Foundational Supplement Stack
The essentials: D3+K2, Magnesium, Omega-3, and Creatine. These four address the most widespread deficiencies with the strongest evidence bases.
Vitamin D3 + K2
2,000-5,000 IU vitamin D3 daily with K2 (MK-7). Most people are deficient, and optimal levels (40-60 ng/mL) support immune function, bone health, and mood.
Magnesium (Glycinate/Threonate)
200-400mg elemental magnesium daily. Half the population is deficient in this mineral involved in 300+ enzymatic processes including sleep, muscle function, and mood.
Ashwagandha (KSM-66)
300-600mg KSM-66 ashwagandha daily. Clinical trials show reduced cortisol (~30%), improved sleep quality, and modest testosterone increases.
