- Potential pitfalls of single nutrient supplementation long-term. Some key supplements are better together!
- Caution to consider for these common COVID related supplements.
- Turmeric, Quercetin, and 5-HTP, oh my? Powerful, effective options, but make sure you know where to exercise caution in using them.
- A good strategy with any supplement, going low’n’slow upon introduction is especially key with these common supplements.

I need to hear from the beginning, but quercetin is something I need to look at a bit more for my own unique situation. I’m really liking these short presentations to lock in and add to learning.
Oh my I have learned so much today! When it comes to inflammation, joint pain, and achiness, they need mitochondrial support with CO Q10 and that curcumin can actually impair iron absorption in the gut so it ‘s better not to use in woman with heavy periods.
I didn’t realize picnogenol was a mast cell stabilizer. B12 escorts folate to the party! 🙂
I forgot that zinc competes with copper. I did not realize quercitin affects the enzyme that metabolizes catecholamines so don’t use in high stressed individuals. I learned that Beta blockers deplete CO Q10 and melatonin, and that you need magnesium to metabolize vitamin D! WOW! I was blown away by this session!!! Thank you so much Tracy 🙂
Loved the analogy for B9(folate) and B12 partnership to explain why they are both required in methylation. Also that no vitamin or mineral works in isolation and we need to look at what the impact (e.g.) zinc (without looking at cooper). Love these sessions and looking forward to joining SAFM – It genuinely is broadening my Nutritional Therapy learning here with so many amazing insights. Thank you x
Loved learning about magnesium and Vit D, the role of the B vitamins. Have a client with autoimmune after food poisoning and ongoing gut issues taking all the correct supplements but not getting the relief and nutrient poor diet. Looking forward to the autoimmune master class next week!
Vit B6 is essential to make GABA Glutamate- which is the key for calm neurotransmitters- remedy for Anxiety which maybe causing the insomnia. Not always Melatonin can be the answer.
Thank you for an eye opening lecture! Almost other things, I learned that curcumin impairs iron absorption in the gut.
Quercitin is not the best choice for a person with a lot of stress as it also uses the COMT pathway and may cause an increase in ruminating thoughts and increase stress hormones.
Amazing how he interconnectedness of all things. Nothing’s taken in a vacuum. Appreciate the insight of certain medications/supplements potentially depleting others. Key insight.
Low WBC from excess zinc supplementation depleting copper……
So much valuable information! One clinical pearl in particular – curcumin interfering with iron absorption. So important to know as that’s a very popular supplement.
The alternate histamine calmers like stinging nettle leaf and pycnogenol, plus talking about curcumin inhibiting absorption of iron, were very helpful.
I didn’t know that turmeric can impair iron absorption so for client with heavy menstrual flow, Boswellia may be a better choice to lower inflammation when dealing with joint pain.
This was all so good. How can we choose one thing as learning practitioners? I cannot wait to start this course.
So much good information.
This was a great lecture! I learned new information about medications and nutrient depletion as well as helpful information about vitamin D3, vitamin A, zinc, and quercitin! I can’t wait to learn more!
Metformin -> B12 deficiency-> peripheral neuropathy!!! I always blamed it on the blood sugars!
I loved he explanation of the importance of replenishing magnesium before using higher doses of vitamin D. Thank you for this!
quercitin may not be the best choice for histamine issues if person has stress mediated issues like sleeping problems or have trouble calming down. quercetin affects enzyme (COMT) that metabolites estrogen and adrenaline
Love your presentations! I learn so much!
Just pages and pages of notes – I didn’t know all of that about Vitamin D and how it pulls on vitamin A and mg.
Quercetin’s potential side effect was new to me, thank you for this presentation!
