Insights from Dr. Hack
On the role of supplements
Deficiencies in Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, and Omega-3 fish oil are very common. These are vital to bone health, calcium metabolism, heart health, and blood pressure.
Vitamin D3 is required for bone health, especially when combined with Vitamin K2. Together they enable calcium to be properly metabolized and deposited in bones, where it belongs, rather than in the coronary arteries. Omega-3 fish oil reduces blood pressure and overall risk of heart disease.
Advanced glycation end products, or AGEs, form when sugars, proteins, and fats combine, especially after reheating food. AGEs are inflammatory particles that can deposit in major arterial systems, contributing to vascular disease. They can be countered with supplements like curcumin and plant-based phytonutrients.
Supplements are important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Curcumin is a strong anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory. Probiotics are essential because exposure to toxins in our food and environment can deplete the gut of microbiome species necessary for immune health.
