None of the above. But the anti-oxidant regimen is clearly excellent for general health. Anything else you think works along those lines is what I’m after.
For example, I’m on Vitamin D, one of the only proven anti-cancer compounds known. My blood serum level is in the 60s, which is optimal.
I take a multivitamin as insurance.
Blueberries and dark chocolate for dessert.
Protein over carbs.
Exercise like a demon.

Vitamin D has been studied for its potential role in cancer prevention and mortality reduction, and while the evidence is still evolving, there are several cancers where it appears to play a beneficial role:
Colorectal Cancer: Numerous studies suggest that higher vitamin D levels are associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer. Some evidence also points to vitamin D’s ability to lower mortality in those with the disease.
Breast Cancer: Observational studies have indicated that higher levels of vitamin D are linked to a reduced risk of breast cancer, particularly postmenopausal breast cancer. There is also some evidence suggesting that adequate vitamin D may improve survival outcomes for those diagnosed with breast cancer.
Prostate Cancer: Research has shown a potential protective effect of vitamin D against prostate cancer, particularly in reducing the risk of aggressive forms of the disease. However, the evidence is mixed regarding vitamin D’s impact on prostate cancer mortality.
Lung Cancer: While the evidence is less robust than for other cancers, some studies suggest that adequate vitamin D levels may be associated with a reduced risk of lung cancer and potentially better outcomes in those with the disease.
Ovarian Cancer: Some studies suggest that higher vitamin D levels may reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, although the findings are not as conclusive as for other cancers.
Esophageal Cancer: There is emerging evidence suggesting that adequate vitamin D levels may be linked to a reduced risk of esophageal cancer, particularly in people with certain genetic predispositions.
Endometrial Cancer: Some research points to a protective role of vitamin D in reducing the risk of endometrial cancer.
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: Some studies have found that higher levels of vitamin D may be associated with a reduced risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Mechanisms:
Vitamin D may help regulate cell growth, apoptosis (programmed cell death), and immune function, which are all important for preventing cancer. It also may modulate the activity of certain genes involved in cancer development and progression.
Caution:
While the evidence for vitamin D’s potential role in cancer prevention is promising, it’s important to note that more rigorous clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits. Moreover, vitamin D supplementation should be approached carefully, as excessive intake can lead to toxicity, particularly with high doses.
In summary, vitamin D shows promise in reducing the risk of certain cancers like colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer, and may also improve survival outcomes, but more research is required to establish definitive guidelines.

I make sure I get in over 50 separate items a day. There are reasons for each of them, and I have customized them for my wife and others, but it would take a long time to detail them. I will say I have posted threads on at least 3/4 of them, here, over the years.
Urolithin A, small amounts of nicotinamide riboside, soluble fiber 40+ grams a day, taurine, manganese, reduced copper/increased zinc, probiotics, GLA, Endocalyx Pro, carnosine, bilberry, pycnogenol, milk thistle, citicholine, ergothioneine (or daily mushrooms), citrus bergamot, ubiquinol, tocotrienols, lycopene, boron, and more make up what I take each day. Collagen peptides and glycine I also take.
There’s some more, with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but these are what come to mind, right now.
