Your supplement regimen is quite extensive, and it's important to be mindful of potential interactions and overdosing. Here are some pointers based on available information:
-
Iron and Copper: These two minerals can compete for absorption. Excess iron can impede copper absorption and vice versa1. Balancing the intake is crucial.
-
Multivitamin: Already contains a variety of vitamins and minerals. Adding individual vitamins (e.g., Vitamin C, B-6, B12, and Vitamin D) and minerals (e.g., magnesium) could lead to overdosing if the amounts are not carefully monitored2.
-
Magnesium Glycinate: Typically safe in recommended doses, but it's important to consider the total daily magnesium intake from all sources2.
-
Fish Oil: Generally safe, but high doses can have side effects such as increased bleeding risk3.
-
Green Tea Extract: Can interact with other supplements such as multivitamins and B-vitamins4. Overconsumption might affect liver health due to high catechin levels5.
-
Creatine and Glutamine: Both safe, but taking multiple supplements that affect muscle metabolism should be monitored for long-term effects6.
-
Herbal Supplements (Tongkat Ali, Fidogia): Limited data on interactions. It’s wise to err on the side of caution and avoid combining with other potent supplements7.
-
Acetyl L-Carnitine: Can interact with thyroid hormone levels and raise TMAO levels, potentially affecting heart health8.
-
Excess of Vitamins (e.g., B6, B12): Overconsumption can lead to toxicity over time910.
Given the complexity of your regimen, it's wise to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and regular blood tests to monitor for any imbalances or toxicity.
