I'm putting together an overall supplement and dietary guide for a male family member in his mid-50s who is in pretty good health and I would like to keep it that way and would welcome any suggestions/additions.
The primary goals are weight loss and to maintain mental health and prevent mental decline.
In terms of diet and exercise the most basic things are down, he already eats pretty healthy (quite peaty), his main sources of weight gain are down to a stressful work life which has recently been drastically reduced so now he wants to "get in shape".
Here is what I was planning to start him on, would welcome any suggestions especially with regard to neuroprotective supplements:
Gelatin: 2-3 tablespoons Daily
Energin (b-vitamins): Daily
Niacinamide: 500mg daily
Charcoal: 1-2 tablespoons Two-Three times a week.
Red Light: Full body Every other day
Magnesium: 240mg Nightly
Zinc: 15mg nightly for 2 weeks only.
Allithiamine: 100mg twice per week
Vitamin A: Once or twice a week
I plan to introduce these things slowly into his diet and regime with the goal that they become things that he learns to take on occasion when he feels he needs them rather than daily. I think these things are pretty basic but can have a profound effect. Would welcome anyone else's input.
