Yeah, I do have some of the basic things that I think โ well, that I take, but also that I think that would help a majority of people that are insufficient in a lot of these micronutrients. And first and foremost, vitamin D supplement. And again, I think generally speaking โ Vitamin D, 4,000 IUs a day, pretty, for the most part, gets people to a sufficient-ish level.

You have to do a blood test to really know for certain. You may have to take a little more. But starting at 4,000 IUs a day, which is the upper top of the day, is safe. It's safe.

Exactly. Number two, omega-3 fatty acids. And this is something where Bill Harris has published studies looking at how do you get someone who is low omega-3 index, so 4% omega-3 index up to an 8%. Turns out it takes close to about two grams a day.

1.5 to 2 grams. You get most people that are in a 4% low range to an 8% high range.
