What Vitamins and Minerals You Need For Longevity

HI Dr Tom... would putting milk on cereal fortified with reduced iron inhibit absorption of that iron??

[@darrellhorner500]

HI Dr. Tom... DO you take a regular Centrum or Centrum Silver?? Centrum Silver is for those over 50

@@darrellhorner500 what is the major difference between regular and silver? Iron. Whether one takes one or the other is more reliably determined by their iron status, not age. Age correlates with iron status, hence their marketing. But can’t confuse marketing with personalized nutrition. Eg If an elder has iron deficiency anemia they’d be better off on centrum regular. If a young man has insulin resistance hepatic iron overload, they are better off on silver. Hope that makes sense.

Dr. Tom... do you think it is necessary to also take trimethylglycine or betaine with b12 and folate to lower homocysteine??

[@DrTomMD]

@@darrellhorner500 unlike for most on the former two. Maybe on the latter… of course - and hate to sound like an anti-cookie cutter broken record here - but depends on individual nutrition evaluation and status.

@DrTomMD Thanks Dr Tom
