I love the B12 spray. Been using it for a long while. I use Vit D/K as a spray also. Sublingual!!! Always a good way to go. You look especially smooth, plump and glowing today!!!
It is not true that non-refrigerated probiotics are "dead" and refigerated ones are "alive." In fact, tge refrigerated ones are often shipped and stored in non-refrigerated conditions before they reach the refridgerator of your health food store (source, workers at supplement/vitamin shops). They are all formulated to be shelf stable (need to be stored at room temp in dry conditions). The cooler temp of refrigerator does extend the bacterial life though. But it is not necessary to life for probiotics in shelf-stable formulations.
Tamara ~ thank you for sharing this info. You touched on a few areas that were of great help to me and, as I trust your advice, I will be switching some of my current supps to your fabulous suggestions. Jane
Hi Tamara! I take a calcium supplement and also one for my hair, skin and nails. This was very helpful especially about the Vit D as we are lacking in sunshine here as well. Love how you matched your eyeshadow with your top, very pretty! Have an awesome week my friend! 🤗💖
@ Tamara's Timeless Beauty Hey Beautiful!😍That is so cool that your daughter is an Herbalist!🌿You've got an amazing self-care routine!🙌🏼I love the B12 spray also! Have a lovely week, my friend! XoCher🤍🌹🤍
Hello Tamara! Loved this! I, too, take quite a few supplements --per doctor recommendations. I love the Q10, also I had no idea about K3 with vitamin D. I need took into that. I've been looking into Lions Mane as well. I'm unable to go on HRT, and there are times I have anxiety and foggy brain due to being post menopausal. I've bern wondering if this would help with that. I'm going to check it out. Thank you! ♥️🙏
Great, informative video Tamara! It was your advice that made me look into whether I needed a calcium supplement . And so important to get your bloods tested. As someone with an underactive thyroid I can't take any supplement with iodine. I'm going to look into your biotin supplement as I don't think mine is working anymore! Have a great week!
Hi T! I would love to try some of the supplements you take. Especially interested in the mushrooms as well. I take many of the same as you, but I also take MK-7, an active form of K2. Astaxanthin as my antioxidant, Phytoceramides for skin barrier function and Acetyl L-carnitine to help with memory and energy. Thank you for your helpful video! I always enjoy watching 😘
Thank you so much for this informative video, Tamara! It was really fun to see what you take :D I just love all of your videos haha! Moon Juice has a powder form of the Tremella mushroom - they call it vegan collagen haha! I can really relate to your daughter's story. Too much of anything can be bad. For the last 7 years, I was a strict vegan and ate mostly raw fruits and vegetables, thinking that this was healing to the body. Raw vegans believe that they are invincible on this diet. Contrary to my belief, I had low bone density (I'm in my 30s). This really made me realize that calcium and many other nutrients from greens are poorly absorbed. So I've been watching your nutritional video to take some notes! It would be great to see more health/diet content from you
YES! What a nice change of pace! I enjoyed hearing about your supplements as I've been getting back into supplements for the various benefits - especially mushrooms! I'm definitely going to look into adding Tremella to ever growing arsenal. Happy Sunday, Tamara! 🥰 p.s. Your sweater is so cute! ☺
Thanks for all the info ! I really would like to look into taking a mushroom supplement. I don’t take Calcium (mineral form) either, because of the increased risk of heart attack. I was taking a plant derived calcium for a while, but it’s very expensive, so discontinued it. I take D3 with K2, and magnesium. Hoping that will help my bone health. I also take B12 & B Complex, a good fish oil, New Chapter, but have also taken the Nordic Naturals, and may go back to that brand. I need to find a good probiotic, and just may use your method, to get the best variety of strains. I’ve been using the unrefrigerated types, and they don’t seem to help much. I actually need to rethink & update my supplements, so thank you for making this video. Got me to think more about my health again. ☺️💜☺️
Glad you mentioned taking calcium , I stopped taking too . B12 is hard to absorb , i take sublingual too . I don’t eat meat . The shots are best but I’m a chicken
Thank you , I have taken vitamin C , D and E I used to work for Blackmores well over 50 years ago . I also take turmeric capsules , was making my own turmeric mix but it is very messy .
I know we all have a story to tell on the supplements we take. I relate to most of the vitamins, supplements you are taking, like D3/K2, Omega 3 wild caught, C, B12, and a few others. I also take magnesium (600mg), calcium Citrate about 800mg. I can not get enough calcium from food (I drink 2 cups coffee at day), Over 6 months again I had a scan of my arteries had too much plaque had a Angio-plasty in the hosptial, came out with no problems. I quit taking calcium supplements as I have the same info you have about how bad they are, it's liking putting cement in your arteries. Sadly I got severe pain in my chest bone, so I started taking calcium citrate instead, less mg than I used to take, hoping to get most of my calicium from food. That did the trick, my chest pain went away. I drink 1 cup of Kefir in the morning, isn't that a probiotic? If not I eat low-fat greek yogurt, I could go on but I really enjoyed your reporting on all the products you researched for this video. I will look more into.(I'm 72). So far, so good.Thank you for this video, You are the best!!
I enjoyed hearing, and learning about your supplements, Tamara. Every time I find one I want to take, it says don't take if on blood thinner. Hopefully this spring I will be getting the Amulet Device implanted, and I can say goodbye to Coumadin!! In the meantime, I can keep learning. You look fantastic!! Many blessings..MaryEllen
So true...coumadin is a tricky one! How wonderful it will be for you to be able to say goodbye to coumadin! I hope you are enjoying some beautiful autumn sunshine. Happy Birthday Month to you!
This is SO interesting to me! I am very interested in and take supplements myself too. Some are the same as you. You asked about Chaga Mushrooms and I make a tea out of Chaga chunks and drink it daily. I love it. I also am a huge fan of liposomal vitamin C and while I used to take the brand you take I found one in capsule form that I like as much as the packets. I will be looking into some of the other's you mentioned! Thanks Tamara!
you should consider astaxanthin. it protects mitochondria from getting damaged. i noticed that some brands dont provide sufficient amounts of astaxanthin. (6mg per day). my skin got clearer from it. this is my favorite anti oxidant.
Great video. I am 41 and I take fish oil, vit d3+k2, B complex, NAC, sulforaphane, turmeric and black pepper, verisol collagen every day and zinc and magnesium (two or three times per week).
I have been using Saw Palmetto and then got worried when I read that women shouldn't take it, hmmm. Maybe I will start back up on it, good to know I can or that I feel better about it! The information said for men only.
Tamara, this is so helpful! I take a calcium supplement daily and now I’m going to do more research. Side note; my brother turned orange as a toddler because he was obsessed with carrots. Im glad your daughter was okay!
Great info. I take b complex, elderberry with zinc & c, collagen powder, vit d, eye vitamin, CoQ10 and cranberry for these reasons: nerve health, immunity, vit D bone since I’m on thyroid med, CoQ10 for my statin med and cranberry for urinary health.
Thank you Tamara I take most of the same vitamins ,but I do take 2 eye vitamins everyday.I do take Biotin I think that really works I have been taken it for 2 years and I see a big difference in my hair. I am a vegan so I get a lots of nutrients. Hugs Bea
I take several supplements as well. One that you and I both take is the B 12 spray. I try to take it earlier in the day because it will give me nightmares if I take it too late. Be warned! ❤️
Thanks Tamara great information I!!! also take tumeric as its a fantastic anti inflamitory herb & Kfibre which is a prebiotic whole plant natural fibre
My friend had the same carrot 🥕 emergency! I’m curious about adding NMN (I could used some energy 😅) & liposomal Vit C 🤔…I love your cautions. My MD and I are always tweaking my supplements along my aging journey. Happy Sunday ❤
Vitamins in vegetables and fruits are usually just precursors to real vitamins, and should be converted by body. Conversion rate is poor about 2-4% and sometimes because of genetic deffects is 0%. Eat meat, especially liver - it is best source of bioavailable vitamins and minerals.
Luv luv luv ALL your videos but especially health ones!!!!! Your the reason I bought myself a Vitamix!!! Been taking the @donotage supplements for one year now! They are clean with no fillers!!!!Still admiring my FAV nurse!!! Looking gorgeous Tamara!!!!💞💞 Sending you love & light from Kenosha Wisconsin 💕💕💯
I take a lion’s mane tincture every morning and drink chaga tea often. I do think the lion’s mane helps me with energy and focus. I like the taste of chaga tea - very earthy and I either drink it plain or put it right on with my morning coffee. I also have some reishi tea that I drink now and then, but it takes longer to brew and at a higher water temp. Medicinal mushrooms are becoming more and more widely used.
Tamara, thanks for all the info shared. Two Q’s and a comment: I also take liposomal C & have for years. I was instructed to take it 1st thing in the am on an empty stomach so it gets right into the gut. I see you take yours after a meal? 2nd Q: does taking B12 in the evening have any effect on your sleep ability? Wanted to mention Dr Andrew Weil is also a huge fan of medicinal mushrooms and has a lot of interesting research posted on his site
Interesting about the Liposomal Vitamin C...the directions on my package say it can be taken with or without food. B12 has not impacted my sleep...but you are the second person to mention that. The only reason I don't take it in the morning is that my understanding is it should not be taken at the same time as Vit C, which I take in the morning. And thank you for reminding me about Andrew Weil! I'll explore his information on mushrooms for sure!
Oh, sorry...after listening to the last few min, just wanted to add, if you haven't listened to Dr Li on YT you Should!! He is an MD who is also an Expert in Food and Longevity! Rare for an MD, I know!! ALSO....there is alot coming out about Melatonin as an Antioxident as well as sleep inhancer, and I recently bought a face cream with Melatonin in it (Amazon). Wonderful !!! Thx again....love your well prepared videos!!
I agree with you on most of your supplements. I will have to say that the vitamin C ascorbic acid is only the outer shell of the whole molecule and usually derive from GMO corn starch. You’re way better off going with a whole Food vitamin C such as Camu powder or acerola cherry powder. Ascorbic acid is very good as a therapeutic for IV use for cancer. I also take Nordic natural cod liver oil and I was taking 5000 IUs of vitamin D and I had my blood work done and my D levels were too high. My doctor told me to cut back on the vitamin D supplements.
@Julie Larson curious to know what your vitamin D level was that says it's too high, if you wouldn't mind sharing? Conventional medicine will say 20-40ng/ml is fine but Functional medicine Drs will say optimal vitamin D levels the higher the better like 80-100. I guess it also depends what's best for each individual depending on health issues like with autoimmune diseases etc... My experience is the higher the better for me I have autoimmune issues and was severely deficient about 10 years ago and now I'm optimal at a 95 and when severely deficient I was a 9 and felt like death!
@@allison471 it was close to 100. I backed down from 5,000iu to 2,000iu. Too much of a good thing isn’t good. It can deplete you in other areas. My doc is a functional doc. I also have an autoimmune disease…hashimotos. I don’t go to a conventional doc for my thyroid. 😁
@@julie5158 Hi Julie and thank you, I appreciate your response as I'm always trying to share and learn from others. I knew from your 1st comment it definitely sounded like you know your stuff and sounds like we have a lot in common and are on the same page. I know conventional medicine Drs can put fear in people about vitamins and nutrients and that's why I asked about your vitamin D level, so thank you! It's my understanding vitamin D toxicity is very rare but I guess it does happen through super high doses on a daily basis from my research and that of my Functional medicine Dr. Also when I went to my MD and he told me my vitamin D level was great and super impressed he asked what brand and form I was using! Lol I was shocked he didn't tell me it was too high. I guess 95 is my sweet spot 😊
@@julie5158 Thx, and good to know but everyone be aware that Dr.'s are over-diagnosing hashimotos. It is a huge money maker with all the Dr. visits, pills, tests, xrays, tx, etc. I did massage and was alarmed how many women wrote hahimotos on their health history form.
I'm really impressed with your supplement selection! I pretty much take all those and a few more but if you're wondering if there's anything missing I would say glutathione (liposomal form) is your 1 major omission for longevity and general well-being and phytoceramides for skin rejuvenation, Hope that helps! 💖🙆🏼♀️
From my research i found that bioavailability of glutathione supplements is low. N-Acetyl-Cysteine and Glycine supplements together (precursors to glutathione) raise glutathione levels more effectively than glutathione supplements themselves, from what studies I have seen.
Sorry-- I missed the "liposomal form" of glutathione mentioned. Liposomal form has been found to be well-absorbed. But it might be more cost-effective to supplement with NAC and glycine instead to raise glutathione levels, as liposomal glutathione is quite expensive, and NAC and glycine are not.
I take a lot of the supplements you do. I take a liquid salmon oil every day from wild caught salmon. It has made a huge difference. My latest discovery is Seed propiotics. They are amazing. I have tried so many other good brands but these are the best! Completely wiped out every gut issue. I have had so many diverticulitis attacks in the last several years and they were getting more and more frequent. My doctor wanted to do surgery but I kept putting it off. I have been taking Seed for a little over a year and my diverticulitis has not flared up at all since I started. My entire gut is working so much better. They are expensive and sometimes I just take 1 instead of 2 each day and I still get the same results.
I take niacinamide but would like to check out the NMN. Also for hair growth, for me there is nothing better, inexpensive or works as well as pumpkin seed oil. I suffered from quite a lot of hair loss due to a period of high stress.Having always had thick hair, it became very scary. I heard about pumpkin seed oil and with nothing to lose, gave it a try. I parted my hair and rubbed the oil along the part and a little goes a long way. Let it stay there about 3 to 4 hours then wash out. Took only 3 weeks until I saw quite a bit of growth. I now only use it every 6 weeks for a couple of weeks to ensure and support the hair growth.
Hi Tamara. I love all your videos. Can you please let me know where I can get the iRestore 3 in 1 hair growth please? I don’t see a link on the description box. Thank you so much.
There is actually a study (or more than one) on verisol collagen in particular but there are some on ingesting collagen as well. It does do some good. Supplements I take: Magnesium Citrate (I have a history of tachychardia and a nurse in the ER told me to give it a try. Sad he had to whisper that to me, because he could have gotten into trouble for suggesting it. I was there with my second bout of Tach within a few months) That was 15 years ago and I never had another tach episode. I also take Vitamin C, twice a day. B Complex. Probiotic. D3/K2 (I test low in D3 so much that even with supplements I have to do the RX D3 things once every 5-8 years or so. Midwestern living!). I take Omega3s occasionally and try to eat a lot of fish. I'm starting to have serious arthritis issues in one hand and one foot so I'm considering starting glucosamine/chondroitin to see if that helps. I also ingest a collagen supplement once a day, also hoping that helps my arthritis a little.
Great video! I found NMN about a year ago (after going thru 2 major surgeries) and have been taking 1000 mg a day since then. It is costly but I too have felt a huge difference in my energy levels. I power walk 4 to 6 miles every day and have for 2 years. Some days I even jog now since I feel so good! I will be 64 in a few months. I take B12, I am plant based since my illness, K2, D3, C, Zinc, Selenium for thyroid, Resveratrol and TMG which are suggested with NMN. You look stunning, I hope you have a wonderful week ahead! xoxo Debbie😘
@@Jennyleeceo it is trimethylglycine which is found in the body in the form of amino acids. It is in beets and spinach but not too many foods contain it. The liver is the main organ that produces this acid, and it has many health benefits. It is recommended to take the same mg amount as you take of the NMN. In order for the body to produce NAD it requires a methylation process which the TMG supports. It is a very affordable supplement and also helps with energy which is why many bodybuilders take it. Hope this helps!!
Look into Vitamin B1 mega dose! Try it for yourself. it's the most underrated supplement. Of course, magnesium and zinc are great too. also, B2, B3 (for skin), and B5. Be careful of B6, don't take that as the syntheic version is toxic.
Very good video. Yes, in Minnesota many are deficient in this vitamin due to lack of sunlight at times with the seasonal changes. Also with using so much sunscreen the natural Vitamin D cannot get into our bodies. I make sure that I get 15-30 minutes direct sunlight to my face prior to sunscreen and this is also wonderful for mental health and natural Vitamin D. One big mineral supplement that directly involves over 400 body processes along with sleep and anxiety reduction is Magnesium. As a nurse I find that not many physicians etc draw labs on magnesium levels when it is one of the most important minerals to our bodies. Years past it was easily obtained in the foods we eat based on the mineral enriched soil foods were raised in. Now that is not the case for most all vegetables and soil raised food. Magnesium comes in several forms. Magnesium citrate may cause some laxative type effects since the citrate absorbs more water in the bowels. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed easier. As always research what is best for yourself. Something else that I add is NAC (N-acetyl-L-Cysteine) and Zinc. It helps with antioxidant support, cellular health and immune support. With all supplements look for the USP on the label meaning it has been dietary supplement verified here in the US.
Great info! Thank you for sharing! I will ask for a magnesium test for sure. I have taken it on and off for occasional leg cramps or sleep but I think I might be getting enough with my green smoothies with organic greens...One of the things I do for sleep is walk my pup to the east facing beach in the mornign and let the mornign sun hit my face and eyes with no sunscreen. Not only does this hopefully help with vitamin D but it helps reset my circadian rythm and has been helpful for mood and sleep. All bets are off in the winter though and I am forced to pull out my SAD light therapy.
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty Thank you for the wonderful response. I just love your videos especially since I feel you make me feel at home (yay Minnesota). I also share the no walk in the dead of winter and have a sun lamp. Keep up the wonderful job and I love your tiny cottage.
Thanks, Tamara. This was very interesting. I take most of these supplements but not fish oil - although I have been thinking about Krill oil and not CoQ10 yet. The NMN is new to me thank you. I am very interested in the BioSil. I don’t like the powders and currently taking collagen in tablet form but not convinced it does anything. I like the idea of stimulating collagen production much better! Btw-Kimberly @ Pretty Over 50 is a huge fan of Chaga mushrooms.
Everyone needs Fish oils according to my Functional medicine Dr.! So so important for brain, joints, skin & inflammation etc... It's also good to rotate them I'm currently using Nordic Naturals Pro DHA 1000 a higher DHA is great for brain health, and Standard Process Tuna omega-3 are both excellent clean brands. 😊
Great informative video! I noticed Ashwagandha didn’t make your list what are your thoughts? I’m big on cognitive supplements and 2 I’ve recently started using are methylene blue drops and Sunifiram both seem to add to my focus and cognitive function. I’m also using Kuli Kuli brand moringa powder which I like. What are your thoughts on keeping the liver and kidneys healthy while taking multiple supplements? Also I’d like your thoughts on a supplement regimen for sleep as I’ve struggled with sleep issues for years. Keep up the good work!!
Like you, I have taken many supplements for many years but recently had my eyes opened during a visit with a nephrologist because I was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. He asked why I took so many supplements saying they stressed the kidneys because they all had to be processed by the kidneys. He stressed getting what our bodies need by eating organic fresh food. I've cut my supplements way back to a quality high-end daily vitamin, D with K2, and multi-B vitamin. I'm 84 so not a kidney transplant candidate. I will do everything possible to protect my kidneys and keep kidney disease from progressing. "Let food be your medicine."
Love listening to you. You are just so knowledgeable 🌟🌟 I wish I were not on such a low fixed income, so that I could go back to more supplements. I absolutely believe in them🌟 When I drink my fruit/yogurt/water smoothie, I add walnuts, chia, and flaxseed. I have not had good luck with greens in them and my stomach 😳 I too try to add to my diet for anti inflammatory results due to having Fibro, hashis, and arthritis. I also need both needs replaced 🤦🏻♀️ I know , a wreck😂. But I have no insurance either. Anyway love supplements and used to see an MD and holistic Dr
@Zuzu's Petals If at all possible try Boswellia! It's a game changer with autoimmune issues. Watch Dr. Mandell's video from 2017 here on CZcams, you will be amazed! I've just started using the Boswellia 3 months ago and it's been a Godsend for me and all my autoimmune issues! Everyone I've told and is using it they all agree it helps inflammation and so much more.
Wonderful video! Quick note: probiotics are a tricky subject and it's extremely hard to access their quality, technically their storage method is not a gage of effectiveness. Seed Probiotics does lots of r&d and theirs don't need to be stored in the fridge.
I’d love to try Seed probiotics, but they’re not in my budget. Bobby from Flav City, does a good job of promoting them. He knows his stuff for sure ! Are they worth the price ? May have to rethink it, but I can’t find reviews on them.
@@debbiewalker273 just my opinion but I took the Seed Probiotics for over 6 months and didn't see any difference from the probiotic I get from Whole Foods (and like Tamara, I switch around) except for the cost. Seed is very spendy! I'd save your money.
I like this video. Lots of good recommendations. I must first say that I tend to rotate my supplements. There are a few that are anchor supplements that I take because they are essential, work well with my body, and produce consistent results: Magnesium (in the form of OxyFlush), Probiotics (both tablet and whole/live foods like fermented sauerkraut), B-12 spray, Omega 3's (not everyday), Eye Vitamins, and Vitamin K (triple play), and Greska's Carbon 60. I have other supplements that I rotate as needed including collagen powder and some herbs. I have learned to not get locked into certain supplements. I have taken NMN before but didn't feel it was worth the cost. I have tried many others - I am always open minded, but I realize that a good whole food diet is always primary. I am 65 and have not been to a 'medical doctor' since leaving the military in the late 80's. I have evolved a very different life than most sedentary people. I have learned to trust my instincts and intuition when it comes to food, exercise, and supplements. Experiment and see what works for you - people are very different.
Thank you for the reminder! I added the schedule to the description box. But here it is: MY SUPPLEMENT SCHEDULE (this is just how I do it so I don't have too take so many all at once) AM on empty stomach: NMN, Sirt6Activator, AM after breakfast: Vit C, D3/K2, Omega3, Probiotic PM with or without food: B12, BioSil, COQ10, Lions Mane, iRestore 3 in 1 Hair Growth, And a green smoothie most days which is LOADED with vitamins and minerals!
I’m slowly catching up but I wanted to say that initially I was going to pass on this because I take what I take and they’re almost all gummies😂. However, I left you on and heard you mention that it’s a no-no to take fish oil while on blood thinners. I had a borderline cholesterol reading and decided to add fish oil supplements (I’ll do anything for gummies). I guess I was taking them daily for about two weeks. When I heard what you said, I looked it up and the reason is the fish oil thins your blood also and can result in several unintended side effects like upset stomach, diarrhea, and nausea, all of which was happening to me with increasing frequency. So I stopped and so did the symptoms. So I have you to thank for that alert! 😊
Wow! I'm so glad you found out what was causing your symptoms! My cholesterol was creeping up a few years ago, I think it's a genetic thing, I swear the thing that helped bring it down was Oatmeal! I added Oatmeal most days and the next year my cholesterol was down for the first time in 3 years. I sort of got away from it so thanks for the cholesteral/Oatmeal reminder. Now that we are going into the colder months will add it back into my breakfast rotation.
Hi, I just came across your channel, very interesting vitamins regimen you have, alot of theses I'm familiar with, Nordic Natural, I've taken , niw taking there cod. Liver oil by them. I also take vitamin C, biotin, and D3 k2 blend. The other supplements donotage, I did see some ad on that supplement, CQ I'm familiar with, I used to take some years ago, now seeing your channel, I'm looking forward to introducing some mentioned here back in my regimen regularly. I do not eat meat , now for many years, so B12 is something I definitely need to be on regularly, and probiotic is something I have taken every day, and have given to my kids as well. I to know what do you do for protein, as women get older, especially in menopausal, they use muscle mass, what do you take for protein, I'm 58, and I have been a advocate for my health care, taken care of wellness for myself since 16, of age, started working in a health store, and studied alot of theses supplements early on in life. Which I feel have contributed to me looking alot younger than my age. Great job 👏 👍
You and I take about the same supplements. I an Vegan though, so I do take Vegan Collegen Peptides, which are supposed to increase college production (I know they help ALOT w my arthritis and make my skin li8k much smoother. I was taking NAD but the experts are at odds about weather these are harmful or helpful (or neither one!) Thx...great video!!
Is there a specific reason you take your vitamin c and b12 separately? I take a multi B and a c vitamin together as it was recommended I take them together for better absorption(can’t remember which is better absorbed).
Great information Tamara, very useful. This is a subject I don't know much about but should. Since I've had covid last year I only take D3 125 mcg and Magnesium for leg cramps. When you mentioned b12 it reminded me I should go back on that. That Lions Mane sounded interesting. Your daughters occupation made me think of my son who's into holistic medicine. When I had covid, he bought me a special tea and drove 1 and 1/2 hrs to my house to drop off. 😘 great video thank you 🤗
If I could go back in time to when I was peri menopausal I would take a steroid precursor hormone. And I would definitely stay on the birth control pill 24/7 before my thirties. So the pill through 35 and then pregnenolone or another precursor after 35 until menopause. And then likely HRT. But since I didn’t do that consistently I’m now on HRT with no end in sight. I felt like I had decent nutrition, exercised, minimized stress, blah blah blah yet still ended up with osteopenia around 40 which is pretty much insane. I’ve heard the same things about the mushrooms.
I've been taking collagen for three or four months and I noticed that my hair is growing back and it's darker than my hair hair. I have gray hair and now I'm getting darker hair. I didn't know that would happen
Hi Tamara, off topic, but have you heard and tried reading and following Marie Kondo's "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" ? This is a process you can go through to feel 20 years younger
Have you tried Andrew Lessman vitamins and supplements? His company, ProCaps labs runs entirely on solar energy, and he does his research on every supplement they sell. Can be pricey, but worth checking out.
Yes! Between Lion's Mane and Wordl, its a little hard to tell exactly what is helping...it takes a village LOL. But I just reordered Lion's Mane AND a few other mushroom pills such as Chaga, Reishi and Tremula...I'm on the mushroom band wagon for sure!.
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty Great, thank you! Yes love the Wordle! I was curious about the Biosil as well if you are still using it and see a difference? It's almost a year since you posted this update, maybe time for an updated update soon? Thank you ♥
I am a Chemist. The lady s video is absolutely correct,you need to supplement vitamin C as unless you are growing your own fruit & veg and eating them raw immediately on picking them you will not get much vitamin c . Vit C breaks down & easily degrades just by exposure to air & 40 deg temperatures.You are completely misinformed. L-Ascorbic Acid is the chemical name of vitamin c molecule in nature & not all L-Ascorbic Acid ( vitamin C) supplements are from Corn! Vitamin C unfortunately needs to be supplemented n matter how healthy your diet is as the amount of vitamin c in natural food is usually around 100mg and buying supermarket fruit & veg depended on their storage depletes vitamin c from natural food even further so you will need to eat kilos of vitamin c rich food to get about 1000mg of Vitamin C.
Vitamin d. It's not just about getting enough sun it's about how your body absorbs it. This is where we are behind in the UK. We can't just ask our gp for this kind of blood work
I love the B12 spray. Been using it for a long while. I use Vit D/K as a spray also. Sublingual!!! Always a good way to go. You look especially smooth, plump and glowing today!!!
Thank you for all this information. I’m just starting this journey. Have a great week!❤️
It is not true that non-refrigerated probiotics are "dead" and refigerated ones are "alive." In fact, tge refrigerated ones are often shipped and stored in non-refrigerated conditions before they reach the refridgerator of your health food store (source, workers at supplement/vitamin shops). They are all formulated to be shelf stable (need to be stored at room temp in dry conditions). The cooler temp of refrigerator does extend the bacterial life though. But it is not necessary to life for probiotics in shelf-stable formulations.
Thank you for sharing!
It totally depends on thr probiotic
What happens when those refrigeratorated probiotics hit your very warm gut? 🤔
@@maressacox it gets warmed up very quickly! TBS, the probiotic should be poured into a glass about 15 minutes b4 consuming it.
I loved the end and the bloopers and so many helpful supplements too!
Tamara ~ thank you for sharing this info. You touched on a few areas that were of great help to me and, as I trust your advice, I will be switching some of my current supps to your fabulous suggestions. Jane
I just ordered the probiotics! I can’t wait to try them. I’ve been in need of some for a while now. Thank you ❤😊
Great video Tamara! Thank you so much. 😊😄💕
I love your hairstyle. I'm currently wearing my 1-year grey hair in a pixie and would like it to be longer. Your hair looks so nice.
This was such wonderful information. I’m all about supplements. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week and take care.😊
Hi Tamara! I take a calcium supplement and also one for my hair, skin and nails. This was very helpful especially about the Vit D as we are lacking in sunshine here as well. Love how you matched your eyeshadow with your top, very pretty! Have an awesome week my friend! 🤗💖
Thank you Mel! The days are growing shorter...hopefully you are aabe to get out an enjoy some autimn sunshine! ❤️
Great video Tamara
Wonderful video. Others need to hear and see your success! Well done.
Thanks Tamara ❤️
I watch Claudia and appreciate her supplement recs.
Really enjoyed the information in this one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the info. Great video!
Glad it was helpful!
I love this!
This is very helpful. Thank you
Thank you Ranalynn!
@ Tamara's Timeless Beauty Hey Beautiful!😍That is so cool that your daughter is an Herbalist!🌿You've got an amazing self-care routine!🙌🏼I love the B12 spray also! Have a lovely week, my friend! XoCher🤍🌹🤍
I always learn so much about self care, skin care and health and wellness on YOUR lovely channel! 😘💕❤️
Hello Tamara! Loved this! I, too, take quite a few supplements --per doctor recommendations. I love the Q10, also I had no idea about K3 with vitamin D. I need took into that. I've been looking into Lions Mane as well. I'm unable to go on HRT, and there are times I have anxiety and foggy brain due to being post menopausal. I've bern wondering if this would help with that. I'm going to check it out. Thank you! ♥️🙏
K2 mk7 (not K3) removes calcium from arteries and tissues and moves it to the bones.
Great, informative video Tamara! It was your advice that made me look into whether I needed a calcium supplement . And so important to get your bloods tested. As someone with an underactive thyroid I can't take any supplement with iodine. I'm going to look into your biotin supplement as I don't think mine is working anymore! Have a great week!
Thank you Dez! Glad your found it helpful...and yes, extra important to work with your MD when you have thryoid issues. Have a great week!
Hi T! I would love to try some of the supplements you take. Especially interested in the mushrooms as well.
I take many of the same as you, but I also take MK-7, an active form of K2. Astaxanthin as my antioxidant, Phytoceramides for skin barrier function and Acetyl L-carnitine to help with memory and energy.
Thank you for your helpful video! I always enjoy watching 😘
Hi luv, green video! You look stunning! Thank you for the lovely shoutouts

I always learn so much from you! ❤️
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty ❤🧡💛
Time Release vitamin C is also the way to go.
Thank You! Great Video
Thank you so much for this informative video, Tamara! It was really fun to see what you take :D I just love all of your videos haha!
Moon Juice has a powder form of the Tremella mushroom - they call it vegan collagen haha!
I can really relate to your daughter's story. Too much of anything can be bad. For the last 7 years, I was a strict vegan and ate mostly raw fruits and vegetables, thinking that this was healing to the body. Raw vegans believe that they are invincible on this diet. Contrary to my belief, I had low bone density (I'm in my 30s). This really made me realize that calcium and many other nutrients from greens are poorly absorbed.
So I've been watching your nutritional video to take some notes! It would be great to see more health/diet content from you
YES! What a nice change of pace! I enjoyed hearing about your supplements as I've been getting back into supplements for the various benefits - especially mushrooms! I'm definitely going to look into adding Tremella to ever growing arsenal. Happy Sunday, Tamara! 🥰
p.s. Your sweater is so cute! ☺
Thank you Kimberly!
Thanks for all the info ! I really would like to look into taking a mushroom supplement. I don’t take Calcium (mineral form) either, because of the increased risk of heart attack. I was taking a plant derived calcium for a while, but it’s very expensive, so discontinued it. I take D3 with K2, and magnesium. Hoping that will help my bone health. I also take B12 & B Complex, a good fish oil, New Chapter, but have also taken the Nordic Naturals, and may go back to that brand. I need to find a good probiotic, and just may use your method, to get the best variety of strains. I’ve been using the unrefrigerated types, and they don’t seem to help much. I actually need to rethink & update my supplements, so thank you for making this video. Got me to think more about my health again. ☺️💜☺️
Glad you mentioned taking calcium , I stopped taking too . B12 is hard to absorb , i take sublingual too . I don’t eat meat . The shots are best but I’m a chicken
Thank you !
Thank you , I have taken vitamin C , D and E I used to work for Blackmores well over 50 years ago . I also take turmeric capsules , was making my own turmeric mix but it is very messy .
I know we all have a story to tell on the supplements we take. I relate to most of the vitamins, supplements you are taking, like D3/K2, Omega 3 wild caught, C, B12, and a few others. I also take magnesium (600mg), calcium Citrate about 800mg. I can not get enough calcium from food (I drink 2 cups coffee at day), Over 6 months again I had a scan of my arteries had too much plaque had a Angio-plasty in the hosptial, came out with no problems. I quit taking calcium supplements as I have the same info you have about how bad they are, it's liking putting cement in your arteries. Sadly I got severe pain in my chest bone, so I started taking calcium citrate instead, less mg than I used to take, hoping to get most of my calicium from food. That did the trick, my chest pain went away. I drink 1 cup of Kefir in the morning, isn't that a probiotic? If not I eat low-fat greek yogurt, I could go on but I really enjoyed your reporting on all the products you researched for this video. I will look more into.(I'm 72). So far, so good.Thank you for this video, You are the best!!
yes I take too many vitamins ,but you take your research which is good
Yes!! Ubeqinol is best form of CoQ10 and is best to take a B complex instead of just B-12. Thorne is a great Compton. And yes to nmn!!!
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed hearing, and learning about your supplements, Tamara. Every time I find one I want to take, it says don't take if on blood thinner. Hopefully this spring I will be getting the Amulet Device implanted, and I can say goodbye to Coumadin!! In the meantime, I can keep learning. You look fantastic!! Many blessings..MaryEllen
So true...coumadin is a tricky one! How wonderful it will be for you to be able to say goodbye to coumadin! I hope you are enjoying some beautiful autumn sunshine. Happy Birthday Month to you!
I definitely need to try the Sirt 2 supplement
This is SO interesting to me! I am very interested in and take supplements myself too. Some are the same as you. You asked about Chaga Mushrooms and I make a tea out of Chaga chunks and drink it daily. I love it. I also am a huge fan of liposomal vitamin C and while I used to take the brand you take I found one in capsule form that I like as much as the packets. I will be looking into some of the other's you mentioned! Thanks Tamara!
Thank you for sharing about Chaga Tea! I need to start that for sure! Happy Sunday Sallie ❤️
That reminds me to get my favorite sweater out 😀
you should consider astaxanthin. it protects mitochondria from getting damaged. i noticed that some brands dont provide sufficient amounts of astaxanthin. (6mg per day). my skin got clearer from it. this is my favorite anti oxidant.
Great video. I am 41 and I take fish oil, vit d3+k2, B complex, NAC, sulforaphane, turmeric and black pepper, verisol collagen every day and zinc and magnesium (two or three times per week).
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Hi dear,what brand verisol collagen do you use? Thank you!
I have been using Saw Palmetto and then got worried when I read that women shouldn't take it, hmmm. Maybe I will start back up on it, good to know I can or that I feel better about it! The information said for men only.
Tamara, this is so helpful! I take a calcium supplement daily and now I’m going to do more research. Side note; my brother turned orange as a toddler because he was obsessed with carrots. Im glad your daughter was okay!
Thank you Beth! And Yes, please research calcium...some of the potential negative effects are pretty scary.
Great info. I take b complex, elderberry with zinc & c, collagen powder, vit d, eye vitamin, CoQ10 and cranberry for these reasons: nerve health, immunity, vit D bone since I’m on thyroid med, CoQ10 for my statin med and cranberry for urinary health.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Tamara I take most of the same vitamins ,but I do take 2 eye vitamins everyday.I do take Biotin I think that really works I have been taken it for 2 years and I see a big difference in my hair. I am a vegan so I get a lots of nutrients. Hugs Bea
Thank you for sharing Bea! ❤️
Thank you
I take several supplements as well. One that you and I both take is the B 12 spray. I try to take it earlier in the day because it will give me nightmares if I take it too late. Be warned! ❤️
I haven't had that problem...but thank you for sharing! It might help someone. ❤️
This was a very helpful video Tamera. You’ve given me a lot to think about! Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Tamara great information I!!! also take tumeric as its a fantastic anti inflamitory herb & Kfibre which is a prebiotic whole plant natural fibre
Enjoyed your video. Do you take TMG (trimethylglycine) with your NMN? Dr David Sinclair recommends TMG when talking NMN.
My friend had the same carrot 🥕 emergency! I’m curious about adding NMN (I could used some energy 😅) & liposomal Vit C 🤔…I love your cautions. My MD and I are always tweaking my supplements along my aging journey. Happy Sunday ❤
Happy Sunday Cindy! Your son's wedding sounds amazing! ❤️
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty it was wonderful!
NMN?
Vitamins in vegetables and fruits are usually just precursors to real vitamins, and should be converted by body. Conversion rate is poor about 2-4% and sometimes because of genetic deffects is 0%. Eat meat, especially liver - it is best source of bioavailable vitamins and minerals.
You are beautiful!! Love your videos. Thanks for sharing
Reishi mushrooms are great
Luv luv luv ALL your videos but especially health ones!!!!! Your the reason I bought myself a Vitamix!!!
Been taking the @donotage supplements for one year now! They are clean with no fillers!!!!Still admiring my FAV nurse!!! Looking gorgeous Tamara!!!!💞💞 Sending you love & light from Kenosha Wisconsin 💕💕💯
Thank you Kim! And Yay Vitamix! It's great to hear donotage supplements are working for you! 💚
Yes I bought a Vitamix too I love making smoothies.soups and creams
I take a lion’s mane tincture every morning and drink chaga tea often. I do think the lion’s mane helps me with energy and focus. I like the taste of chaga tea - very earthy and I either drink it plain or put it right on with my morning coffee. I also have some reishi tea that I drink now and then, but it takes longer to brew and at a higher water temp. Medicinal mushrooms are becoming more and more widely used.
Thanks for sharing!!
Tamara, thanks for all the info shared. Two Q’s and a comment: I also take liposomal C & have for years. I was instructed to take it 1st thing in the am on an empty stomach so it gets right into the gut. I see you take yours after a meal?
2nd Q: does taking B12 in the evening have any effect on your sleep ability?
Wanted to mention Dr Andrew Weil is also a huge fan of medicinal mushrooms and has a lot of interesting research posted on his site
Interesting about the Liposomal Vitamin C...the directions on my package say it can be taken with or without food. B12 has not impacted my sleep...but you are the second person to mention that. The only reason I don't take it in the morning is that my understanding is it should not be taken at the same time as Vit C, which I take in the morning. And thank you for reminding me about Andrew Weil! I'll explore his information on mushrooms for sure!
Wow you have great skin...
Oh, sorry...after listening to the last few min, just wanted to add, if you haven't listened to Dr Li on YT you Should!! He is an MD who is also an Expert in Food and Longevity! Rare for an MD, I know!! ALSO....there is alot coming out about Melatonin as an Antioxident as well as sleep inhancer, and I recently bought a face cream with Melatonin in it (Amazon). Wonderful !!! Thx again....love your well prepared videos!!
Thank you for sharing! I will check out Dr. Li!
Great video
❤️
I agree with you on most of your supplements. I will have to say that the vitamin C ascorbic acid is only the outer shell of the whole molecule and usually derive from GMO corn starch. You’re way better off going with a whole Food vitamin C such as Camu powder or acerola cherry powder. Ascorbic acid is very good as a therapeutic for IV use for cancer. I also take Nordic natural cod liver oil and I was taking 5000 IUs of vitamin D and I had my blood work done and my D levels were too high. My doctor told me to cut back on the vitamin D supplements.
@Julie Larson curious to know what your vitamin D level was that says it's too high, if you wouldn't mind sharing? Conventional medicine will say 20-40ng/ml is fine but Functional medicine Drs will say optimal vitamin D levels the higher the better like 80-100. I guess it also depends what's best for each individual depending on health issues like with autoimmune diseases etc... My experience is the higher the better for me I have autoimmune issues and was severely deficient about 10 years ago and now I'm optimal at a 95 and when severely deficient I was a 9 and felt like death!
@@allison471 it was close to 100. I backed down from 5,000iu to 2,000iu. Too much of a good thing isn’t good. It can deplete you in other areas. My doc is a functional doc. I also have an autoimmune disease…hashimotos. I don’t go to a conventional doc for my thyroid. 😁
@@julie5158 Hi Julie and thank you, I appreciate your response as I'm always trying to share and learn from others. I knew from your 1st comment it definitely sounded like you know your stuff and sounds like we have a lot in common and are on the same page. I know conventional medicine Drs can put fear in people about vitamins and nutrients and that's why I asked about your vitamin D level, so thank you! It's my understanding vitamin D toxicity is very rare but I guess it does happen through super high doses on a daily basis from my research and that of my Functional medicine Dr. Also when I went to my MD and he told me my vitamin D level was great and super impressed he asked what brand and form I was using! Lol I was shocked he didn't tell me it was too high. I guess 95 is my sweet spot 😊
@@julie5158 Thx, and good to know but everyone be aware that Dr.'s are over-diagnosing hashimotos. It is a huge money maker with all the Dr. visits, pills, tests, xrays, tx, etc. I did massage and was alarmed how many women wrote hahimotos on their health history form.
@@allison471 5000 iu s whether your on the sun or not .. says doc A.Hoffer.
Great video. Thank u so much. PRETTY OVER FIFTY …Kimberly …. Is a big Chaga mushroom user.
I'm really impressed with your supplement selection! I pretty much take all those and a few more but if you're wondering if there's anything missing I would say glutathione (liposomal form) is your 1 major omission for longevity and general well-being and phytoceramides for skin rejuvenation, Hope that helps! 💖🙆🏼♀️
Thank you Nora! And thank you for sharing!! ❤️
@@cathykin514 thx for letting me know. I just deleted and reported. I’ll go through and clean up the comments. Darn spammers!
From my research i found that bioavailability of glutathione supplements is low. N-Acetyl-Cysteine and Glycine supplements together (precursors to glutathione) raise glutathione levels more effectively than glutathione supplements themselves, from what studies I have seen.
Sorry-- I missed the "liposomal form" of glutathione mentioned. Liposomal form has been found to be well-absorbed. But it might be more cost-effective to supplement with NAC and glycine instead to raise glutathione levels, as liposomal glutathione is quite expensive, and NAC and glycine are not.
I take a lot of the supplements you do. I take a liquid salmon oil every day from wild caught salmon. It has made a huge difference. My latest discovery is Seed propiotics. They are amazing. I have tried so many other good brands but these are the best! Completely wiped out every gut issue. I have had so many diverticulitis attacks in the last several years and they were getting more and more frequent. My doctor wanted to do surgery but I kept putting it off. I have been taking Seed for a little over a year and my diverticulitis has not flared up at all since I started. My entire gut is working so much better. They are expensive and sometimes I just take 1 instead of 2 each day and I still get the same results.
Thank you for sharing! Several people have mentioned Seed...it's great to hear your amazing results. I need to check it out!
I take niacinamide but would like to check out the NMN. Also for hair growth, for me there is nothing better, inexpensive or works as well as pumpkin seed oil. I suffered from quite a lot of hair loss due to a period of high stress.Having always had thick hair, it became very scary. I heard about pumpkin seed oil and with nothing to lose, gave it a try. I parted my hair and rubbed the oil along the part and a little goes a long way. Let it stay there about 3 to 4 hours then wash out. Took only 3 weeks until I saw quite a bit of growth. I now only use it every 6 weeks for a couple of weeks to ensure and support the hair growth.
Thank you for sharing!
Hi Tamara. I love all your videos. Can you please let me know where I can get the iRestore 3 in 1 hair growth please? I don’t see a link on the description box. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the reminder! I just added a couple of links to the iRestore in the description box.
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty thank you so much 😊
I love how you say ask your doctor to test you for xyz! Our GP’s don’t take kindly to us doing their jobs lol.
There is actually a study (or more than one) on verisol collagen in particular but there are some on ingesting collagen as well. It does do some good. Supplements I take: Magnesium Citrate (I have a history of tachychardia and a nurse in the ER told me to give it a try. Sad he had to whisper that to me, because he could have gotten into trouble for suggesting it. I was there with my second bout of Tach within a few months) That was 15 years ago and I never had another tach episode.
I also take Vitamin C, twice a day. B Complex. Probiotic. D3/K2 (I test low in D3 so much that even with supplements I have to do the RX D3 things once every 5-8 years or so. Midwestern living!). I take Omega3s occasionally and try to eat a lot of fish. I'm starting to have serious arthritis issues in one hand and one foot so I'm considering starting glucosamine/chondroitin to see if that helps. I also ingest a collagen supplement once a day, also hoping that helps my arthritis a little.
High dose fish oils may help with the inflammation as well as hyaluronic acid. Good luck
Hi thank you for sharing this it was very helpful
See you soon 🌺🌸
Great video! I found NMN about a year ago (after going thru 2 major surgeries) and have been taking 1000 mg a day since then. It is costly but I too have felt a huge difference in my energy levels. I power walk 4 to 6 miles every day and have for 2 years. Some days I even jog now since I feel so good! I will be 64 in a few months. I take B12, I am plant based since my illness, K2, D3, C, Zinc, Selenium for thyroid, Resveratrol and TMG which are suggested with NMN. You look stunning, I hope you have a wonderful week ahead! xoxo Debbie😘
Thank you for sharing!
What is TMG?
@@Jennyleeceo it is trimethylglycine which is found in the body in the form of amino acids. It is in beets and spinach but not too many foods contain it. The liver is the main organ that produces this acid, and it has many health benefits. It is recommended to take the same mg amount as you take of the NMN. In order for the body to produce NAD it requires a methylation process which the TMG supports. It is a very affordable supplement and also helps with energy which is why many bodybuilders take it. Hope this helps!!
@@touchofclass6415 Thank you so much for this information ❣️ I didn't know about this. I take NMN so this will work for me.
@@Jennyleeceo you are very welcome!! 😘
Look into Vitamin B1 mega dose! Try it for yourself. it's the most underrated supplement. Of course, magnesium and zinc are great too. also, B2, B3 (for skin), and B5. Be careful of B6, don't take that as the syntheic version is toxic.
Very good video. Yes, in Minnesota many are deficient in this vitamin due to lack of sunlight at times with the seasonal changes. Also with using so much sunscreen the natural Vitamin D cannot get into our bodies. I make sure that I get 15-30 minutes direct sunlight to my face prior to sunscreen and this is also wonderful for mental health and natural Vitamin D.
One big mineral supplement that directly involves over 400 body processes along with sleep and anxiety reduction is Magnesium. As a nurse I find that not many physicians etc draw labs on magnesium levels when it is one of the most important minerals to our bodies. Years past it was easily obtained in the foods we eat based on the mineral enriched soil foods were raised in. Now that is not the case for most all vegetables and soil raised food. Magnesium comes in several forms. Magnesium citrate may cause some laxative type effects since the citrate absorbs more water in the bowels. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed easier. As always research what is best for yourself.
Something else that I add is NAC (N-acetyl-L-Cysteine) and Zinc. It helps with antioxidant support, cellular health and immune support.
With all supplements look for the USP on the label meaning it has been dietary supplement verified here in the US.
Great info! Thank you for sharing! I will ask for a magnesium test for sure. I have taken it on and off for occasional leg cramps or sleep but I think I might be getting enough with my green smoothies with organic greens...One of the things I do for sleep is walk my pup to the east facing beach in the mornign and let the mornign sun hit my face and eyes with no sunscreen. Not only does this hopefully help with vitamin D but it helps reset my circadian rythm and has been helpful for mood and sleep. All bets are off in the winter though and I am forced to pull out my SAD light therapy.
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty Thank you for the wonderful response. I just love your videos especially since I feel you make me feel at home (yay Minnesota). I also share the no walk in the dead of winter and have a sun lamp. Keep up the wonderful job and I love your tiny cottage.
Thanks, Tamara. This was very interesting. I take most of these supplements but not fish oil - although I have been thinking about Krill oil and not CoQ10 yet. The NMN is new to me thank you. I am very interested in the BioSil. I don’t like the powders and currently taking collagen in tablet form but not convinced it does anything. I like the idea of stimulating collagen production much better! Btw-Kimberly @ Pretty Over 50 is a huge fan of Chaga mushrooms.
Everyone needs Fish oils according to my Functional medicine Dr.! So so important for brain, joints, skin & inflammation etc... It's also good to rotate them I'm currently using Nordic Naturals Pro DHA 1000 a higher DHA is great for brain health, and Standard Process Tuna omega-3 are both excellent clean brands. 😊
@@allison471 Thanks for these details!
Copper is better for collergen production
@@MusicLover-sb7mo Absolutely, anytime! Take care 😊
@@allison471 You're not that knowledgeable: fish oil does NOTHING unless it's taken with phospholipids. You're welcome. :)
Great informative video! I noticed Ashwagandha didn’t make your list what are your thoughts? I’m big on cognitive supplements and 2 I’ve recently started using are methylene blue drops and Sunifiram both seem to add to my focus and cognitive function. I’m also using Kuli Kuli brand moringa powder which I like. What are your thoughts on keeping the liver and kidneys healthy while taking multiple supplements? Also I’d like your thoughts on a supplement regimen for sleep as I’ve struggled with sleep issues for years. Keep up the good work!!
I don't think she's a naturopath?
Like you, I have taken many supplements for many years but recently had my eyes opened during a visit with a nephrologist because I was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. He asked why I took so many supplements saying they stressed the kidneys because they all had to be processed by the kidneys. He stressed getting what our bodies need by eating organic fresh food. I've cut my supplements way back to a quality high-end daily vitamin, D with K2, and multi-B vitamin. I'm 84 so not a kidney transplant candidate. I will do everything possible to protect my kidneys and keep kidney disease from progressing. "Let food be your medicine."
I'm so sorry to hear your health struggles! I agree that caution is in order and whole organics foods are SO important. Sending you healing light.
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty Thank you for your kind words. Very appreciated! ❤️
Love listening to you. You are just so knowledgeable 🌟🌟 I wish I were not on such a low fixed income, so that I could go back to more supplements. I absolutely believe in them🌟
When I drink my fruit/yogurt/water smoothie, I add walnuts, chia, and flaxseed. I have not had good luck with greens in them and my stomach 😳 I too try to add to my diet for anti inflammatory results due to having Fibro, hashis, and arthritis. I also need both needs replaced 🤦🏻♀️ I know , a wreck😂. But I have no insurance either. Anyway love supplements and used to see an MD and holistic Dr
@Zuzu's Petals If at all possible try Boswellia! It's a game changer with autoimmune issues. Watch Dr. Mandell's video from 2017 here on CZcams, you will be amazed! I've just started using the Boswellia 3 months ago and it's been a Godsend for me and all my autoimmune issues! Everyone I've told and is using it they all agree it helps inflammation and so much more.
Wonderful video! Quick note: probiotics are a tricky subject and it's extremely hard to access their quality, technically their storage method is not a gage of effectiveness. Seed Probiotics does lots of r&d and theirs don't need to be stored in the fridge.
Thanks for sharing!
I’d love to try Seed probiotics, but they’re not in my budget. Bobby from Flav City, does a good job of promoting them. He knows his stuff for sure ! Are they worth the price ? May have to rethink it, but I can’t find reviews on them.
@@debbiewalker273 just my opinion but I took the Seed Probiotics for over 6 months and didn't see any difference from the probiotic I get from Whole Foods (and like Tamara, I switch around) except for the cost. Seed is very spendy! I'd save your money.

I like this video. Lots of good recommendations. I must first say that I tend to rotate my supplements. There are a few that are anchor supplements that I take because they are essential, work well with my body, and produce consistent results: Magnesium (in the form of OxyFlush), Probiotics (both tablet and whole/live foods like fermented sauerkraut), B-12 spray, Omega 3's (not everyday), Eye Vitamins, and Vitamin K (triple play), and Greska's Carbon 60. I have other supplements that I rotate as needed including collagen powder and some herbs. I have learned to not get locked into certain supplements. I have taken NMN before but didn't feel it was worth the cost. I have tried many others - I am always open minded, but I realize that a good whole food diet is always primary. I am 65 and have not been to a 'medical doctor' since leaving the military in the late 80's. I have evolved a very different life than most sedentary people. I have learned to trust my instincts and intuition when it comes to food, exercise, and supplements. Experiment and see what works for you - people are very different.
Thank you for sharing!! ❤️
Your hair looks fantastic! Love the length! ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you Melanie! ❤️
Prettyoverfifty Kimberly uses Chaga daily. Check out her video. Can you share AM and PM with and without food? Thanks for this information.
Thank you for the reminder! I added the schedule to the description box. But here it is:
MY SUPPLEMENT SCHEDULE (this is just how I do it so I don't have too take so many all at once)
AM on empty stomach: NMN, Sirt6Activator,
AM after breakfast: Vit C, D3/K2, Omega3, Probiotic
PM with or without food: B12, BioSil, COQ10, Lions Mane, iRestore 3 in 1 Hair Growth,
And a green smoothie most days which is LOADED with vitamins and minerals!
I’m slowly catching up but I wanted to say that initially I was going to pass on this because I take what I take and they’re almost all gummies😂. However, I left you on and heard you mention that it’s a no-no to take fish oil while on blood thinners. I had a borderline cholesterol reading and decided to add fish oil supplements (I’ll do anything for gummies). I guess I was taking them daily for about two weeks. When I heard what you said, I looked it up and the reason is the fish oil thins your blood also and can result in several unintended side effects like upset stomach, diarrhea, and nausea, all of which was happening to me with increasing frequency. So I stopped and so did the symptoms. So I have you to thank for that alert! 😊
Wow! I'm so glad you found out what was causing your symptoms! My cholesterol was creeping up a few years ago, I think it's a genetic thing, I swear the thing that helped bring it down was Oatmeal! I added Oatmeal most days and the next year my cholesterol was down for the first time in 3 years. I sort of got away from it so thanks for the cholesteral/Oatmeal reminder. Now that we are going into the colder months will add it back into my breakfast rotation.
Hi, I just came across your channel, very interesting vitamins regimen you have, alot of theses I'm familiar with, Nordic Natural, I've taken , niw taking there cod. Liver oil by them.
I also take vitamin C, biotin, and D3 k2 blend.
The other supplements donotage, I did see some ad on that supplement, CQ I'm familiar with, I used to take some years ago, now seeing your channel, I'm looking forward to introducing some mentioned here back in my regimen regularly. I do not eat meat , now for many years, so B12 is something I definitely need to be on regularly, and probiotic is something I have taken every day, and have given to my kids as well. I to know what do you do for protein, as women get older, especially in menopausal, they use muscle mass, what do you take for protein, I'm 58, and I have been a advocate for my health care, taken care of wellness for myself since 16, of age, started working in a health store, and studied alot of theses supplements early on in life. Which I feel have contributed to me looking alot younger than my age. Great job 👏 👍
Do you have any implants or snap on veneers? Thank you
No, so far all my own teeth!
You and I take about the same supplements. I an Vegan though, so I do take Vegan Collegen Peptides, which are supposed to increase college production (I know they help ALOT w my arthritis and make my skin li8k much smoother. I was taking NAD but the experts are at odds about weather these are harmful or helpful (or neither one!) Thx...great video!!
Is there a specific reason you take your vitamin c and b12 separately? I take a multi B and a c vitamin together as it was recommended I take them together for better absorption(can’t remember which is better absorbed).
My understanding is vitamin C can interfere with B12 absorption.
Hi I wanted to ask uubis this vitamin k

Please check with your Doctor. ❤️
Great information Tamara, very useful. This is a subject I don't know much about but should. Since I've had covid last year I only take D3 125 mcg and Magnesium for leg cramps. When you mentioned b12 it reminded me I should go back on that. That Lions Mane sounded interesting. Your daughters occupation made me think of my son who's into holistic medicine. When I had covid, he bought me a special tea and drove 1 and 1/2 hrs to my house to drop off. 😘 great video thank you 🤗
What a sweet son! ❤️
You are simply beautiful!
If I could go back in time to when I was peri menopausal I would take a steroid precursor hormone. And I would definitely stay on the birth control pill 24/7 before my thirties. So the pill through 35 and then pregnenolone or another precursor after 35 until menopause. And then likely HRT. But since I didn’t do that consistently I’m now on HRT with no end in sight. I felt like I had decent nutrition, exercised, minimized stress, blah blah blah yet still ended up with osteopenia around 40 which is pretty much insane. I’ve heard the same things about the mushrooms.
Why do you think you should have stayed on the pill before your thirties, and why steroid precursor hormones ?
I've been taking collagen for three or four months and I noticed that my hair is growing back and it's darker than my hair hair. I have gray hair and now I'm getting darker hair. I didn't know that would happen
Super interesting! Thanks for sharing!
I’m interested in knowing the reason for separating B12 and Vitamin C?
My understanding is vitamin C can interfere with the absorption of B12 supplements.
Hi Tamara, off topic, but have you heard and tried reading and following Marie Kondo's "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" ? This is a process you can go through to feel 20 years younger
Have you tried Andrew Lessman vitamins and supplements? His company, ProCaps labs runs entirely on solar energy, and he does his research on every supplement they sell. Can be pricey, but worth checking out.
Hi Beautiful Lady please where is this shop?
Love you from Dubai UAE 🇦🇪
Are you still using the Lions Mane? I was wondering if you noticed a difference?
Yes! Between Lion's Mane and Wordl, its a little hard to tell exactly what is helping...it takes a village LOL. But I just reordered Lion's Mane AND a few other mushroom pills such as Chaga, Reishi and Tremula...I'm on the mushroom band wagon for sure!.
@@TamarasTimelessBeauty Great, thank you! Yes love the Wordle! I was curious about the Biosil as well if you are still using it and see a difference? It's almost a year since you posted this update, maybe time for an updated update soon? Thank you ♥
Ascorbic acid is not vitamin C. It's synthetic and derived from GMO corn. We need the whole of vitamin C from a whole food.
I am a Chemist. The lady s video is absolutely correct,you need to supplement vitamin C as unless you are growing your own fruit & veg and eating them raw immediately on picking them you will not get much vitamin c . Vit C breaks down & easily degrades just by exposure to air & 40 deg temperatures.You are completely misinformed.
L-Ascorbic Acid is the chemical name of vitamin c molecule in nature & not all L-Ascorbic Acid ( vitamin C) supplements are from Corn! Vitamin C unfortunately needs to be supplemented n matter how healthy your diet is as the amount of vitamin c in natural food is usually around 100mg and buying supermarket fruit & veg depended on their storage depletes vitamin c from natural food even further so you will need to eat kilos of vitamin c rich food to get about 1000mg of Vitamin C.
I take Lion's Mane also
Vitamin d. It's not just about getting enough sun it's about how your body absorbs it.
This is where we are behind in the UK. We can't just ask our gp for this kind of blood work
I thought b 12 gives energy. So I take mine in the am.
Good point! I take it later in the day because I take my Vitamin C in the morning...but considering switching it around. Thanks for sharing.
If you take calcium supplements you will need to take Vitamin K 2 MK-7, which tells calcium where to go.
