The Guardian 7-13-24 Five Doctors on the Supplements They Swear by from Vitamin D to Lion’s Mane
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/jul/13/five-doctors-on-the-health-supplements-they-swear-by
Dr. Alam is one of the five doctors interviewed for this article.
His quotes in the article:
'Zinc may be a trace element (meaning we only require tiny amounts) but zinc is essential for a healthy immune system and blood sugar balance.
Dr Zalan Alam, a GP specializing in improving quality of life in old age, says he takes 5mg daily in colder months to ward off winter bugs.'
“I take lion’s mane [derived from a type of mushroom] to improve brain fog and concentration without the spikes and dips I get from caffeine. I use it in adaptogenic coffee form rather than a straight supplement and I get the same levels of energy as from coffee but with fewer crashes.”
Cass Phelps, a trainer of somatic healers with his own minerals line suggests:
Host Defense - straight lions mane or brain capsules blend
For best results take with a flush free niacin
