Supplements
A short list with real human evidence, in the plainest form that works.
- A creatine that's just creatine Creatine monohydrate Best known for the gym, but your brain runs on it too, and the cheapest kind is the right kind.
- Magnesium that's easy on the stomach Magnesium glycinate Many diets fall short on magnesium. The glycinate form is well absorbed and gentler on the gut than oxide or citrate.
- CoQ10, if you're going to try it Coenzyme Q10 Your body makes CoQ10, and levels fall with age and on statins. The evidence for supplementing is mixed, and we say so.
