Vitamin D3 + K2
Brand TBD
Most men who train indoors are low. Supports bone density, immune function, and normal testosterone production. K2 belongs in the same capsule, because it directs calcium where it should go.
Straight talk
Get a blood panel first. Dose to your labs, not to a bottle.

Creatine Monohydrate
Brand TBD
- Form
- Unflavored micronized powder
- Dose
- 5 g daily. Timing doesn't matter, consistency does
The most-studied sports supplement there is. Supports strength output, training volume, and cellular hydration. Cheap, boring, and it works.
Skip the loading phase. Skip anything labeled HCl at four times the price.
Magnesium Glycinate
Brand TBD
- Form
- Capsule, 200–400 mg elemental
- Dose
- 200–400 mg, 60–90 minutes before bed
Involved in hundreds of enzymatic processes, including muscle relaxation and sleep quality. Glycinate is the form that absorbs without sending you to the bathroom.
Oxide is the cheap form. It is a laxative, not a supplement.
Omega-3 (EPA/DHA)
Brand TBD
- Form
- Triglyceride form fish oil, third party tested for oxidation
- Dose
- 2–3 g combined EPA + DHA daily, with food
Supports cardiovascular health, joint comfort, and brain function. The Western plate runs heavy on omega 6 and light on this.
Check the actual EPA/DHA on the back panel, not the '1,000 mg fish oil' on the front.
