    If you could choose only three...

    Primal Fuel
    ... supplements, that is, what would they be? Is there a reason you find them essential?

    Assuming we're only counting on things we get from non-food sources (i.e. I eat seaweed to get iodine).

    Magnesium and Vitamin D. N=1 I feel better taking them.

    This! I started taking these two last week and I'm already not getting charley horses at night and feel like I recover much quicker after strength-training.

    My third would probably be calcium, which I plan on adding to my supplements soon.

    Yep, I agree with the three listed above, mag, D3 and ubiquinol. Maybe B complex too, but that's 4

    Fermented cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil

    Actually I do quite well with no supplements whatsoever. These two are just insurance.

    Be careful supplementing D3 and calcium. Improved metabolism of calcium through D3 supplementation reduces your need for calcium, making it easy to overdo it
    Why I don't worry about cholesterol:
    Lyon Diet Heart Trial
    Get With The Guidelines admission data
    Sydney Diet Heart Study revisited
    INTERHEART Study
    Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease with a Mediterranean Diet

    The problem with modern medicine is that doctors don't view the prescription of drugs as a failure to keep you healthy

    D3 - I will never question the importance of this again.
    B Complex - mostly because I like when my pee is neon, but also I have more energy.
    Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar, which I guess is really a food; I drink a little in water every day.
