I usually take a fistful of nutritional supplements every day. In fact, most people are speechless when they see my daily regimen.
I also travel with them — putting each day’s allotment into plastic bags and stuffing them in my suitcase.
But I recently left the States for a four-week medical mission in Tibet and my gear was limited to 50 pounds. So there won’t be room for my usual supplement supply.
So I’ve had to decide…
“If I could only take five supplements, what would they be?â€
I only had room for five supplements per day, so they had to be the really important ones.
So here they are. By the way… these are also the ones I recommend you begin with if you’re just starting out — or the ones you can cut back to if you need to save money. Anyway, here goes…
1. A high-quality multi-vitamin
Topping the list is an excellent quality multi-vitamin. This is essential because a multi “fills in the blanks†of your diet (no matter how good it is), so you’re not running dangerously low on the essential nutrients your body needs for optimal functioning.
