Health Supplements you should be taking

Hello once again! Here is a list of supplements you should likely be taking. Note that this is not medical advice, and some supplements are tolerated better by some people than others due to health / genetic factors. Generally, taking excessive amounts of supplements do not increase benefits, so stick to reasonable dosages. There is some variation between male and female in terms of requirements, I'm more familiar with male physiology and supplementing. There are some supplements I will mention that are not OTC, or are special prescription, which I may or may not take myself, and are not freely available. These supplement types are generally more expensive and less accessible, but I will discuss them also. Ideally you would start supplementing in your mid to late 20's. Most people only discover vitamins/supplements later in life when they begin to feel run-down, and by that point a lot of 'damage' has already been done to your body, which is accelerated with life

Source for high-quality Japanese Rubycon capacitors.


Carefully dissassembled a Pioneer DVD player. Model DV-3022V. I wasn't expecting much but
wanted to scope out the components and assembly method.



The engineering on this thing is to the point, simple and superb for duty with 3 main separate modules. What blew me away was what I found on the power module. Some of the best quality electrolytic caps you can buy, that cost quite a bit from places like RS. Japanese-made Rubycon capacitors, which are highly reliable and not subject to capacitor plague issues.

In total there are 6 small to medium black electrolytic caps of various values on the power module. This is a working DVD unit with no remote. These are a great source of quality caps and people are just tossing them out these days, so they can be sourced for free in many cases.





In addition, many DVD units would spend most of their life switched off or on stand-by so the caps have very likely had a pretty easy life with low power-cycles.

The other caps on the main-board there are called Aishi, or similar. They are probably of reasonable quality, but are no Rubycon, or Nichicon (another good Japanese brand). Pioneer.. take a bow, I never expected to find high quality components in what we would consider a cheap consumer device.
