Thorne Multi-vitamin Elite

I'm taking a multivitamin for the normal reasons that people take multi's.  To make sure I have all the vitamins that I should have.  Also, in the pacific northwest actually needing to supplement vitamin D due to lack of sun is a real thing.

As far as why this multi, that's easy.  This is NSF certified and Thorne tracks and tests the ingredients that go in their products.

Kirkland Krill Oil

To get all the benefits associated with omega 3 fatty acids. I've already seeing the benefits to my cholesterol.  I think I've felt the difference for the inflammation, but that's trickier as it's more subjective instead of objective.  In any case, there are enough tests validating the benefits of omega 3s that this is an easy add.

Origin Labs Jocko Joint Warfare

The krill oil is supposed to help with joint health as well, but I decided to double down on joint health as I am a big guy (so more weight on the joints) and I already have a torn meniscus.  This will hopefully extend the life of my joints in my decrepitude.

trunature Vision Complex

Due to some scarring in my eye and upon recommendation from my optometrist to take in more lutein and zeaxanthin.  He recommended eating more goji berries.  I don't eat dried berries, and I can't easily get fresh goji berries, so I went for a supplement.  I also wasn't about to regularly consume goji berries on a daily/weekly basis.

I saw the trunature Vision Complex supplement at Costco and saw it was a pretty well rated supplement.

Host Defense Mushroom MyCommunity

I'm a fan of Paul Stamets and his mycology work.  There are also plenty of studies demonstrating the health benefits of various fungii.  I decided to focus on immune system as I have 4 young children who are going through their "sticky" phases.

Xlear Nasal Spray

I tend toward sinusitis, and when I get it, if it's not already bacterial it will turn into a bacterial infection.  Xylitol proven only in rabbit models to reduce sinusitis.  However, I have good anecdotal evidence of it working for me.
