Control Rules
- Track total daily dose across all stacks, not dose per bottle.
- Change one high-signal item at a time when possible.
- Use 7-14 days for subjective effects and 8-16 weeks for lab endpoints.
- Pause and get clinician input for medication conflicts, kidney disease, liver disease, anticoagulants, upcoming surgery, cancer treatment, abnormal labs, or severe new symptoms.
Core Stack
| Supplement | Daily target | Primary dependency | Amazon search |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D3 | 4,000 IU total | Count the multivitamin dose and recheck 25(OH)D plus calcium after 8-12 weeks. | Vitamin D3 4000 IU |
| Marine omega-3 | 1.6-2g EPA+DHA | Use EPA+DHA grams, not total fish-oil grams; consolidate the energy-stack omega-3 here. | High potency omega-3 |
| Multivitamin | Basic daily-value coverage | Avoid megadoses; count vitamin D, selenium, zinc, iodine, magnesium, vitamin A, and vitamin K. | Basic multivitamin |
| Magnesium glycinate | Modest elemental dose | Add it to Magtein from the sleep stack; keep supplemental magnesium near or below 350mg/day unless clinician-directed. | Magnesium glycinate |
| Sulforaphane | Avmacol per label | Use the same product version and meal pattern during tracking. | Avmacol sulforaphane |
| Creatine monohydrate | 10g | Split 5g twice daily if needed; interpret creatinine with cystatin C if kidney labs matter. | Creatine monohydrate |
| Ubiquinol | 100mg start | Take with fat; watch sleep, digestion, blood pressure, and warfarin/insulin conflicts. | Ubiquinol CoQ10 |
| Phytosomal curcumin | Per label | Track bruising, GI, and liver-warning symptoms, especially with omega-3 and ashwagandha. | Phytosomal curcumin |
Baseline Checklist
- Current supplement labels photographed or entered.
- Medication list checked for anticoagulants, antiplatelets, diabetes drugs, thyroid meds, chemotherapy/cancer treatment, lithium, and diuretics.
- Baseline symptoms recorded: energy, sleep quality, focus, GI comfort, bruising, headaches, joint pain, muscle soreness.
- Baseline metrics recorded: body weight, resting heart rate, HRV, and blood pressure if available.
- Labs queued: 25(OH)D, calcium, CMP with ALT/AST and creatinine/eGFR, cystatin C, CBC, fasting lipids/triglycerides, hs-CRP, HbA1c or fasting glucose, and omega-3 index.
Dependency Checklist
Vitamin D3
- 4,000 IU is total daily D from all sources.
- Take with a fat-containing meal.
- Recheck 25(OH)D and calcium after 8-12 weeks.
- Stop/escalate for unusual thirst, excessive urination, nausea, confusion, weakness, or kidney-stone symptoms.
Omega-3
- Target 1.6-2g EPA+DHA, not total oil weight.
- Use the energy-stack omega-3 as part of this target.
- Recheck omega-3 index after 12-16 weeks.
- Watch reflux, loose stool, bruising, nosebleeds, and palpitations.
Multivitamin
- Pick a basic formula near daily values.
- Prefer no iron unless labs or clinician indicate it.
- Keep total selenium below the adult 400mcg/day U.S. upper limit.
- Use clinician guidance if warfarin makes vitamin K consistency important.
Magnesium Glycinate
- Read elemental magnesium, not compound weight.
- Add Magtein from the sleep stack to the total.
- Keep supplemental magnesium near or below 350mg/day unless clinician-directed.
- Separate from thyroid meds, some antibiotics, bisphosphonates, and mineral conflicts.
Sulforaphane
- Use Avmacol per label and log exact product version.
- Keep meal timing consistent during the tracking window.
- Keep cruciferous vegetable intake reasonably stable during the first test.
- Track GI tolerance, illness days, and inflammation notes.
Creatine
- Use creatine monohydrate.
- Split 5g twice daily if 10g at once causes GI issues.
- Track body weight and training volume.
- Add cystatin C if creatinine rises and kidney interpretation matters.
Ubiquinol
- Start at 100mg daily with fat unless a specific dose is chosen.
- Watch insomnia, digestion, headaches, blood pressure, and energy stability.
- Check clinician guidance for warfarin, insulin/diabetes meds, and cancer treatment.
- Review after 2-4 weeks and keep only if signal or rationale is strong.
Phytosomal Curcumin
- Use a phytosomal form and dose per label.
- Avoid casual stacking with anticoagulants, antiplatelets, heavy NSAID use, or upcoming surgery.
- Add ALT/AST monitoring if daily long term, especially with ashwagandha.
- Stop/escalate for jaundice, dark urine, severe itching, upper-right abdominal pain, unusual bruising, or persistent GI pain.
Rollout
- Week 0: labels, baseline metrics, lab plan, and dose totals.
- Week 1: vitamin D and omega-3 consolidation.
- Week 2: creatine, if training/performance tracking is ready.
- Week 3: magnesium glycinate adjustment after confirming Magtein overlap.
- Week 4: multivitamin after selenium, vitamin D, zinc, and iron overlap checks.
- Week 5+: sulforaphane, ubiquinol, and curcumin one at a time.
