1000mg
Make sure you are taking a product with at least 500 mg combined EPA and DHA, which are essential for cardiovascular health and managing inflammation levels within the body. [2]
Vitamin D3
50mcg
Vitamin D3 supports a variety of bodily functions, including playing a role in the maintenance of normal muscle function and overall hormonal balance. [3]
Probiotics
1 serving
Probiotics contain bacteria that are beneficial for gut health, which is linked to immune function and can influence overall inflammation. Dosage varies by product (select products with at least 1 billion CFUs and multiple bacterial strains) [4]
Creatine
5g
Creatine is one of the most widely studied nutrients. It's widely known for enhancing muscular strength, power output and recovery, but has also emerged as a critical nutrient for brain health. Multiple studies have shown creatine supports cognitive function and protects against mental fatigue through improved ATP availability in neurons. [5]
Ashwagandha
300mg
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that helps the body manage stress, supports healthy testosterone levels, and promotes overall vitality. [6]
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide
250mg
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) is a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which is essential for energy metabolism and is associated with longevity and the aging process. [7]
