Supplements should be simple. Look for short “other ingredients” and forms your body can use.

What to avoid (and why)

  • Artificial colours & titanium dioxide: For looks, not function.
  • Sugar-heavy gummies: Tasty, but often more candy than nutrient.
  • Proprietary blends without amounts: you can’t compare doses.

Better forms (general)

  • Magnesium glycinate (gentle on the gut).
  • Methyl B12 (methylcobalamin) and methylfolate (active forms).
  • Vitamin D3 (often with K2) for absorption and balance.

Quick Picks

Tips

  • Capsules usually need fewer binders than tablets.
  • Check serving size vs. dose (some labels are per 2–3 capsules).
  • If you take meds or are pregnant/breastfeeding, talk to your clinician first.
