What inspired you this week?
Darya,
I’d be curious if any of these findings are impacting how you are thinking about supplements – especially your “one daily” megafood vitamin that you’ve mentioned you take.

When I stop taking a multivitamin I inevitably get a cold, so I don’t do that anymore. But I never take anything with megadoses, and aim to only take food-based vitamins.
That said I am becoming more intrigued by customized supplementation based on genetic individuality (e.g. I know I have a gene that drastically reduces my ability to use folate), which I may write more about in the future.
I use multivitamin all the time, a few times I ran out and immediately illness.
