I'm in the same boat. My instinct, research, and logic votes on the side of the supplements.

I compare my general health, barring lymphedema and arthritis, to that of others my age (62) and younger and I'm much better off health wise (arthritis and 1 knee replacement) and number of prescriptions (l take 1 hbp pill).

I also think given my accumulated knowledge at this age that if I had had the knowledge and started supplementation at a younger age I probably would be even better off then I am now.
