So tired of supplement companies claiming everything cures everything. The list of supplements with REAL evidence is pretty short: Vitamin D, Omega-3, Magnesium, Creatine, Probiotics (strain-specific).
Everything else is either poorly studied or the effect sizes are tiny. Change my mind.
Pretty solid list. I’d add ashwagandha for stress/cortisol — there are actually decent RCTs supporting it.
The creatine for brain health thing is really interesting. There’s a study showing it improved cognitive performance under sleep deprivation. As a new dad who never sleeps I’m very interested lol.
vitamin D is the most underrated one on this list. i was severely deficient and had no idea. once i started supplementing my energy levels and mood improved dramatically
