My Morning Supplement Stack

Disclaimer: Not Medical Advice. Opinions are my own.

In partnership with SuppCo

Today's newsletter is focused on my morning supplement stack.

I want to be painfully clear: supplements should be utilized as supplemental to your lifestyle, not a substitute.

No supplement on the market will replace exercising, fueling properly, and high-quality sleep.

Also, just because my supplement stack works for me doesn't mean these supplements are for you.

I strongly encourage you to get a mineral/vitamin panel to determine your deficiencies.

You should always attempt to get your nutrition and minerals from your diet; when you fall short, that's where supplements come into play.

​

Supplement Non-Negotiables

Many supplement brands and products are available to choose from, but they are not equal.

Here are some of my non-negotiables when purchasing supplements:

• Third-party testing: The label indicates what's actually in the supplement. Look for Certifications like NSF Certified for Sport, USP Verified, or Informed-Choice.

​

• High-Quality Manufacturing Standards: Ensure that the manufacturing is certified by Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

​

• High-Quality Products: Avoid GMO ingredients, artificial flavors, colors, or fillers. Look for organic and clean ingredients.

​

• Science-Backed Formulations: Find brands that cite or publish quality data supporting their supplements.

​

My Morning Stack

Utilizing the approach above, find brands that check most or all of the boxes. Don't compromise on quality. If you want to see my current morning supplement stack, click here.

Another point worth mentioning is that my daily supplement routine isn't rigid. I would also encourage you to stay dynamic based on biomarkers and goals.

A few high-quality supplement brands I trust is Momentous (Note: Momentous is a newsletter sponsor).

Also, Momentous has a solid TrustScore on SuppCo.

Omega-3

Omega-3 Fatty Acids are essential fatty acids, meaning the body cannot produce them and must obtain them from diet or supplements.

Omega-3, particularly EPA and DHA, are known to benefit cardiovascular health, have anti-inflammatory properties, and protect against neurological disease.

​

CoQ10

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally occurring compound that plays a crucial role in cellular energy production. It acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage and supporting heart health. CoQ10 levels decline with age, making supplementation beneficial for maintaining energy levels and cardiovascular function.

​

Vitamin D + K2

Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and maintaining healthy bones, while Vitamin K2 ensures calcium is directed to the bones and away from soft tissues like arteries. Together, these vitamins work synergistically to promote bone health, support immune function, and reduce the risk of arterial calcification.

​

Creatine

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound stored in muscle cells, providing a rapid energy source during high-intensity exercise. Supplementing with creatine enhances strength, performance, and muscle recovery. It also supports brain function and may have neuroprotective properties.

​

Magnesium

Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It supports muscle and nerve function, helps maintain a steady heartbeat, and promotes bone health. Adequate magnesium levels also contribute to better sleep quality and reduced muscle cramps or fatigue.

​

Multivitamin

Multivitamins are designed to help fill the gap in essential vitamins and minerals that may be lacking in your daily diet. It can promote overall health by boosting energy levels, strengthening the immune system, and promoting healthy skin, hair, and nails.

Building Your Stack

A supplement stack should be tailored and personalized to each person.

I strongly encourage you to build and review your supplement stack with your qualified healthcare professional.

Start with simple blood work to determine what metrics you are deficient in. Alter your diet based on what needs improvement. Finally, explore supplementation if required.

Use tools like SuppCo to find high-quality, trusted brands with high manufacturing standards. This will help you build the best stack for yourself.

Supplements are the cherry on top, but your primary focus should be getting the big pillars right: clean nutrition, exercise, and a sleep regimen.

Only the best,
