| Posted 2/19/2008 2:04 AM (GMT -4) | | I take the following...
Vegan one multiple without Iron, I like this because the dosage seems reasonable, not to small, not too large. I also prefer gelatin free capsules.
http://www.nutraceutical.com/search/view_product.cfm?product_index=2406174
Kyolic garlic supplement 1 600 MG tablet per day (1200 MG would probably be a better regimen as the R & D department of koylic told me most of the studies were for 1200 MG). They also make a product called kyo-green that looks good.
http://www.kyolic.com/
I drink at last one 8 to 12 ounce glass of low sodium V-8 juice per day, it gives you 2 servings of vegetables per every 8 oz., and the low sodium version has extra potassium. It also has about 17 mg of lycopene per 8 oz.
http://www.v8juice.com/
I take one tablespoon of organic flaxseed oil per day. I try to eat Salmon at least once per week, but I should eat fish 2-3 times per week instead of one.
http://www.spectrumorganics.com/
I take two tablespoons of tart cherry juice per day, mixed with juice like Northland cranberry or tropicana triple berry juice.
http://www.brownwoodacres.com/
I like drinking fresh brewed green tea from Lipton, usually 8 to 16 oz. per day.
I eat about 1 oz. of walnuts per day, they have good fats i.e., omega 3 and they are good for the vascular system.
I'm considering adding 420 MG of magnesium per day to my regimen. I'm also considering adding LEF grape seed extract and/or blueberry extract.
I like to eat organic yogurt from Stonyfield farms & I also take Tums to make sure I'm getting enough calcium.
http://www.stonyfield.com/
In general, I try to follow a balanced diet and get 4-5 servings of both fruits and vegetables per day. However, some of these servings come from fruit juice and vegetable juice. I like tropicana orange juice with added calcium and vitamin D. I avoid sodium, refined sugar, (no soda or donuts, etc..) and white breads. I use whole grain bread products whenever possible. I like eating oats & I think they are healthy. I don't smoke and only drink moderately on occasion (rare). I have not eaten beef for about 5 years, I only eat turkey, chicken, fish, pork, etc.. (I ate an ostridge burger once 
I sometimes use http://www.designerwhey.com/ .
I do 30 minutes of aerobic exercise each day on an exercise bike, and walk in the park sometimes to reduce stress. I know exercise is not part of your question, but I think it's one of the best things you can do for general physical and mental well being & possibly life extension. I also do pushups, crunches, squats, calve raises, dumbell curls, & use the hand squeeze exercisers three times per week to every other day depending on how I feel.
I do cheat a little, I love dark chocolate and I eat it even though I now it has too much fat and stains my teeth a little.
My approach is reasonable exercise, reasonable diet, and reasonable supplementation. Also, handling stress as best a possible really helps. Just being generally happy & not worrying too much goes a long way towards good health & vitality.
I think genetics are the key to significant life extension, but until it gets figured out or even if it never is, why not follow a reasonable diet, exercise, and supplement plan ? Even if it doesn't extend your lifespan to a great or really significant degree, it will probably add a few good years & at the very least will help you get the most of the time you have.

I don't take the multi every day though since recent studies have shown that exercise and antioxidant intake is not beneficial, you either do one or the other.

Here is my quite extensive supplement regimen. I have issues with extremely high cholesterol, low testosterone, very high triglycerides, and I'm over 50, so concerned about high plaque buildup that probably occurred due to the fact I never dealt with my cholesterol problem until now. Thus I'm taking some plaque reduction supplements as well as drinking 6 ounces of pomegranate juice in the mornings, and basically following the routine outlined in the book "Reverse Heart Disease Now" by Sinatra/Roberts. So besides general overall health, my supplements address possible cardiovascular disease reversal, high cholesterol, plaque buildup, and low testosterone. Here it is:
codes: 3 X 3 means 3 tabs 3 times per day
1 X 3 means one 3 times per day
S means before shower with pomegranate juice
Life Extension Mix Tabs, 3 X 3
CoQ10 100mg 1 X 3
Vitamin C 500 mg 1 X 3
DHEA 50mg 1 S
Endothelial Defense 2 S
ALC & Acetyl L-Carnitine 2 S
GPLC Glycocarn 2 MA
L-Arginine 2 S and 2 MA
D-Ribose 3 at S and MA
Magnesium 1 at breakfast
Mega Silymarin 1 with breakfast
Natural Prostate 1 at breakfast
Super Omega-3 EPA/DHA with Sesame Lignans 2 X 1 X 2
Mega Green Tea Extract 1 X 2
Integra-Lean™ Irvingia 1 X 2
Kyolic Reserve 1 X 2
Red Yeast Rice 600 mg 2 X 2
