Tried, Tested, and Trusted: My Supplement Staples

I get asked this all the time: “What supplements should I be taking?”

Fair question.

For the record, nothing beats blood work. A proper lab analysis can pinpoint your real deficiencies. But after running hundreds of health and performance evaluations, the same five supplements show up again and again. These are the ones I trust—and recommend—most.

Let’s get into them.

1. EnteroMend

EnteroMend helps repair and support the integrity of the GI tract lining—especially important if you’re under stress, training hard, or eating less-than-perfect food. Think of it as a recovery drink for your digestive system. Less gut permeability means lower systemic inflammation.

Dosage: 1–2 scoops, 30 minutes before breakfast.

2. Trace Minerals

Minerals are the spark of your metabolism. Every enzymatic process in your body relies on them—from energy production to hormone conversion. Under heavy training loads or chronic stress, you shift into hypermetabolism and burn through minerals faster. Replenishing them is a no-brainer.

Dosage: 1–2 capsules daily with food for better absorption.

3. CoQ10

This one’s all about cellular energy. CoQ10 improves metabolic efficiency, supports cardiovascular health, and protects against oxidative stress—especially valuable if you’re older, training intensely, or dealing with chronic fatigue.

Dosage: 1–2 capsules daily with food.

4. Stress B-Complex

My go-to for nervous system resilience. B vitamins play a key role in neurotransmitter function, adrenal support, and the overall stress response. Whether you’re deep in a training block, grinding through the workweek, or just managing daily life, this keeps your energy steady.

Dosage: 1–2 capsules daily with food.

5. Creatine

Creatine isn’t just for the bros—it’s one of the most researched supplements out there, with proven benefits for power output, brain function, and even cellular hydration. Great for strength, longevity, and cognitive health.

Dosage: 5g daily.

Parting words: supplements don’t fix poor sleep, junk food, or inconsistent training. But they can fill the gaps—especially when chosen intentionally.

These are my five. No fluff. Just what works.
