I don't take much really. Echineacea for my immune system and some cod liver oil capsules, that's about it.

Let's see...this is going to make me look like an old man.

Ramipril 10mg 2x a day (ACE inhibitor)
Zocor 20mg a day (statin)
Norvasc 1x a day (forget how much...calcium channel blocker for hypertension)
Co-enzyme Q10 to counter the Q10 depletion caused by Zocor
Multivitamin
Baby aspirin

I have the Adagio TriniTEA tea maker and I drink a ton of black and white tea every day.

Multivitamin - take daily
Insulow (R-Alpha Lipoic Acid) - take occassionally
Evening Primrose Oil - take occassionally
Vitamin D3 drops - take daily
