Vitamin D3 + K2
Thorne Research · via iHerb
The foundational pairing. D3 at 5,000 IU drives immune function, testosterone production, and mood. K2 (MK-7) routes calcium to bones instead of arteries.
Deficiency is near-universal in desk workers. Stack with magnesium for full effect.
Dose: 5,000 IU D3 / 100mcg K2 — with fatty meal

Magnesium Glycinate
Doctor's Best · via iHerb
Cofactor for 300+ enzymatic reactions. Glycinate form crosses the blood-brain barrier better than oxide — improves sleep onset, reduces cortisol, prevents muscle cramps.
Most people are deficient. This form won't cause GI distress like cheaper oxide forms.
Dose: 400mg elemental magnesium — before bed

Omega-3 (High-EPA)
Nordic Naturals · via iHerb
2g+ EPA/DHA daily: anti-inflammatory baseline, cardiovascular protection, mood stability, cognitive clarity. Choose triglyceride form for best absorption.
Diet omega-6:omega-3 ratio is typically 15:1. We target 4:1 or better.
Dose: 2–4g combined EPA+DHA — with meals
Foundation
Zinc + Copper
Thorne Research · via iHerb
Zinc supports testosterone synthesis, immune response, and wound healing. Always pair with copper (1mg per 15mg zinc) to prevent deficiency from long-term zinc use.
Sweating depletes zinc. Athletes and anyone under stress are commonly deficient.
Dose: 15–30mg zinc / 1–2mg copper — with food
Performance
Creatine Monohydrate
Creapure® (Bulk form) · via iHerb
The most studied supplement in existence. Drives ATP recycling for strength, power output, and crucially — cognitive performance and memory under stress.
5g daily. No loading required. Works whether or not you lift. Cognitive benefits alone justify it.
Dose: 5g daily — any time, mix with anything
Performance
Ashwagandha (KSM-66)
Jarrow Formulas · via iHerb
Clinically validated adaptogen at 600mg KSM-66. Reduces cortisol 14–32% in RCTs, increases testosterone, improves VO2max, and accelerates recovery from strength training.
KSM-66 is the extract standard with the clinical evidence. Don't buy generic ashwagandha powder.
Dose: 600mg KSM-66 — with meals, cycle 8 weeks on / 2 off
Performance
Rhodiola Rosea
NOW Foods · via iHerb
Adaptogen for mental stamina and stress tolerance. Reduces perceived effort during cognitively demanding work. Used by high-altitude military units and endurance athletes.
Stack with ashwagandha for a comprehensive cortisol management protocol.
Dose: 400–600mg — morning, before demanding work
Performance
Lion's Mane Mushroom
Host Defense · via iHerb
Full-spectrum fruiting body
NGF (nerve growth factor) stimulation drives neuroplasticity, focus, and long-term cognitive health. Genuine neuroprotective effects — not a stimulant, a builder.
Effects build over 4–8 weeks. Buy fruiting body extract, not mycelium-on-grain.
Dose: 1–2g daily — morning with coffee
Sleep & Recovery
Magnesium L-Threonate
Magtein® (Life Extension) · via iHerb
The only magnesium form shown to significantly cross the blood-brain barrier in studies. Improves sleep quality, reduces anxiety, and shows promise for long-term cognitive maintenance.
Premium form. Worth the cost if sleep quality is a priority over basic magnesium repletion.
Dose: 2g Magtein® (144mg elemental Mg) — 1–2h before sleep
Sleep & Recovery
Apigenin
Pure Encapsulations · via iHerb
Chamomile-derived flavonoid that binds GABA-A receptors without dependency risk. Reduces time to sleep onset and improves sleep depth — zero grogginess the next morning.
Used in Huberman's sleep stack. Non-habit-forming unlike melatonin or pharma options.
Dose: 50mg — 30–60 min before sleep
Sleep & Recovery
L-Theanine
NOW Foods · via iHerb
Alpha-wave promoter. 200mg at bedtime reduces sleep latency, improves sleep quality, and eliminates "wired but tired" states. Also stacks with caffeine for focused, calm productivity.
Dual-use: 100–200mg with coffee for work, 200mg alone before sleep. Cheap and effective.
Dose: 200mg — pre-sleep or with caffeine (1:2 ratio)
