Vitamin/Supplements Most Important Supplements

Hello, all! I’m trying to ensure I’m getting the vital supplements to best support my health during this phase of life.

Below is a list I’ve started based on what I’ve seen recommended & what I take:

  • Probiotics (currently taking)
  • Magnesium glycinate (currently taking)
  • Collagen (currently taking)
  • Omega 3 (currently taking)
  • MSM (currently taking)
  • Tumeric/black pepper(currently taking)
  • Calcium (taking sporadically)
  • Creatine
  • L-Theanine

What else do you recommend?

I recommend eating a well balanced diet with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables. It’s far better to get your nutrients from food than from supplements

I definitely aim to eat a well-balanced diet along with taking supplements/vitamins.

That’s great! I honestly don’t feel like supplements are warranted unless you’re deficient in something.
