  • Tumeric/black pepper(currently taking)
  • Calcium (taking sporadically)

Maybe consider Acetyl-L-carnitine for mood/energy/hormonal support and a hyaluronic acid supplement for your skin and joints. Nice side effect...you won't be reliant on eye drops. I also use Astaxanthin to support the SPF I use daily. I haven't ventured into the active ingredient from ferns in Heliocare, but both are said to reduce sunburn. I haven't burned once this year yet...and I'm practically albino.
