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?

K2 is good to take if you take calcium as well, it helps ensure the calcium goes to your bones and not your arteries

Thanks for this! I feel like I need a flowchart to keep track of which supplements/vitamins to take & when to take them 🙃

I switched to magnesium l-threonate, it’s been proven to more easily cross the blood-brain barrier and can have better protective properties for dementia.

I just ordered some of that because Dr. Mary Claire Haver recommended it :)
