IMPORTANT: It is ESSENTIAL to talk to your doctor before taking any supplements that you have not taken before, or begin taking them at a larger dose. This regimen is NOT appropriate for children so they should speak to their doctor before taking any of these.
Nicotinic acid / Niacin also has several strong contraindications, they can be seen here:

I have to be clear and say that I am not a doctor, nor am I personally advocating you take Niacin or any other supplement or medication mentioned in this film. This is a decision you must make yourself with the consultation of your GP if you have any concerns at all.
So, all that said - here is what I am currently taking.
Niacin: I started at a low dose (10-20mg)/ be careful of flushing)
Selenium: 100mcg / day
Zinc: 15-30mg / day
Quercetin: 500mg 3x / day
Vitamin C: 500-1000mg 3x / day
Vitamin D: 3-5000iu / day
