For those on PHD diet, what supplements do you take in practice and why? So far I've got 2.5k Vit D (living in Boston) and am thinking of K2. The book recommends a lot of others I'm just curious what other people have decided to do and why.

I do 4000 iu vitamin D in the winter, although I'm planning to cut back on that once I get more direct sunlight. Also, raw Brazil nuts to taste (1-2 most days a week; none other days) for the selenium. I recently started K2 drops and it seems to be clearing up my tooth discoloration/tartar. Magnesium as I feel anxious/crave it, which is usually 3 doses a week. I also do plenty of probiotics and try for a bit of seaweed daily,, although I don't remember if those are PHD-specific recommendations. I'm considering adding zinc soon with vitamin C on my next vitamin order to see if I have subjective improvements. |

I eat a diet pretty close to the PHD. I take 2500 IU vit D per day in the winter and maybe 1000-1500 IU per day in the summer. I live in NYC. My levels are pretty consistently 45-50 ng/ml. I take 45 mcg of mk-7 k2 every third day. I eat green leafy stuff a few times per week and have occasional liver and about 5-10 eggs per week. Once in a while (less than once per week) I take a drop of mk-4 K2 (100mcg drop). I take magnesium citrate (250mg) 3-4 times per week and drink Jana water. I take calcium (500 mg) once per week too. My need for mineral seems to increase with the amount of acid I consume (generally consumed to prevent GERD). For GERD, I drink Kombucha several times per week and sometimes take betaine HCL. I also limit FODMAPs. no meds needed (anymore). I add a drop of 12 IU vitamin E to my food once per day. I occasionally take 250 mg of vit C. And, occasionally take a zinc lozenge (5mg zinc). And that's it. |

I take 2000 iu of Vitamin D, Fish Oil, a multi-vitamin and a probiotic. I'm sure I'm over doing it, but I haven't been sick since I started Paleo and my vitamins. Knock on wood... :) |

I consume 4000IU of vitamin D daily in the winter. 200 mg of magnesium citrate after my final meal of the day where I eat the bulk of my carbs. 500 mg of vitamin C 4 times a day before and between meals. About once or twice a week I will take 50 mg of zinc with my first dose of vitamin C. |

I take the full range of their standard recommendations. Why? I have numerous health issues so decided to go with their recommendations and look for improvement. But I am wondering whether to drop the 200 mcg of chromium. I need to look into that one more as there have been suggestions about a link with kidney issues. |
