Vitamin Supplement Chart – Downloadable Cheat Sheet
A Handy Dietary Supplement Chart / Vitamins and Supplements Cheat Sheet to Keep Track of Your Supplements and Their Functions
I realize that, just from these articles by Craig and I that you are constantly having different supplements and healthcare aids thrown your way. It must get confusing. I know it does for me. So I decided to make a sort of dietary supplement chart to use as a reference. Maybe put it on your fridge or inside a cupboard door, or wherever it will be handy. So I will lay it out for you, and we will link you to a printable PDF of the actual vitamins and supplements cheat sheet, if you will.
This dietary supplement chart will consist of four categories, breaking it down into vitamin supplements for heart health; vitamin supplements for gut health; vitamin supplements for colds, flu and other viruses; supplements for brain health and memory; and other supplemental health aids.
Vitamin Supplements For Heart Health:
CoEnzyme Q10 – aids conversion of food into energy. Commonly used for hypertension, preventing heart attacks. Vital for statin users.
L-arginine and L-citrulline – amino acids that convert to nitric oxide which widens blood vessels, relaxes and opens arteries, and promotes healthier blood vessels in general.
Beetroot – also converts to nitric oxide for the same blood vessel care. Add powder or crystals to water, smoothies, or liquid of your choice. Also contains magnesium, 
potassium, and other nutrients.
Garlic – anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant.
Omega-3 – lowers blood pressure.
Ginger – acts as a natural calcium channel blocker and dilates blood vessels.

Vitamin Supplements For Gut Health:
L-glutamine – amino acid which helps improve digestive health by decreasing intestinal permeability and reducing inflammation.
Vitamin D – maintains the integrity of the gut lining.

Probiotics – these foods or supplements (without added sugar) help to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria.
Mint – Flavoring meals with peppermint or menthol or sipping mint tea relaxes the GI muscles,
relieving spasms and bloating.
Fiber – as an addition to fiber in foods supplements help to normalize bowel function. As well it
binds to cholesterol and removes it from the body as waste.

Glutamine – aids in gastrointestinal health such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Berberine – used to treat gastrointestinal issues.

I hope this chart will come in handy for you for future reference. I realize that there are numerous additional supplements used in our quest for a healthy mind and body, so if you utilize this chart and can think of other additions let me know in the comments. When I get enough for another page I will submit it in another article.

I’m glad you are also getting the truth out there!
Thanks for coming by and commenting.
Blessings!
I like the site because I write about a similar topic. My site is about immunity in children, where I also give advice on improving children’s health and immunity in a natural way and natural preparations. All these vitamins are needed by the body, some we take in through food and some through supplementation.
Hey, that is a good suggestion! Thanks.
I also appreciate the thoughtful response. All the best to you, my friend.
Having a dietary supplement chart to use as a reference,; is a great idea. You are right in suggesting that it can be over-whealming at times. By breaking it down into four categories; you help people to be able to see a simplified chart. Doesn’t your chart consist of 4 categories? Vitamin Supplements For Heart Health, Vitamin Supplements for gut health with virus control, supplements For Brain Health and Memory, and Other Supplemental Health Aids: I think that you should seperate virus control into another category.
Thank you, my friend! And Larke thanks you, as well. 🙂
This is a very helpful chart on vitamins and supplements and how they can best help your body. One hears so many things about the vitamins that you need to help maintain a healthy body, but it doesn’t always tell you which ones are best for which conditions. So it is particularly useful that the chart has been broken down into whether it is for your heart, gut, brain, etc.
Having the chart in a printable PDF makes it easy to have a daily referral to the vitamins and supplements that we need for overall wellbeing and specific health conditions. Thanks for sharing a great resource.
