SUPPLEMENTS
"Supplements can feel confusing with so many products, fads, and promises competing for attention. This section is here to explain what each supplement does, and show you where it’s found naturally in food and when it may be helpful to add in supplement form. My goal is to give you clear, practical guidance so you can make informed choices — without the hype."
VITAMINS
Vitamins are vital nutrients we can’t function without, supporting everything from energy to immunity and overall health.

LONGEVITY
These compounds are making headlines in the anti-aging world, but what does the science really say?
DETOX
Leafy greens, along with cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and broccoli sprouts, provide powerful compounds that fuel the body’s natural detox pathways. To further boost or target detox support, nutrients like sulforaphane, glutathione, NAC, and glycine can enhance the body’s ability to neutralize and clear toxins.

COLLAGEN & JOINT HEALTH
Collagen and joint health supplements help maintain cartilage, ligaments, and connective tissue. By supporting mobility and easing stiffness, they protect your joints from everyday wear and keep you moving with strength and flexibility.
GLUCOSE CONTROL
Berberine consistently shows the strongest results for lowering blood sugar and improving insulin sensitivity. R-ALA and Myo-Inositol also have promising human studies supporting their use.

AMINO ACIDS & PROTEINS
Proteins and amino acids are the building blocks of muscle, energy, and recovery. While ads often overhype products like BCAAs, the most effective supports are protein powders, EAAs, and creatine. These provide real benefits for strength, endurance, and overall performance, while many other amino acid supplements are situational or unnecessary.
PROBIOTICS & GUT HEALTH
A healthy gut supports digestion, immunity, and even mood. Gut supplements work in three main ways:
-
Balancing microbes with probiotics (adding good bacteria) and prebiotics (feeding them — like FOS, GOS, and resistant starch).
-
Aiding digestion with enzymes that break down food.
-
Repairing and soothing the gut lining with nutrients like L-glutamine and herbs like slippery elm.

CARDIOVASCULAR
Heart health relies on strong blood vessels, healthy blood pressure, and steady energy in heart cells. Alongside nutrition and lifestyle, supplements like Omega-3s, magnesium, CoQ10, and nitric oxide boosters (beetroot + citrulline) are the most proven for supporting circulation and long-term cardiovascular health.

FERTILITY
Fertility depends on healthy eggs, healthy sperm, and balanced hormones. While no supplement replaces good nutrition and lifestyle, some have strong evidence for supporting egg quality, sperm health, and reproductive outcomes. A few are foundational essentials for preconception, while others offer targeted support for issues like PCOS, estrogen imbalance, or low sperm motility.
Targeted Hormone & Metabolic Support
Women: Core Fertility Support
Men: Fertility Essentials
MENTAL HEALTH
Mental health is shaped by stress, sleep, nutrition, and brain chemistry. While no supplement replaces therapy, lifestyle, or medical care, certain nutrients and herbs like ashwagandha, L-theanine, magnesium, and St. John’s Wort can help support calm, balance, and resilience.

WEIGHT LOSS
Supplements can play a small supporting role in weight loss, but results are usually modest. Lasting success still comes from balanced nutrition, daily movement, and healthy habits.
HERBS & BOTANICALS
Herbal remedies can offer supportive benefits when used wisely. The research base is growing, but often smaller than pharmaceutical trials because herbs cannot be patented in the same way. This means many remedies may be under-studied, not necessarily ineffective. If you choose to use herbs, it’s best to do so with awareness — and ideally alongside professional guidance.

MUSHROOMS
Medicinal mushrooms like Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, and Turkey Tail have been studied for their unique compounds that support brain health, immunity, energy, and stress resilience. Unlike culinary mushrooms, many of these are consumed as teas, extracts, or powders to reach effective levels.
