My Supplement Stack

For many years, I took a multivitamin every morning and that was it. Then maybe five years ago, during my annual physical, my doctor told me I was "very vitamin B deficient." That led to a month or so of regular injections in my thigh and I've taken Vitamin B12 every day since.

Over time, I added Vitamin D3 to my daily routine. A friend on the golf course told me to try Glucosamine for my aching knees and so I added that. My dermatologist told me to add Niacinamide to my daily routine and so I did. My friend Gordon told me to start taking Omega 3s and that was added.

And now I've got a "supplement stack." I take six supplements every day and Zinc every other day. Here it is.

That link and image is powered by our portfolio company Supp's new mobile app. You use the app to read the bar codes on your supplements and it creates a stack for you. It is shareable, obviously. And you get ratings and recommendations. Here's mine:

I don't take Supp's recommendations as gospel. I share them with my doctor and a few friends who are way more into this than I am. So I may or may not be adding Lycopene and Turmeric to my stack. But I do appreciate the recommendations. And may incorporate them.

At USV, we are totally bought into patient centric health and wellness. We believe that each and every one of us should own our wellness and wellness data and the health care industry should revolve around us not the other way around. Which, unfortunately, is where we are today. Supp is a piece of that. Starting with supplements.

If you want to download the Supp app and give it a try, iOS is here and Android is here.

Thinking about creatine. What is K2?

Helps with D3 uptake - avoids the calcium issue with over consumption!
