helps the channels and algos but please make good on your pledges..So many questions here have gone unanswered.
Thanks for your effort Doctor, but I think you forgat one of the most important elements which most of the people are deficient in which is Iodine, which can lead to some serious problems!
ah yes i just mentioned that too, they have to learn which one to take & how to dose etc... also. some meds & situations may not mix well with iodine as it seems to raise blood pressure & heart rate
Sea weed or kelp is good for iodine. Any fish or shellfish from the ocean will contain iodine. Also if you live near a coastline iodine shouldn’t be a concern.
I was miserable, exhausted, depressed, aching all the time, and didn’t want to do anything for months. Happened upon the role of C In fatigue and started taking it. Within two days I was back to my normal energy levels. I knew I was not eating vitamin C rich foods but wow, I was a mess.
I felt like sheet 20 - 30 years ago, process of elimination came up with "chronic fatigue" ie they couldn't find anything. So I have been reading about this stuff for years and agree with your list. Now @ 76 I am off all prescription medicines. Systolic BP around 130 or a little above but stable so I let that be. I am surprised you didn't include any "brain enhancers" though. Having a wife with with AD, diagnosed 5 years ago and still at home I have an interest. Probably the one you could have included is curcumin [bacopa and ginko also help] and changed the magnesium compound to magnesium L-theonate [expensive though]. I also cook in coconut oil which has a high fuming point. But an excellent list. I hope people hear the message re D3 and K2. Osteo is a terrible thing, it condemned my beautiful MIL to a wheelchair and eventually stroke when, knowing what we know now, it could have been prevented.
I'd advise to do research on insulin resistance, mct oil and Alzheimer. You can find UA-cam's with specific info on this subject. The disease is also called diabetes 3.If your lady became insulin resistant, her brains lack glucose fuel. In that case her brains may live up with another fuel, mct oil. Osteoporosis: use boron, magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (MK7). Proteins are also required for stronger bones. Pls let me know if I can help.
I’ve been on the full carnivore diet not keto for 13 days now been following my blood work my testosterone has doubled since starting this diet went from low 200’s up to high 400’s and man do I feel better !!! I was eating what most would consider a healthy diet according to the SAD diet no sugar low carbs but suffered with low T for years it was all I could do to get off the couch once I got off work now I get home go outside work in the yard and I’m finding pleasure in life again I even feel more attractive it’s really a miracle , I know it sounds like I’m selling snake oil but I can’t say enough about this diet
Love your videos. So informative. When do you take your supplements and what combo's should be avoided? Everyday we hear of more and more supplements we should be taking as we age. Vitamin C, L- Lycine, E, Niacin, Selenium. When does it become too much? Thanks
I'm taking collagen, biotin, grape seed complex, glucosamine potassium an I'm 65yrs old. I have arthritis and eat low carb also take a multi vitamin. I want to thank you for all the great information!!! 🙂
Dr. Berry, it is 200 micrograms of Vitamin K2 MK7, not K2 MK4. If you take the MK 4 version, you need about 3 or 4 milligrams to equal 200 micrograms of MK7 K2.
mwdickens K2 from MK7 Natto. This video explains it. Dr. Berry dud a review on her book and gave it a thumbs up 👍 ua-cam.com/video/Y_pa7AR7l6s/v-deo.html
Been reading a lot about vitamin d causing atherosclerosis in artery's; esp if a smoker. There was a study that clogged rats aorta in only 7 days taking vitamin d.
Dr Berry, does K2 increase the chance for a blood clot like vitamin K does? I have a blood clot history and was told to avoid vitamin K... Thank you so much!
When I was on Warfarin, I was told to avoid foods and supplements with vitamin K because it "thickens the blood". If you are on a medication that is affected by vitamin K then definitely steer clear but if you're a normal person then it shouldn't hurt you and should actually help you. K1 and K2 work well together. Green leafy vegetables contain K vitamins.
Thank you Dr Berry for sharing this information. I immediately ordered COq10 for my husband and myself. I didn’t realize that I had been taking the wrong type of K2, but I have now corrected that problem.
Hi, should we avoid taking vitamins that contain soybean oil, corn oil, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide? Thanks for the wonderful information.
Dr. Berry, it is 200 micrograms of Vitamin K2 MK7, not K2 MK4. If you take the MK 4 version, you need about 3 or 4 milligrams to equal 200 micrograms of MK7 K2. Most K2 supplements available at amazon or Walmart are the MK7 type (made from natto, fermented soy beans).
Yes Texarkana, I believe you are correct. I agree with you that what Dr. Berry said was wrong. In addition, I've heard MK-7 is the superior form of Vitamin K2 to take (for absorption). Not sure why he favors MK-4.
I take both, K2-MK4 has a shorter half life (maybe 3 or 4 hours) in the body but because you start with a bigger dose, you still have quite a bit after six half lives. MK7 is touted because it has a much longer half life and because it is more expensive, therefore it must be better. I believe MK4 is what you get from cheese and that may be why Dr Berry advocated it.
I would be very interested in the collagen powder or pills information. The look into the products available it looks like there is the types, hydrolyzed versus regular, not to mention the sources of the collagen. Apparently each type has a particular purpose, marine(fish) is higher quality source, and hydrolyzed is the easier form to absorb into the body, the type I have found is in conflict of whether it is actually applicable.
Dr. Ken Berry,What is the name of the good probiotic supplement that you recommend for people like me who have eczema.When ever I have any probiotic from milk like yogurt or capsule (I took just one capsule) with lactobacilli my eczema flares up and becomes much worse.I have purchased but not yet tried a probiotic called Align distributed by Procter and Gamble Inc. which has only one probiotic: Bifidobacteriumlongum 35624 TM. 1 x 10^7 cfu / capsuleI don't have any intestinal problems according to my family doctor, except I tend to have hard stools if I don't add a few table spoons of cooked wheat bran to each meal I eat.I have found the vitamin D3 in doses of about 5000 to 8000 international units per day and 3000 to 6000 international units of omega 3 capsules have begun to clear up my eczema rash and dry and flakey skin on the back of my hands, forearms, back of my neck and shoulders around my neck, and a few small patches on my back and upper arms.Thank you very sincerely for your advice.Lawrence RodriguesPhone 416 293 3867email: LAJBR1@BELL.NETADDRESS:59 HOLMBUSH CRESCENTSCARBOROUGH ONTARIO CANADA POSTAL CODE: M1V 2Y8
I have bone on bone knee issue. I was getting steroid shots every 3 months to take down the swelling which also caused pressure pain. I started to take organic sulphur crystals (Happy Body) .5 to 1 teaspoon mixed with iced tea every day. No more swelling and no more needles. Didn't fix the bone on bone knee but took away the pain. My question to you is, can you do a video on this and is it safe to take every day? The things I read said it comes naturally in food but gets processed out. Thanks in advance.
I was ready for new knees when I found an exercise specialist that taught me how to build up the muscles around my knees. I did standard leg exercises with an assist, like a cane, with warm-ups (active stretching) and cool down after (static stretching), and rolling all leg muscles (foam roller, massage gun, and/or rolling pin.) I swim and/or bike ride weekly. I am 74 and play tennis several times a week. I still see my specialized trainer twice a week for workouts and I am doing this on the same bone-on-bone knees the surgeon said I should have replaced.
A supplement no one is talking about is lithium. I started taking this for foot neuropathy and began noticing a significant improvement in my memory. Would like Dr Berry's comment on this supplement.
If you’re taking lithium. You need to have your blood drawn and checked every 3 months to ensure something and to avoid risks. My psychiatrist was adamant about this. And other medical professionals aggressively suppported this practice.
Hi Dr. Berry, I love your videos since I've started the ketogenic diet! What about Potassium? I thought I heard we should take it on keto. But unfortunately I don't remember who I heard it from. I haven't started yet but I did purchase a bottle today. Thank you for all the information you provide to all of us!
Jeanne McKinney ~ I can't remember which doc I heard it from (Phinney, Westman, or I was thinking it was Dr. Berry, which is the reason I'm here today looking for that video), but when on keto you need more than twice the rda for sodium (5,000mg); 4700 potassium (I drink two zipfizz each day and try to get the rest from food); and I can't remember the recommended amount of magnesium -- again, the reason I'm here. Unfortunately, most potassium supplements are in 99mg capsules and you'd need to take a handful every day to get what you need. No-Salt or Nu-Salt is a good source of potassium but measure carefully. Potassium is one of those things you can get too much of.
A retired bariatric MD friend of mine says the following yesterday (4-19-2019): "ketosis pathophysiologically works same as diuretics. Depleting form the kidneys not only water but for life essential minerals like Kalium (potassium). My life-long experience is that one out of 100 patients, under normal conditions, are depleters of Kalium naturally. Lab results like 2.8-3.2 mmols per liter can occur (min is 3.5). You can imagine when those patients are put on diuretics or ketosis ( the same stuff) they lose more potassium and eventually can end up in cardiac arrest. 30-40 years ago, Dr. Lynn wrote a book titled "Last chance diet:" Home made remedy for a strict low carb diet.. 15 people around the country died from cardiac arrest.!! I am amazed, here in Prague, same is going on, without mentioning any info concerning mineral depletion. They routinely putting patients on 20-30 grams carbo diet without any fear. I just cannot believe it. The ketogenic diet must be under a physician's control and properly monitored. " So, Dr. Berry, you have said you take Keto Chow Electrolytes and other minerals, but in this video, you never document how much of each per day and do not say how you personally verify that you are not getting too much or too little. A yearly wellness check blood test might be too late to find out one has overdone a potassium supplement or has not taken enough. I found out that mayo says there are "no RDA or RNI for this mineral. However, it is thought that 1600 to 2000 mg (40 to 50 milliequivalents [mEq]) per day for adults is adequate. Lack of potassium may cause muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, mood changes, or nausea and vomiting. Injectable potassium is administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor. Some forms of oral potassium may be available in stores without a prescription. Since too much potassium may cause health problems, you should take potassium supplements only if directed by your doctor." They go on to list foods that contain potassium but the list is not very keto friendly. With Cronometer one can get a summary of totals from food and supplements if one logs what one eats each day. Maybe you could do a video on iodine and potassium. Supplement amounts, testing, symptoms.... Sidebar: Keto Chow 1/2 teaspoon contains Sodium 125mg Potassium 130mg Magnesium 45mg Chloride 390mg My daily potassium, based on daily cronometer logging, ranges from 100 to 2000 with (2000 days when I eat alot of kale chips and guacamole in one day). Adding Keto Chow to my water never gets me near 4700 but I could use 2000mg an use that as a target to round out with Keto Chow based on food eating that day.
My guess is the most important thing is to take the supplement. If you make things more complex, they may be better but after a while many people are likely to give up because they made too difficult for themselves.
Thank you so much for your videos. Do you recommend taking all supplements together or with certain foods? I know you said magnesium at night and vitamin D3 with fat (in another video). Thanks so much!!😊
I have a couple of big questions here. There was no address of Vitamin C during this...its in most multi vits so probably not much of an issue. However, the timing of taking vitamins and minerals is not addressed either. I intermittent fast...so can I take my dailies during that...or do I wait till I have my first meal of the day? And am I breaking my fast taking these? Thank you for your kind consideration. I appreciate your time. Perhaps, this could be the subject of a new video?
You don't break a fast by taking vitamins and minerals. There is no energy source in them unless you take something like a protein supplement. If you do take supplements while fasting I'd be sure to drink a full glass of water with it or you may experience some stomach discomfort.
Eating a completely Vegan diet what supplements other than the 7 listed should I be taking on the daily? Love your videos I get to learn something new from every single one. Thank you!
I personally supplement my vegetarian diet with at least 8 forkfulls of high fat meat on almost every meal 🤣. Sorry. It is a bad joke, but I couldn't resist.
Thanks for the recommendations on supplements. Now we need advice on RELIABLE supplement companies! There are too many nutraceutical/supplement companies that sell fraudulent and/or overpriced products. Can you please recommend some trusted companies?
@@Tumblemark Thanks for the reply. I checked out Life Extensions. It looks like most of their products contain maltodextrin, modified food starch, and soy- just to name a few. Soy is probably the most unnecessary ingredient they have included. I wish I didn't have to give you this bad news.
@@LakerLife It's not actually bad news. The substances you mention are excipients; they are included in very small amounts to make sure the active ingredients flow through the encapsulating machinery and make it possible to deliver accurate and reliable amounts in the final capsules. Some are also preservatives and ensure that the capsules hang together when you want them to and break apart when you want to absorb them. The actual amounts are miniscule, especially when you compare the amounts you would get in your normal diet. They are the same excipients that are found in prescription drugs, so they are highly regulated. All except soy. Like you, perhaps, I completely avoid soy, but I have never seen it in any of the supplements I have ordered from Life Extension. They also sell a few soy supplements, so I suppose there's a market. I look at soy as phytotoxins. The market isn't me. You should be encouraged that Life Extension lists all their ingredients, including excipient details. Try that with Centrum supplements, made by Pfizer. They keep excipients hidden and unlisted, but you can be sure they are there. I guess they think that revealing them may scare customers. Life Extension also has many articles about their products, and they list related peer reviewed scientific research papers. If you join you receive a monthly magazine with interesting articles, though it also pushes various supplements. If you have questions, give Life Extension a call. You can talk to someone who knows what they are talking about or can transfer you to someone who does and who can counsel you without pushing product. It's part of the service that distinguishes them from other supplement companies.
Thanks for the info. I am 65, in good health and take no meds at all. I take most of what you mention here, with the exception of K2/MK4, which I will begin. I also take Hyaluronic Acid (330mg), tart cherry (465mg), krill oil (500mg), ubiquinol (100mg) and b12 (1500mg). Any thoughts on these? Thanks!
skip supplementing not really effective do coq10 injections, gludathione iv, myers cocktail, vitamin d injections, if you dont your just gonna have nutrition deficiencies and have lots of health issues. pro atletes and rich people do those year round thats why they're always healthy and not sick. nutrition ivs and injections is the secret to being healthy. not talked about cause there too effective they cure pretty much almost all health issues. high doses they last awhile in your system optimal levels same day, does not take serveral months like supplement and only 30 percent absorbtion. nutrition ivs and injection 100 percent absorbtion through blood stream and no side effects like supplements can
Any thoughts or suggestions on the correlation between supplements and sleep quality on a keto diet? Thank you for your youtube channel and easy to follow descriptions. I have been passing them on to friends and family and they are seeing the benefits of keto.
When I hit the (Amazon) link for Vitamin K, I saw a combo Vitamin K2 and D3, made by Divine Bounty. Would this be a good alternative for the individual Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 supplements you noted?
I have gastroparesis and have had it for over 35 yrs. it was first thought to be IBS but it persisted and worsened. By the early 1990's I was not keeping food down and the nausea was after every meal. diarrhea and malnutrition was also occurring. I finally got diagnosis in 1992 by a gastrointestinal doctor who did a endoscopy after 12 hours of fasting. I had not eaten since 6 the evening before and the food was still there making me very ill. I was given propulsid and it worked for years but then it was taken off the market so I got a gastric bypass in 1999 which was a huge change. I then fought a deficit of many vitamins showing up in my blood tests. Over many years I added enzymes, probiotics and prebiotics and eventually gastric acid. I take many supplements to bring these levels up now. They are always just above normal and no higher. It seems to be all I can accomplish. My stomach is deteriorating over time and my sources of protein have slowly disappeared. I am now down to chicken, pork, turkey, nuts and seeds, beans and milk products. I can't tolerate seafood, egg yolk, beef, game meats, or soy. I can only eat 2 oz of protein at a time and take two rounds of enzymes to be able to do that. I am still fighting to keep food in my life. I cook everything from scratch - cannot used boxed foods - too many preservatives and my stomach does not like them. after seeing this, i will add more omega3 and co q10 and ad in k2. thank you
Same question i have. Do I need to take all the supplements during the feeding window? Some of the pills have very minor amounts of calories (10 or less)
Hi Kelli, taking supplements won’t break a fast per se, but be sure to read the directions for taking them, as some of them (magnesium for example) should be taken with food to avoid stomach upset. So if you’re prone to stomach problems, it would be best to wait until you’re done with your IF to take. Hope this helps.
Not a doctor but take the ones that are gel tabs during your eating period. They tend to have a small amount of soy oil as a filler and it's best to take them when your insulin is already going to be rising. Also, some vitamins are water soluble and others are fat soluble.
As per Dr Jason Fung in his Complete Guide to Fasting book..pg 243.."Talk to your physician about whether these meds need to be continued during your fast. Also, you can try taking your meds with a small serving of leafy greens, which is low in calories and may not disrupt your fast." Also, I am pretty sure I read somewhere that the max calories you can consume on a fasting day is 50 calories, such as if you want to add a smidge of ghee or coconut oil to your coffee.
Dr Berry, love your videos; I currently take all of the supplements you listed in your video, and some others. What about these? NAC, Milk Thistle, Pantetheine, Vitamin E complex, Spirulina, Chlorella and the inevitable Vitamin C. Thank you
Can you take these supplements without food, I do intermittent fasting and my first meal is around 2pm. So could I take them in the mornings or should I wait until I eat?
Hey Doc, I wonder if you have an updated version of this list? I have been reading the ingredients on these and they have seed oils in them. Recently we have learned how unhappy these oils can make our bodies (inflammation) Anything to worry about here?
At 8:50 you advise to choose a B Complex based on a formulation that has 1000mcg of B12. The Nature Made B complex in the link at the bottom has 6mcg of B12 which is rated at 250% of daily value. Upon further sleuthing I found your video on B12 deficiency, and there a B Complex is linked that has 900mcg of vitamin B12. encouraged enormous
Question: is CoQ 10 something I should be taking (as you explained here) if I am on Warfarin? I have to be careful what I take because it can be dangerous for me. Are there any others on this list I should not take while on Warfarin? Thanks...this was VERY helpful and informatice.
Hey Dr. Berry! Excellent video, as always! Could you please clarify the statement you made regarding Vitamin K? You mentioned that MK-4 is preferred, but I thought that MK-7 is better absorbed, especially when combined with the synergistic effects of a cholecalciferol supplement. In your description, you also provide a link to a Vitamin K supplement in MK-7 form, not MK-4, so I’m a little confused! Hope to hear from you, and thanks again! Ryan (RN)
Mk7 is the natural form, mk4 is the synthetic form and has half of the half life and only stays in the body about 4 hours. Mk7 is better from my research. Nobody is perfect, I’m sure the good doctor misspoke lol
Hi Dr. Berry! Could you please explain why you recommend MK4 over MK7? I work in the supplements section of a health food store, and my co-workers and I have been reading as much as we can about K2. It is really confusing. Most people we study recommend MK7. My best understanding is that MK4 attaches to triglycerides and doesn't stay in the system as long as MK7 and that MK7 attaches to cholesterol. Either way, the supplement is manufactured from bacteria. I can't remember what the bacteria feed on for MK4, but for MK7, they feed on natto, sometimes chickpea. Anyway, the whole topic is confusing, and I'm beginning to form the opinion that nobody really actually knows much when it comes to this topic. If you wouldn't mind sharing what you know, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Great video thank you! I am following the Keto Diet and have heard that Potassium is important. Would you recommend a potassium supplement? Many thanks
Well sir, I do take everything you mentioned plus a whole lot more....what you neglect to mention, (a whole lot of doctors do) is that the elderly so often do not digest food as well anymore thus not getting the nutrients that someone 40 or 50 do. I really do wish that when doseages are given that fact was taken into account. Thank you.
Thankyou for recommending Supplements I take quiet a few myself it is important to supplement with what we do not get in our foods.. Thanks for making this video Dr Berry Appreiciate your time explaining the need to take supplements whilst doing Keto :)
Yeah, it doesn't seem to help me sleep. Mine is prescribed. In combination with keto, maybe now it will help., Only been on this for two days. I'am hopeful!! We'll see it's now or never!!!
Thank you for the video. In 2022 is their any supplements you would add or remove from the list? Edit: Also would you need to take a multivitamin as well if you were supplementing with all 8 of the above?
Thanks Dr Berry. Started following you about 2 wks ago. Lost 30 pounds with your help so far.
Love your videos. Taking notes now on supplements. Following Keto diet now. Me and husband have lost 15 lbs. SO FAR. More to go. Less bloating and joint pain. Thank you for caring.
Wow 30 lbs in 2 weeks? How much did u weight when ustarted?
I dont know how to go back to my previous questions for the answers. gallagherkelleys@gmail I started fasting the 16/8 right away. Hasnt really fiven me hunger pangs. I did only start keto about 3 weeks ago. 1 year ago I started a high protein diet and lost a lot of weight. I like the keto better because I feel more full. How will it affect me if I continue the 16/8 IF even though I did that right away? I need to lose 30 more pounds.
Love your video, very instructive! On the subject vitamins, how about vitamine C and R Lipoic acid?
I don’t take any medications I’m 36 and started Keto 3 weeks ago.
Do I take these vitamins all at once?
NO-ONE needs $100's worth of supplements, don't let someone who is selling them convince you of that. You only need a few...
KenDBerryMD are all of these you mention here needed daily and long term ... I WISH I’ve only spent hundreds on supplements... been more like thousands and I am so confused on what we need long term. All I know is I feel like hell
Does seizure medication deplete coq10 as well? My husband takes a total of 6 seizure pills as well as a beta blocker and bp pill. How many mcg would you suggest...
Would be really helpful to have specific product recommendations rather than
“ you need 50 mg of magnesium “ etc.
I heard most vit pills don’t even get absorbed and pass right through. I still have little clue on what to actually buy for better health.
So many adds etc I don’t trust.

Absolutely agree!
3:00 I love the humor you throw in. I've learned a great deal about nutrition watching your videos. That sarcasm makes it feel like you're getting these tips from an old friend.
Great list Dr. Berry, I would to suggest 2 others. For K2 - wk7 version has a better half-life than wk-4 (I take both - Liver is the best), current studies of K2 are of higher doses (0.2mg+). Not sure why this one wasn't considered essential, most people do not get enough Boron in their diet. It is involved in many processes, and taken in moderate amounts with your suggested list will provide many benefits (Strong Bones - No Osteopenia, Reverse Arthritis, Increase D Serum levels, and Testosterone)
Do you mean Mk-7?

The best way to get nutrition. nutrition ivs and nutrition injections myers cocktail iv, nad+iv, vitamin d injection, gluadathione iv and coq10 injection. way better then supplements. they been aroundd since the 1950s and thats what pro athletes and rich people use year round to stay healthy.,,
I already take all of these but the single biggest effect for me, having psoriatic arthritis, was standardized turmeric with black pepper. My little fingers used to stay sore almost as if broken and my other finger joints were frequently inflamed and painful but when I started taking turmeric the pain left my hands and never came back. I can lift weights, write, etc. with zero pain. Love your channel Dr. Berry!
What dosage do you take? I have severe osteoarthritis.
@@jackstewart2504 I take 3 capsules @500 mg each as a maintenance dose every 24 hours. Make sure you get the 95% curcuminoids standardized version with bio-Perine (black pepper) to help with absorption. Turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory! When I started taking it, I took one 1500 mg dose every twelve hours and within a few days the pain was gone. Since it's just a spice, common yellow curry, you can also cook with it if you like curry flavor. Really good in a creamed chicken and rice sauce. Good luck!

vitamin d also makes you feel happy. boosts your mood up massively
I wonder if having a vitamin d deficiency would cause depression?
Definitely has never had that affect on me.
it's the reason you feel happy when you are out in sunshine

sorry to hear that. you need another good source of vit d. cod liver oil capsules are a good source. you would also then get your omega 3 and vit a for the day. also grass fed butter (kerrygold) would give you vits A D E K
What about potassium supplements? I know that we can get potassium from leafy greens and salads, but I can't eat too much of them due to IBS. Recently I started eating a few salads and leafy greens a day, trying to get healthier, and I had the worst IBS attack in years! Thank you Dr. Berry for taking the time to do all these videos.. you're really helping a lot of people!!
I have the same question about potassium. There is one type I've found called potassium gluconate, but I can't seem to find info on it.
Potassium supplements are limited by FDA to 99mg, whereas the body should be getting 4500mg a day.

Thanks for the confirmation lol. I've been taking most of the supplements you mentioned since my early 40s. I'm 51 now and I feel great. 10 years ago I was 50 pounds overweight, had elevated blood pressure and a terrible lipid profile, but after both of my parents died within 2 years, from cancer and heart disease, I decided to get my sh*t together. Below is the list of supplements (and the brands) I currently take each day. I sometimes change brands if I learn about a better option in my research. I try to only take the highest quality supplements available, based on lab analysis and customer feedback. They can be expensive, but it's worth it to know it's pure and effective and not just some synthetic garbage that you'll pee out in 10 min.
1. Multivitamin - Xtend-Life Total Balance Premium
2. Magnesium Complex - MagEnhance
3. Coenzym Q10 - Qunol Ubiquinol (ubiquinol is the better form of CoQ10 and is FAR better absorbed in the body than regular CoQ10)
4. Omega 3 - Sports Research Total Omega 3
5. Vitamin D3/K2 - Sports Research
6. Vitamin C - American Health Ester-C with Bioflavonoids
7. Niacin - Solgar Vitamin B3
8. Probiotic - Now Foods 10, 25 billion CFU
D LG Can you mention links or brand names? Are you also taking Probiotics? How is your Diet like? Thanks for your inputs!
@@blueblack1997 I try to take only the most respected brands, which can get expensive (I spend about $120 /month on supplements), but it's well worth it to me. Honestly, my diet isn't great.

I am trying to improve my diet though, but even as it is, my vitals are still good.

Dr. Berry, I have learned sooo much listening to you. Appreciate your straight forward style and use you as a reference for "all things"!

Thanks in advance for your help!
Some portions of good meats like Chicken will give you the protein that your body needs to stay strong.
Also the Lord Jesus Christ will lead and guide you on your journey to staying healthy 😊process foods too much sugar and gluten trans fat do little for our health. I am not a big fan of red meats as study show the link to most chronic illnesses.
So far I have kicked nicotine, refined sugar, gluten, alcohol, now I'm after lactose. It's a long road!
I was wondering . . . . . is it only the lactose in those grains or is it the whole thing?
I was in an accident that left me with a pretty nasty spinal injury and the label in-valid !
When the pain hits my brain . . well, say no more.
But . . . when it does I can't eat, sometimes for days. So I have gotten used to fasting. I'm too poor for the meat . . . so ditto for that. What you say makes a lot of sense.
I'm also after Inflammation as I think that is what slows me down the most.
Needless to say (especially to you) the whole lot has led me straight to Keto . . .
I like your genuine honesty and personal style. I am taking on board what you recommend (that I don't already do) and I'm looking forward to even less pain.
Thank you for your invaluable knowledge.

Just take 3 things...
1) one daily every man's multivitamin 40 + (new chapter brand)
2) Antarctic krill oil 2000 MG ( microingredients brand)
3) Probiotic All-Flora (new chapter brand)
I tried to get the best produced vitamin probiotic and krill oil I can find at a reasonable price that I can afford, new chapter seen the stand out because they ferment their products and it comes from my whole food source and actually meets or exceeds the minimum recommended dosages on the important stuff without adding too much other junk into it... the krill oil this is a new brand for me and I'm still seeing if it works well if my body I'm 2 weeks in on it but overall it seems like a decent brand and fresh oil.... as for the probiotic I'm not sure what all Flora means but I'm going to give them a shot haven't started it yet, but I'm curious your thoughts on these two Brands and these three supplements that I take... Is there better ones out there? Are these dosages enough for the average 40 year old not on many prescriptions ( antihistamine and Pepto acid reflux medicine)? It's also been recommended to me by others non-medical professional types to take A Time release vitamin C... not too sure about that one.... I only eat once a day and it's whatever the wife makes me usuallyI only eat once a day and it's whatever the wife makes me.. we all have a small snack for lunch... not much more to say but thought I would ask and see what you think

This was a couple of years ago...do you still recommend these supplements on a carnivore diet?

UA-camrs all know viewer engagement helps the channels and algos but please make good on your pledges..So many questions here have gone unanswered.
Thanks for your effort Doctor, but I think you forgat one of the most important elements which most of the people are deficient in which is Iodine, which can lead to some serious problems!
ah yes i just mentioned that too, they have to learn which one to take & how to dose etc... also. some meds & situations may not mix well with iodine as it seems to raise blood pressure & heart rate

You’re videos are most informative and so enjoyable! Thank you for all you do and share. God bless
I felt like sheet 20 - 30 years ago, process of elimination came up with "chronic fatigue" ie they couldn't find anything. So I have been reading about this stuff for years and agree with your list. Now @ 76 I am off all prescription medicines. Systolic BP around 130 or a little above but stable so I let that be.
I am surprised you didn't include any "brain enhancers" though. Having a wife with with AD, diagnosed 5 years ago and still at home I have an interest. Probably the one you could have included is curcumin [bacopa and ginko also help] and changed the magnesium compound to magnesium L-theonate [expensive though]. I also cook in coconut oil which has a high fuming point. But an excellent list.
I hope people hear the message re D3 and K2. Osteo is a terrible thing, it condemned my beautiful MIL to a wheelchair and eventually stroke when, knowing what we know now, it could have been prevented.
I'd advise to do research on insulin resistance, mct oil and Alzheimer. You can find UA-cam's with specific info on this subject. The disease is also called diabetes 3.If your lady became insulin resistant, her brains lack glucose fuel. In that case her brains may live up with another fuel, mct oil.
Osteoporosis: use boron, magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (MK7). Proteins are also required for stronger bones.

Dr. Berry, Thank you so much!!! You are a saving grace!!!
Dr. Berry, it is 200 micrograms of Vitamin K2 MK7, not K2 MK4. If you take the MK 4 version, you need about 3 or 4 milligrams to equal 200 micrograms of MK7 K2.
Now I"m confused... MK4 or MK7 ??
mwdickens K2 from MK7 Natto. This video explains it. Dr. Berry dud a review on her book and gave it a thumbs up 👍
ua-cam.com/video/Y_pa7AR7l6s/v-deo.html
So he did say the MK4? I found it on Amazon
Yvette Jossart MK 7 (from Natto) is the correct one.
I have not seen any studies. Mayhap the 4 version is used faster,

Dr Berry, does K2 increase the chance for a blood clot like vitamin K does? I have a blood clot history and was told to avoid vitamin K... Thank you so much!
When I was on Warfarin, I was told to avoid foods and supplements with vitamin K because it "thickens the blood". If you are on a medication that is affected by vitamin K then definitely steer clear but if you're a normal person then it shouldn't hurt you and should actually help you. K1 and K2 work well together. Green leafy vegetables contain K vitamins.

Thank you Dr Berry for sharing this information. I immediately ordered COq10 for my husband and myself. I didn’t realize that I had been taking the wrong type of K2, but I have now corrected that problem.
K2 MK7 last longer in your body. It is excellent. I would also try and get more K2 from diet. High fat milk/yogurt/cheeses are a good source.
K2 MK seven would be his recommendation today so if that’s what you’re taking with your D3 keep it up
Hi, should we avoid taking vitamins that contain soybean oil, corn oil, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide? Thanks for the wonderful information.
Dr. Berry, it is 200 micrograms of Vitamin K2 MK7, not K2 MK4. If you take the MK 4 version, you need about 3 or 4 milligrams to equal 200 micrograms of MK7 K2. Most K2 supplements available at amazon or Walmart are the MK7 type (made from natto, fermented soy beans).
Yes Texarkana, I believe you are correct. I agree with you that what Dr. Berry said was wrong. In addition, I've heard MK-7 is the superior form of Vitamin K2 to take (for absorption). Not sure why he favors MK-4.
Thank you for clarifying this! I noticed that the supplement that he linked to had 15,000mcg MK-4. I was wondering what was going on
I'm confused, so what K2 and I suppose to order?
This confused me too. !5,000mcg versus 200 mcg is quite a difference.
I take both, K2-MK4 has a shorter half life (maybe 3 or 4 hours) in the body but because you start with a bigger dose, you still have quite a bit after six half lives. MK7 is touted because it has a much longer half life and because it is more expensive, therefore it must be better. I believe MK4 is what you get from cheese and that may be why Dr Berry advocated it.
I’m wondering about the use of collagen pills and apple cider vinegar capsules?

I'd be interested to know this too.
I'd like more information also
He actually listed the suppliments below the video in his video description. Probiotic was on that list
I would be very interested in the collagen powder or pills information. The look into the products available it looks like there is the types, hydrolyzed versus regular, not to mention the sources of the collagen. Apparently each type has a particular purpose, marine(fish) is higher quality source, and hydrolyzed is the easier form to absorb into the body, the type I have found is in conflict of whether it is actually applicable.
Dr. Ken Berry,What is the name of the good probiotic supplement that you recommend for people like me who have eczema.When ever I have any probiotic from milk like yogurt or capsule (I took just one capsule) with lactobacilli my eczema flares up and becomes much worse.I have purchased but not yet tried a probiotic called Align distributed by Procter and Gamble Inc. which has only one probiotic: Bifidobacteriumlongum 35624 TM. 1 x 10^7 cfu / capsuleI don't have any intestinal problems according to my family doctor, except I tend to have hard stools if I don't add a few table spoons of cooked wheat bran to each meal I eat.I have found the vitamin D3 in doses of about 5000 to 8000 international units per day and 3000 to 6000 international units of omega 3 capsules have begun to clear up my eczema rash and dry and flakey skin on the back of my hands, forearms, back of my neck and shoulders around my neck, and a few small patches on my back and upper arms.Thank you very sincerely for your advice.Lawrence RodriguesPhone 416 293 3867email: LAJBR1@BELL.NETADDRESS:59 HOLMBUSH CRESCENTSCARBOROUGH ONTARIO CANADA POSTAL CODE: M1V 2Y8

Is there a certain brand of these that's best and how do we know which ones we need
I have bone on bone knee issue. I was getting steroid shots every 3 months to take down the swelling which also caused pressure pain. I started to take organic sulphur crystals (Happy Body) .5 to 1 teaspoon mixed with iced tea every day. No more swelling and no more needles. Didn't fix the bone on bone knee but took away the pain. My question to you is, can you do a video on this and is it safe to take every day? The things I read said it comes naturally in food but gets processed out. Thanks in advance.
I was ready for new knees when I found an exercise specialist that taught me how to build up the muscles around my knees. I did standard leg exercises with an assist, like a cane, with warm-ups (active stretching) and cool down after (static stretching), and rolling all leg muscles (foam roller, massage gun, and/or rolling pin.) I swim and/or bike ride weekly. I am 74 and play tennis several times a week. I still see my specialized trainer twice a week for workouts and I am doing this on the same bone-on-bone knees the surgeon said I should have replaced.

A supplement no one is talking about is lithium. I started taking this for foot neuropathy and began noticing a significant improvement in my memory. Would like Dr Berry's comment on this supplement.
how much you take?
I'm interested to know too
Lithium usually causes weight gain, extreme thirst and sleepiness. Not always. It definitely helps you mentally stay even keeled.
My clients kidneys were destroyed by lithium...dialysis 3 x a week. No bueno.
If you’re taking lithium. You need to have your blood drawn and checked every 3 months to ensure something and to avoid risks. My psychiatrist was adamant about this. And other medical professionals aggressively suppported this practice.
Hi Dr. Berry, I love your videos since I've started the ketogenic diet! What about Potassium? I thought I heard we should take it on keto. But unfortunately I don't remember who I heard it from. I haven't started yet but I did purchase a bottle today. Thank you for all the information you provide to all of us!
Jeanne McKinney ~ I can't remember which doc I heard it from (Phinney, Westman, or I was thinking it was Dr. Berry, which is the reason I'm here today looking for that video), but when on keto you need more than twice the rda for sodium (5,000mg); 4700 potassium (I drink two zipfizz each day and try to get the rest from food); and I can't remember the recommended amount of magnesium -- again, the reason I'm here. Unfortunately, most potassium supplements are in 99mg capsules and you'd need to take a handful every day to get what you need. No-Salt or Nu-Salt is a good source of potassium but measure carefully. Potassium is one of those things you can get too much of.
A retired bariatric MD friend of mine says the following yesterday (4-19-2019): "ketosis pathophysiologically works same as diuretics. Depleting form the kidneys not only water but for life essential minerals like Kalium (potassium). My life-long experience is that one out of 100 patients, under normal conditions, are depleters of Kalium naturally. Lab results like 2.8-3.2 mmols per liter
can occur (min is 3.5). You can imagine when those patients are put on diuretics or ketosis ( the same stuff) they lose more potassium and eventually can end up in cardiac arrest. 30-40 years ago, Dr. Lynn wrote a book titled "Last chance diet:" Home made remedy for a strict low carb diet.. 15 people around the country died from cardiac arrest.!! I am amazed, here in Prague, same is going on, without mentioning any info concerning mineral depletion. They routinely putting patients on 20-30 grams carbo diet without any fear. I just cannot believe it. The ketogenic diet must be under a physician's control and properly monitored. "
So, Dr. Berry, you have said you take Keto Chow Electrolytes and other minerals, but in this video, you never document how much of each per day and do not say how you personally verify that you are not getting too much or too little. A yearly wellness check blood test might be too late to find out one has overdone a potassium supplement or has not taken enough.
I found out that mayo says there are "no RDA or RNI for this mineral. However, it is thought that 1600 to 2000 mg (40 to 50 milliequivalents [mEq]) per day for adults is adequate. Lack of potassium may cause muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, mood changes, or nausea and vomiting.
Injectable potassium is administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor. Some forms of oral potassium may be available in stores without a prescription. Since too much potassium may cause health problems, you should take potassium supplements only if directed by your doctor."
They go on to list foods that contain potassium but the list is not very keto friendly.
With Cronometer one can get a summary of totals from food and supplements if one logs what one eats each day.
Maybe you could do a video on iodine and potassium. Supplement amounts, testing, symptoms....
Sidebar: Keto Chow 1/2 teaspoon contains
Sodium 125mg
Potassium 130mg
Magnesium 45mg
Chloride 390mg
My daily potassium, based on daily cronometer logging, ranges from 100 to 2000 with (2000 days when I eat alot of kale chips and guacamole in one day). Adding Keto Chow to my water never gets me near 4700 but I could use 2000mg
an use that as a target to round out with Keto Chow based on food eating that day.
wow, this just popped up and its many years ago, but i took notes, thank you for all you do for us out here.
What time of day should each of these supplements be taken?
My guess is the most important thing is to take the supplement. If you make things more complex, they may be better but after a while many people are likely to give up because they made too difficult for themselves.
Thank you so much for your videos. Do you recommend taking all supplements together or with certain foods? I know you said magnesium at night and vitamin D3 with fat (in another video). Thanks so much!!😊
Magnesium is good at bed time along with calcium because it helps your sleep.
Dr Berry I love your videos! I really cant afford all the supplements you discussed in the video. Can you recommend a good daily multivitamin?
Thank you! I finally have a concise list, including recommended dosages. This is very helpful.
How about vitamin C? Is it worth taking or just a waste of money. Thanks.
Got to get the plant-based bioflavonoid vitamin C extract
I love you! You are so funny and shoot from the hip! Put together with that Tennessee accent and you have become my fav person to listen too!
What part of Tennessee are you from?
dynamic duos I’m actually from Nevada.
I have a couple of big questions here. There was no address of Vitamin C during this...its in most multi vits so probably not much of an issue. However, the timing of taking vitamins and minerals is not addressed either. I intermittent fast...so can I take my dailies during that...or do I wait till I have my first meal of the day? And am I breaking my fast taking these? Thank you for your kind consideration. I appreciate your time. Perhaps, this could be the subject of a new video?
You don't break a fast by taking vitamins and minerals. There is no energy source in them unless you take something like a protein supplement. If you do take supplements while fasting I'd be sure to drink a full glass of water with it or you may experience some stomach discomfort.
Eating a completely Vegan diet what supplements other than the 7 listed should I be taking on the daily? Love your videos I get to learn something new from every single one. Thank you!
I personally supplement my vegetarian diet with at least 8 forkfulls of high fat meat on almost every meal 🤣.
Sorry. It is a bad joke, but I couldn't resist.
Dr. Berry, my neighbors for SURE would not appreciate me being out in my speedo!
😂 lol
That's their problem. :)
Lisa Kane... don't be too sure, lol... some real freaks out there! ;-)
Hi dr. What kind of calcum I should take over 50. Thank you. Please make a video for us thaks.
I'd sue.
Thanks for the recommendations on supplements.
Now we need advice on RELIABLE supplement companies!
There are too many nutraceutical/supplement companies that sell fraudulent and/or overpriced products.
Can you please recommend some trusted companies?
Very few, if any are reliable across the board.
Check out Life Extension. They're not the cheapest by far, but they are highly reliable.
Pure Encapsulations has been excellent to me!
@@Tumblemark Thanks for the reply.
I checked out Life Extensions.
It looks like most of their products contain maltodextrin, modified food starch, and soy- just to name a few.
Soy is probably the most unnecessary ingredient they have included.
I wish I didn't have to give you this bad news.
@@LakerLife It's not actually bad news. The substances you mention are excipients; they are included in very small amounts to make sure the active ingredients flow through the encapsulating machinery and make it possible to deliver accurate and reliable amounts in the final capsules. Some are also preservatives and ensure that the capsules hang together when you want them to and break apart when you want to absorb them. The actual amounts are miniscule, especially when you compare the amounts you would get in your normal diet. They are the same excipients that are found in prescription drugs, so they are highly regulated. All except soy.
Like you, perhaps, I completely avoid soy, but I have never seen it in any of the supplements I have ordered from Life Extension. They also sell a few soy supplements, so I suppose there's a market. I look at soy as phytotoxins. The market isn't me.
You should be encouraged that Life Extension lists all their ingredients, including excipient details. Try that with Centrum supplements, made by Pfizer. They keep excipients hidden and unlisted, but you can be sure they are there. I guess they think that revealing them may scare customers. Life Extension also has many articles about their products, and they list related peer reviewed scientific research papers. If you join you receive a monthly magazine with interesting articles, though it also pushes various supplements.
If you have questions, give Life Extension a call. You can talk to someone who knows what they are talking about or can transfer you to someone who does and who can counsel you without pushing product. It's part of the service that distinguishes them from other supplement companies.
Thanks for the info. I am 65, in good health and take no meds at all. I take most of what you mention here, with the exception of K2/MK4, which I will begin. I also take Hyaluronic Acid (330mg), tart cherry (465mg), krill oil (500mg), ubiquinol (100mg) and b12 (1500mg). Any thoughts on these? Thanks!
skip supplementing not really effective do coq10 injections, gludathione iv, myers cocktail, vitamin d injections, if you dont your just gonna have nutrition deficiencies and have lots of health issues. pro atletes and rich people do those year round thats why they're always healthy and not sick. nutrition ivs and injections is the secret to being healthy. not talked about cause there too effective they cure pretty much almost all health issues. high doses they last awhile in your system optimal levels same day, does not take serveral months like supplement and only 30 percent absorbtion. nutrition ivs and injection 100 percent absorbtion through blood stream and no side effects like supplements can
K2 removes calcium from arteries. Won't the statin remove coq 10 if you thake the supplement.
What dose of Vit D3 and K2 do you recommend? And what Multivitamin pls?
Any thoughts or suggestions on the correlation between supplements and sleep quality on a keto diet? Thank you for your youtube channel and easy to follow descriptions. I have been passing them on to friends and family and they are seeing the benefits of keto.
What was that ,
Kinda of k2 was that again ?
Do you recommend any certain brands of these supplements? Or what to look out for in the ingredients?
Jarrow is a great brand
They are in the video description
When I hit the (Amazon) link for Vitamin K, I saw a combo Vitamin K2 and D3, made by Divine Bounty. Would this be a good alternative for the individual Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 supplements you noted?
I have gastroparesis and have had it for over 35 yrs. it was first thought to be IBS but it persisted and worsened. By the early 1990's I was not keeping food down and the nausea was after every meal. diarrhea and malnutrition was also occurring. I finally got diagnosis in 1992 by a gastrointestinal doctor who did a endoscopy after 12 hours of fasting. I had not eaten since 6 the evening before and the food was still there making me very ill. I was given propulsid and it worked for years but then it was taken off the market so I got a gastric bypass in 1999 which was a huge change. I then fought a deficit of many vitamins showing up in my blood tests. Over many years I added enzymes, probiotics and prebiotics and eventually gastric acid. I take many supplements to bring these levels up now. They are always just above normal and no higher. It seems to be all I can accomplish. My stomach is deteriorating over time and my sources of protein have slowly disappeared. I am now down to chicken, pork, turkey, nuts and seeds, beans and milk products. I can't tolerate seafood, egg yolk, beef, game meats, or soy. I can only eat 2 oz of protein at a time and take two rounds of enzymes to be able to do that. I am still fighting to keep food in my life. I cook everything from scratch - cannot used boxed foods - too many preservatives and my stomach does not like them. after seeing this, i will add more omega3 and co q10 and ad in k2. thank you
Is it ok to take these supplements or other medications during IF? Does it break my fast?
Same question i have. Do I need to take all the supplements during the feeding window? Some of the pills have very minor amounts of calories (10 or less)
Hi Kelli, taking supplements won’t break a fast per se, but be sure to read the directions for taking them, as some of them (magnesium for example) should be taken with food to avoid stomach upset. So if you’re prone to stomach problems, it would be best to wait until you’re done with your IF to take. Hope this helps.
Not a doctor but take the ones that are gel tabs during your eating period. They tend to have a small amount of soy oil as a filler and it's best to take them when your insulin is already going to be rising. Also, some vitamins are water soluble and others are fat soluble.
As per Dr Jason Fung in his Complete Guide to Fasting book..pg 243.."Talk to your physician about whether these meds need to be continued during your fast. Also, you can try taking your meds with a small serving of leafy greens, which is low in calories and may not disrupt your fast." Also, I am pretty sure I read somewhere that the max calories you can consume on a fasting day is 50 calories, such as if you want to add a smidge of ghee or coconut oil to your coffee.
Dr Berry, love your videos; I currently take all of the supplements you listed in your video, and some others. What about these?
NAC, Milk Thistle, Pantetheine, Vitamin E complex, Spirulina, Chlorella and the inevitable
Vitamin C. Thank you
I’m curious too! He said he answers every video. I’m new here. I don’t see an answer?
How about these:
alpha lipoic acid
berberine
folic acid
iodine
potassium gluconate
tumeric
Vit E
Thanks!
Can you take these supplements without food, I do intermittent fasting and my first meal is around 2pm. So could I take them in the mornings or should I wait until I eat?
Hey Doc, I wonder if you have an updated version of this list? I have been reading the ingredients on these and they have seed oils in them. Recently we have learned how unhappy these oils can make our bodies (inflammation) Anything to worry about here?
At 8:50 you advise to choose a B Complex based on a formulation that has 1000mcg of B12. The Nature Made B complex in the link at the bottom has 6mcg of B12 which is rated at 250% of daily value. Upon further sleuthing I found your video on B12 deficiency, and there a B Complex is linked that has 900mcg of vitamin B12.
encouraged

Question: is CoQ 10 something I should be taking (as you explained here) if I am on Warfarin? I have to be careful what I take because it can be dangerous for me. Are there any others on this list I should not take while on Warfarin?
Thanks...this was VERY helpful and informatice.
I’m on warfarin I take Q10. But stay away from K2
Hey Dr. Berry! Excellent video, as always! Could you please clarify the statement you made regarding Vitamin K? You mentioned that MK-4 is preferred, but I thought that MK-7 is better absorbed, especially when combined with the synergistic effects of a cholecalciferol supplement. In your description, you also provide a link to a Vitamin K supplement in MK-7 form, not MK-4, so I’m a little confused! Hope to hear from you, and thanks again! Ryan (RN)
I was thinking the same thing....I thought another video said MK7....would like clarification
I'd appreciate clarification about vitamin K7 as well! Thanks
Mk7 is better, longer half life
Mk7 is the natural form, mk4 is the synthetic form and has half of the half life and only stays in the body about 4 hours. Mk7 is better from my research. Nobody is perfect, I’m sure the good doctor misspoke lol
@@adweaver91 the problem with MK7 is that it gives heart palpitations in a lot of people. Currently I'm taking MK4.
Nutritional/brewers yeast is a huuuge source of the B vitamin complex! It’s a unique flavour and goes on almost anything savoury.
You hyperlink to Magnesium is the Oxide formulation. Isn't that low bioavailable?
What brand of vitamins do you recommend, as far as the best with absorption?
No one can ever answer this question... Isn't that funny.. Vits are a scam
Hi Dr. Berry! Could you please explain why you recommend MK4 over MK7? I work in the supplements section of a health food store, and my co-workers and I have been reading as much as we can about K2. It is really confusing. Most people we study recommend MK7. My best understanding is that MK4 attaches to triglycerides and doesn't stay in the system as long as MK7 and that MK7 attaches to cholesterol. Either way, the supplement is manufactured from bacteria. I can't remember what the bacteria feed on for MK4, but for MK7, they feed on natto, sometimes chickpea. Anyway, the whole topic is confusing, and I'm beginning to form the opinion that nobody really actually knows much when it comes to this topic. If you wouldn't mind sharing what you know, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Do you have a multi-vitamin you recommend for men and/or women? Would a multi include most of these in high enough doses?
Great video thank you! I am following the Keto Diet and have heard that Potassium is important. Would you recommend a potassium supplement? Many thanks
Well sir, I do take everything you mentioned plus a whole lot more....what you neglect to mention, (a whole lot of doctors do) is that the elderly so often do not digest food as well anymore thus not getting the nutrients that someone 40 or 50 do. I really do wish that when doseages are given that fact was taken into account. Thank you.
where do you suggest we get customized and pharmaceutical-grade supplements from?
Thankyou for recommending Supplements I take quiet a few myself it is important to supplement with what we do not get in our foods.. Thanks for making this video Dr Berry Appreiciate your time explaining the need to take supplements whilst doing Keto :)
Your thoughts on once daily 500mg extended release niacin for vascular health?
Is melatonin supplements good or bad? I have heard some positive things but I'm not sure if it is something I should consider taking.
Yeah, it doesn't seem to help me sleep. Mine is prescribed. In combination with keto, maybe now it will help., Only been on this for two days. I'am hopeful!! We'll see it's now or never!!!
I take a brand called Sleep. It helps me relax to where I can fall sleep
Thank you for the video. In 2022 is their any supplements you would add or remove from the list?
Edit: Also would you need to take a multivitamin as well if you were supplementing with all 8 of the above?
What about potassium citrate, l-carnitine, alpha lipoid acid?
The neighbors comment hahahaha 😂 brilliant lol
I think you skipped probiotics... What do you recommend for those? Also do you recommend anything for hair skin and nails?
You can make your own probiotics. I make my own sauerkraut...and pickles.
Much better than any supplement...
There is a link for the probiotics under the video.
how do you make your sauerkraut?
@@jackieirvineful
Go on UA-cam and look up recipes for making sauerkraut.
Also, checkout Dr Robert cassar on UA-cam as well...ferments..
Tons of info

Ty Dr. Berry
Hi Dr. Berry, What are your thoughts on adding citrulline to your supplement regimen? I am 71. Great content keep up the good work!
Dr. Berry what’s you position on the effect of Choline and properly functioning Liver?
K2 will help prevent calcium buildup in you blood system, I believe it moves calcium from a clogging area into the bones for structural support.
Ok so...you said you answer questions below? I scrolled for 3 minutes and didn't see one question answered 🤔
Not directly, Shellie. He can't. It's a liability.
If you scroll through the comment section, he answers them indirectly.
