Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports muscle function, sleep quality, and stress management. Most adults benefit from 200-400mg daily, with magnesium glycinate being the best-absorbed form for general use.
Vitamin D3
Fat-Soluble VitaminVitamin D3 is essential for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. An estimated 42% of U.S. adults are deficient. Most adults benefit from 1,000-4,000 IU daily, and a 2017 meta-analysis found supplementation reduced the risk of acute respiratory infections by 12%.
Omega-3
Essential Fatty AcidOmega-3 fatty acids (EPA + DHA) reduce inflammation, support heart and brain health, and may improve mood. The REDUCE-IT trial showed high-dose EPA (4g/day) reduced cardiovascular events by 25%. Most adults benefit from 1,000-2,000mg combined EPA+DHA daily.
Probiotics
Live MicroorganismsProbiotics are live beneficial bacteria that support gut health, immunity, and mood through the gut-brain axis. A 2018 meta-analysis found significant IBS symptom reduction with multi-strain probiotics. Benefits are strain-specific — choose based on your health goal. Typical dose: 10-50 billion CFU daily. Look for third-party tested products with verified potency through the expiration date.
Ashwagandha
Adaptogenic HerbYes, ashwagandha is one of the most clinically studied adaptogens, with over 22 published clinical trials backing its benefits. A 2019 meta-analysis found it reduced stress scores by 44% and cortisol by 23% compared to placebo. The recommended dose is 300-600mg of root extract (KSM-66, standardized to withanolides) daily.
Melatonin
NeurohormoneMelatonin is the most well-studied natural sleep supplement, shown in a meta-analysis of 19 RCTs to reduce sleep onset latency by 7-12 minutes and improve sleep quality. Importantly, more is NOT better — doses as low as 0.5mg can be as effective as 5mg for sleep onset. It is also the best-evidenced supplement for jet lag.
