Anti-Aging Supplementation Options Part 1 - Best Bang For The Buck

BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK

I’m not a trust fund baby, so I realize that supplements are expensive, but they’re probably cheaper than the possible consequences of not taking them, i.e. doctor’s bills, hospitalization, shorter life span, lower quality of life (for an explanation, see my post Why People Need To Take Nutritional Supplements).

That puts us some of us between a rock and a hard place.

We know that in order to be in the best possible health, we should buy organic groceries, cook every meal from fresh ingredients, work out at the gym, make time to relax and have fun so we don’t get burned out, and obtain all the high quality supplements desirable for anti-aging. But a lot of us just don’t have the time or the money.

(If you aren’t sold on these suggestions as the path to good health, check out these posts: Exercise, Longevity, and Antiaging; Cardiovascular Exercise to Reduce Aging; and Poisons In Our Food Supply.)

So, for people who are living paycheck to paycheck, it all comes down to getting the best bang for the buck.

If you don’t know which supplements to consider, take a look at these posts: Antioxidants — Protection From Free Radicals, Hormone Replacement Supplements, Function Specific Supplements, and Omega-3 Acids and Fish Oil – Good For What Ails You?

When you start to count up all of these supplements, it seems like a lot. And it is. In fact, there are so many, that I’ve gotten a pill dispenser so I can keep track.

What I’ve found is that the most practical way for me personally to take these vitamins is twice a day, once in the morning after breakfast and once after lunch.

One way to kill a lot of birds with one stone is to get a high quality multivitamin, which effectively combines a large number of supplements.

I’ve put together a couple of alternative plans for myself, so if I find myself with more disposable income some day, I can take my anti-aging supplementation program to the next level.
