Fish oil does not have Vit A in it. (It is made from fish body oils and not the liver). It appears you have Cod Liver oil or something similar. This is not safe long term in high doses.
Therefore regular fish oil or krill is the one to take to get the high doses needed for inflammation.

You need a natural Vit E product that has all the forms of E in it, not just alpha. The gamma and other forms are useful as a group. 400IU is okay. Some E products with only Alpha are synthetic and I don't recommend those. Oils like E and fish oils are best taken with food.

Magnesium needs to be a chelate.... glycinate, citrate, gluconate, malate etc. OXIDE is not absorbed and therefore useless to get thru the intestines and into the blood to move to the rest of the body.

The acetyl carnitine starts at 500mg a day, and increase up to 1-2 grams say, weekly. Some people do well on just the 500mg a day.

A whey protein powder mixed in to a shake, is a good way to get protein that will build muscle. There are studies showing it works for lean muscle loss...to help strengthen and build them.
One serving a day should be enough to start. You can mix it into
yogurt, or whatever you want. (you can add flaxseed oil to it in this form, and that Omega 3 is helpful as well). Fruit, yogurt, some juice, and flax + whey protein make for a healthful drink.
You can make a chocolate one if you want even.
