What works\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>

(aka you don’t really need 100 daily supplements)<\/span><\/h2>

Supplement Principles<\/span><\/h3>

These are in theory all optional, as the ideal diet should be adequate.\u00a0 The reality is that some elements can be challenging to achieve with diet alone.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

To make your life easier, buy some pill containers (I personally have 3 allowing me to prepare 3 weeks at a time \u2013 this is the style I recommend [LINK]).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Core Supplement Stack<\/span><\/h2>

Supplements to take where the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly positive.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Protein [LINK]<\/p>

Creatine [LINK]<\/p>

Fish Oil [LINK]<\/p>

Optional Supplements<\/h2>

Take these if you are deficient or at risk of being deficient (eg Vit D, let your blood tests guide you), or feel that the effects would help you (eg Magnesium for sleep)<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Vit D3 [LINK]<\/p>

Vitamin B9: 400 mcg<\/p>

Vitamin B12: 500 mcg<\/p>

Vitamin B6 (3x per week): 50 mg<\/p>

Mg<\/p>

Calcium<\/p>

Zinc<\/p>

Vitamin C<\/p>

Folate<\/p>

Additional Nutrition Sources<\/h2>

Olive Oil.\u00a0 In particular, EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be weird and force yourself to drink it out of a wine glass.\u00a0 Instead, use liberally in cooking (leave a bottle right on the counter where you cook).\u00a0 And buy a nice set of bottles to put on your dining table \u2013 one for Vinegar [LINK], and one for Olive Oil [LINK].\u00a0 That way you don\u2019t have to think too hard to add some extra to your salads as you eat.<\/p>

Fiber.\u00a0 In particular Psyllium Fiber Husk. Xxxxx [LINK]<\/p>

Snake Oil Warning<\/h2>

Supplements with little to no evidence.\u00a0 If you are confident you are doing absolutely everything else right, then maybe consider these.\u00a0 Otherwise just skip.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

NAD. Very little supporting evidence for humans<\/p>

Resveratrol. No evidence in humans.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Glucosamine, Chondroitin. No better than placebo<\/p>

Ashwagandha. No better than placebo<\/p>

Notes for Adrian:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Emphasize the importance of blood tests to know what you actually need. Like some people need B12 injections and not just tablets. Introduce things one at a time so you know what actually helps you. Magnesium may be awesome or may do nothing and be a waste of money for you.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Also, should people buy combo pills or each supplement individually. As a short note, maybe mention what age this starts to matter, or if kids also need them as parents can start setting them on the right path.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Do women need collagen? Are there any sex-specific supplements to point out?<\/p>
