Supplements - one Centrum, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, niacin, garlic, gingko bioboa, vitamin E, vitamin C, a liquid essential mineral supplement. The vitmin / mineral supplement advocate in this household is hubby - he added most of these to my diet. I added more magnesium after reading PPLP.

The niacin is the quick release kind - my Dad's doctor feels taking 500mg daily helps cardiovascular health - a contention supported by research. This causes me to experience flushing for about 20 mins as it causes vasodilation. Many cannot handle this side effect - it doesn't bother me that much.
