Jakie suplementy diety warto brać jesienią i zimą? Dr Tadeusz Oleszczuk [Sekrety Długowieczności]
- Vitamin D3 (Witamina D3):
- Crucial Supplement: Highly recommended for the autumn/winter season (September to April in Poland) because skin synthesis of D3 is inactive and most people have low levels (safe level is 50-80 ng/mL) [00:00:12], [00:00:33], [00:01:32].
- Benefits: Supports immunity, reduces infection risk, and is vital for hormone production [00:01:17], [00:01:39].
- Actionable Advice: Always check your current level before supplementation, and retest after 3-6 months to ensure the optimal level (50-60 ng/mL) is reached [00:01:24], [00:01:59].
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Kwasy omega-3):
- Component: Provides EPA and DHA, which are essential for brain structure (60% fat), nervous system function, and myelin sheaths [00:03:30], [00:03:38].
- Functions: Exhibits anti-inflammatory effects and supports the heart, brain, and overall immunity [00:03:38].
- Storage Tip: Liquid form should be consumed within one month of opening and kept in the refrigerator to prevent oxidation; capsules are more stable [00:03:48], [00:04:01].
- Magnesium (Magnez):
- Role: Helps manage stress, improves memory, and supports muscle function [00:07:05].
- Essential Cofactor: Magnesium is required as a "motor" for the majority of enzymes in the body; deficiency impairs the function of the entire organism [00:07:35], [00:07:42].
- Consumption: Choose easily absorbable and safe forms like magnesium glycinate [00:07:23]. Be mindful that diuretics like coffee and tea can deplete magnesium levels [00:07:46].
- Other Key Supplements:
- Vitamin C and Zinc: Support the immune system and shorten the duration of infections [00:05:03]. It's important to test your zinc level first to avoid harmful excess [00:04:18], [00:04:21].
- Probiotics and Prebiotics: A healthy gut microbiota is the foundation of immunity [00:06:14]. Probiotics need prebiotics (e.g., resistant starch like cold potatoes) to thrive and create beneficial conditions [00:06:24], [00:05:39].
- B Vitamins: A B-complex should be considered if the diet is poor, especially since B12 deficiency can be linked to nervous system issues and stomach problems [00:08:14], [00:08:29].
- General Supplementation Rules:
- Supplements should be individually chosen based on a person's lifestyle and real, confirmed deficiencies [00:09:16], [00:09:21].
- When buying, always check the dosage on the label to ensure the amounts are effective and not just minimal [00:08:44], [00:08:56].
- The foundation of strong immunity remains sleep, diet, and exercise [00:09:26].
