The Daily Supplement Stack

What I take

With lunch: quercetin with bromelain, broccoli seed extract, resveratrol, NAC, glycine, vitamin C, D3 with K2, a multivitamin, fish oil, CoQ10, turmeric, and a Heart & Soil organ supplement.

Optionally at dinner: vitamin C, fish oil, turmeric.

The bedtime set is its own thing and lives in the pre-bed supplement protocol.

Why with food

The fat-soluble half of this list — D3, K2, CoQ10, the fish oil, the curcumin in turmeric — absorbs meaningfully better with a meal containing fat. Taking them on an empty stomach is paying full price for a fraction of the dose.

The bromelain is paired with quercetin for the same kind of reason: quercetin's absorption is poor on its own, and pairing is the standard workaround.

Sorting my own stack honestly

Not all of this is the same strength of claim, and I would rather say so:

• The better-supported end: D3 with K2, fish oil, and vitamin C. Ordinary, well-studied, and mostly about not being deficient.
• The middle: NAC, CoQ10, turmeric, quercetin. Real mechanisms, real studies, genuine questions about dose and bioavailability at what I take.
• The speculative end: resveratrol, broccoli seed extract, and the organ supplement. I take them on a reasonable-mechanism basis, not on the strength of outcome data in people like me.
