I am an Endocrinologist, a physician specializing in the Metabolism of the body, about the balance of various hormones is of interest to me.
Very early on in my training, it was drilled into me that you do not give hormones to people who do not have low levels of that hormones: Testosterone, Thyroid to give two common examples. It was fashionable to give thyroid hormones for weight loss, practice which had crept into oblivion.
Supplement of the Day is FISH OIL, even recommended by the American Heart Association (I also do not pay much attention to what these mavens say, including the American Diabetes Association, as they all seem to be far away from the reality of the estranged people that I work with).
Vitamin of the day is Vitamin D.
When it comes to Vitamins or Food Supplements I believe that one must obtain them in the most natural way as feasible. 20 minutes of sunshine would give you enough Vitamin D (a little longer if you are chubby? or dark skinned). Fish Oil is bountiful in fish and it is the best way to obtain the fish oil (some native people avoid fish not to break some traditional taboo).
RIP Fish Oil

The new meta-analysis, published in JAMA Cardiology in January, looked at randomized trials of marine-derived omega-3 fatty acid supplements involving almost 78 000 participants with a history of coronary heart disease (66%), stroke (28%), or diabetes (37%). The trials lasted an average of 4.4 years and compared fish oil with placebo or no treatment in at least 500 participants.
All told, fish oil supplements did not reduce the risk of coronary heart disease deaths, nonfatal heart attacks, fatal or nonfatal strokes, revascularization procedures, or all-cause mortality among the full study population. The supplements also didn’t protect against major vascular events in any subgroups, including people with a history of heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, or statin use.
There is also a tendancy in the American mainstream and auxiliary health care scene that if a little bit is good, more is better. Metabolism does not work that way! thus these megadoses of many ingredients sold to an unsuspecting public.
I work with poor people and despite the difficulties they face, they try to do what is natural, as they understand Nature and their role in it.
