Since I like making big ol' lists, I thought I'd create a thread for supplement ratios/interactions that people should watch out for. Here's some that I know of:
Interactions that Peat has specifically mentioned:
If you are taking Vitamin A:
If you are taking aspirin:
Interactions where Peat's opinion is unknown:
If you are taking aspirin:
If you are taking high-dose Vitamin E:
If you are taking d-alpha-tocopherol Vitamin E without other tocopherols:
Anyone have other comments/contributions?
Interactions that Peat has specifically mentioned:
If you are taking Vitamin A:
- You might need additional vitamin D. There's discussion on ratios in the "Ratio of Vitamin A to Vitamin D?" topic.
If you are taking aspirin:
- You might need additional vitamin K (probably 1mg of K per 325mg of aspirin). There's discussion on the amount and form of vitamin K to take in the "Vitamin K1 vs. K2 and how much to take with aspirin?" topic.
Interactions where Peat's opinion is unknown:
If you are taking aspirin:
- Be careful when taking Acetazolamide. See the "Acetazolamide" topic for details.
If you are taking high-dose Vitamin E:
- Gabriel suspects that high-dose Vitamin E may require more vitamin K, see the "High dose Vitamin E supplements antagonize Vitamin K" topic.
If you are taking d-alpha-tocopherol Vitamin E without other tocopherols:
- Peat has mentioned in passing, "I think mixed tocopherols are better than just d-alpha...".
- On the specifics of what d-alpha-tocopherol might do on it's own, there's some conflicting evidence about whether it's a concern. See the topic "Alpha-tocopherol does NOT deplete gamma tocopherol".
Anyone have other comments/contributions?
