Supplements have emerged as a significant part of health and wellness, as well as medical communities, over the last 20 years. They are non-prescription compounds designed to augment nutrition, and they can be a powerful tool within a larger system aimed at customizing tools for our mental and physical health, and performance.
There are foundational supplements that provide insurance along with your nutritional intake to ensure that you're getting all the things that you need for a basic level of mental health, physical health, and optimal performance. These include vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, probiotics, prebiotics, and adaptogens.
However, when exploring supplementation for specific areas like sleep, hormone health, or Lcarnitine function, single ingredient formulations are recommended. They give you the most power and control, allowing you to find the minimal effective doses and rule out things that are not effective or may be detrimental for you.
Remember, supplements are potent, non-prescription molecules that can significantly impact your ability to think more clearly, sleep better, and support your hormone function. But they are just one element within an ecosystem of other factors, such as your behaviors, nutrition, and possibly prescription drugs. Always consult a trusted board-certified physician before adding or subtracting any supplementation based protocols.
