You want to add vitamin D, 5,000 IUs a day.

You want to add omega-3, about 2 grams a day.

Also some evidence that melatonin, 3 mg a day, has antioxidant effects as well on eggs.

And then myo-inositol, about 4 grams a day as well.

And this leads into a related question by Ivana about myo-inositol and what the dose is and the reason I'm taking it.

So I was taking it, again, four grams a day.

And mostly it was for sleep, but also for ovarian reserve.

And then Karen says, in your June supplement update, you didn't mention taking

Benfotamine, collagen, lutein, or zeaxanthin, are you still taking these?

If so, when do you incorporate them?

I do take collagen every morning in my coffee.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are in my multivitamin, so I don't feel like I need to take those really separately.

And then benfotiamine I haven't been taking lately.

There's another question from Matthew Tanner asking about homocysteine.

I don't seem to talk about taking extra methylated B vitamins.

So yeah, my homocysteine is great.

I don't really take extra methylated B vitamins because I get it in my multivitamin.

In other words, it takes a lot of these methylation groups to make creatine.

And so...

that sort of takes away from the other roles that it could play, like lowering homocysteine, because you need methyl groups to convert homocysteine back into methionine, right?
