Supplements: taken daily thru once a week

(Manufacturer - typically popular on Amazon)
Daily

• Orgain Protein - 76 cents/ounce I am also add very intense exercise for 15 minutes daily to build muscle
  • It tastes great. (age 78), average 30 g/day
  • Apparently should have >80 grams TOTAL per day (>1 gram/kg @ 80 kg)
• Glutathione - the master anti-oxidant, can start with 2 daily for a month
• Calcium (not rock Calcium, but Calcium from plants)
  • Red Marine Algae I sprinkle about 1/2 gram on my morning oatmeal and then add hot water

Every 2 days

• Vitamin K - Co-Factor* 3 types in Super K
  • Should be eaten with a fatty meal. Am looking for a water-dispersible form of K2
• Vitamin B100 8 types (Horbaach)

Every 3 days

• Resveratrol VDR activate* (Nature's Essentials 10X more bio-available)
• Tumeric/Curcumin VDR activate* (A1Vitality)
• Magnesium Co-Factor* and VDR activate*
  • To 500 ml of hot water add 32 grams of Magnesium Chloride and 21 grams of D-Ribose (to cancel the sour taste of Mg)
  • add 50 ml of the Mg water (above) to 350ml of water and sip during the day
    • This amount provides about 150 mg of Mg daily - which appears to be enough for me
    • I have tried up to 1200 mg of Mg daily for weeks, but I did not notice any benefit
    • The Magnesium Chloride + D-Ribose will make enough Mg water to drink for many years
      • I might switch to 300 Mg capsule every 2 days - no longer wanting to have > 1,000 mg/daily

Every 4 days

• Vitamin D3 100,000 IU - Bio-Tech 50,000 IU

Receptor and Activation

VitaminDWiki - The risk of 50+ diseases at least double with poor Vitamin D Receptor

---

VitaminDWiki - Vitamin D Receptor activation can be increased in 15 ways

Resveratrol,  Omega-3,  Magnesium,  Zinc,   Quercetin,   non-daily Vit D,  Curcumin, intense exercise, Butyrate   Sulforaphane   Ginger,   Essential oils, etc  Note: The founder of VitaminDWiki uses 10 of the 15 known VDR activators

VitaminDWiki – Vitamin D Receptor category:

530 studies in Vitamin D Receptor category

Vitamin D tests cannot detect Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) problems
A poor VDR restricts Vitamin D from getting in the cells

See also: 48 studies in the Resveratrol category

It appears that 30% of the population have a poor VDR (40% of the Obese )
Several diseases protect themselves by deactivating the Vitamin D receptor. Example: Breast Cancer
- - - - - - - -
The Vitamin D Receptor is associated with many health problems

Health problems include: Autoimmune (19 studies), Breast Cancer (24 studies), Colon Cancer (13 studies), Cardiovascular (23 studies), Cognition (16 studies), Diabetes (24 studies), Hypertension (9 studies), Infant (22 studies), Lupus (6 studies), Metabolic Syndrome (4 studies), Mortality (4 studies), Multiple Sclerosis (14 studies), Obesity (17 studies), Pregnancy (24 studies), Rheumatoid Arthritis (10 studies), TB (8 studies), VIRUS (37 studies),   Click here for details
Some health problems, such as Breast Cancer, Diabetes, and COVID protect themselves by reducing VDR activation

1) Vitamin D supplement  Sun Ultraviolet -B	Vitamin D in the blood and thus in the cells
2) Magnesium	Vitamin D in the blood  AND in the cells
3) Omega-3	Vitamin D in the cells
4) Resveratrol	Vitamin D Receptor
5) Intense exercise	Vitamin D Receptor
6) Get prescription for VDR activator    paricalcitol, maxacalcitol?	Vitamin D Receptor
7) Quercetin (flavonoid)	Vitamin D Receptor
8) Zinc is in the VDR	Vitamin D Receptor
9) Boron	Vitamin D Receptor ?, etc
10) Essential oils e.g. ginger, curcumin	Vitamin D Receptor
11) Progesterone	Vitamin D Receptor
12) Infrequent high concentration Vitamin D Increases the concentration gradient	Vitamin D Receptor
13) Sulfroaphane and perhaps sulfur	Vitamin D Receptor
14) Butyrate especially gut	Vitamin D Receptor
15) Berberine	Vitamin D Receptor
