Dr Brad sells one product, a low dose multivitamin, which there is a need for. I do not see this creating bias. He always says, “do not take something, just because I do.”

Personally I like Dr. Stanfield’s “microvitamin” quite a bit. There’s definitely a need for it.

I agree. I have not been able to find a multi-vitamin with reasonable dosages, and trying to take everything individually is a bit much.

Oh come on. He created a supplement with all the things he personally takes. It’s ridiculous and unfair to act like he’s some sort of snake oil salesman.

Naturelo (Men’s 50+ version) is a pretty good one that I’ll occasionally use if I have to travel and probably won’t meet the RDA’s from my diet. Pretty inexpensive and not overdosed.

Thanks. I will take a look at it.

It’s not listed in his supplements: The Supplements Dr. Brad Takes – Dr Brad Stanfield

As soon as someone starts a line of products they go from independent advisor to seller/marketer. It’s just human nature.

It’s about 500 mg taurine in his multivitamin supplement (elemental magnesium is higher).

Bias or no bias, it does not matter, only the studies and the methodology of them.

Thanks a lot.

So he takes magnesium taurate (but calls it “magneZium taurINate”):

This source says: https://www.forbes.com/health/supplements/magnesium-taurate/

“In theory, taking magnesium taurate is the same as taking magnesium and taurine separately,” says Adam Stein M.D., a gastroenterologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.

I don’t know how he misspelled that in the video, but yes it’s magnesium taurinate or taurate.

Either he has dysgraphia/dyslexia, or he outsources video editing to a cheap contractor.

I’ve ordered his MicroVitamin before so I’m in his discord server. In there. He says there is 1400mg taurine in MicroVitamin from magnesium tartare.

That’s not what his video and what the packaging say :thinking:

Yea he said he made a mistake in the video on the discord server and that’s its 1400mg and not 500mg. He said this a couple months ago and again two days ago when someone asked.

Thanks. He’s then extremely unprofessional not to take down the video. (At least I think you can add in video notes to show mistakes.)

He makes one known mistake and he is “extremely unprofessional”?

11 months that he keeps repeating every day to thousands of people via this video something that he knows is wrong. He’s a doctor and this is important information about a product he sells and promotes. So as soon as he realized that he said that his product contained x instead of 3x of a compound he should have corrected his mistake. In the case of YouTube it’s extremely easy: he could replace the video totally, trim the excerpt with the incorrect dose, or add an errata card (see: Replace or delete your video - Computer - YouTube Help ). He chose to do none of these and only to mention the mistake on his Discord. He didn’t even bother to edit the comment below the video (that still days 500 mg taurine). This is the definition of an unprofessional behavior. (Not to mention that incorrect description of the content of a supplement can be illegal in some jurisdictions.)

I’ve just emailed him to ask him to correct the video. We’ll see if he’s professional or not :slight_smile:

I think you are right that as a minimum he should correct the comment on the video page.

Well, carry on with your crusade. Alert the authorities if it makes you happy. It is obvious that you take some issue with him. Given the amount of information he provides, I am not going to get excited about 900mcg of taurine or be bothered by his pronunciation of magnesium taurinate.
