I. Article Hook: Cutting Through the Hype (H2)
- The Problem: The supplement market is saturated with trendy powders and unproven adaptogens.
- The Promise: We analyze the protocols and research from the most trusted names (Huberman, Attia, Patrick, Hyman) to create a list of supplements with the strongest E-E-A-T (Expertise, Experience, Authority, Trust) backing.
II. The Consensus Core: Three Non-Negotiables (H2)
- A. Magnesium (The Nervous System Linchpin):
- The Experts Say: Discuss why this mineral is consistently recommended (over 300 enzyme reactions, neurological function).
- The Science: Focus on two specific, high-bioavailability forms: Magnesium Threonate (for crossing the blood-brain barrier and cognition) and Magnesium Glycinate (for sleep and relaxation).

- B. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (The Cellular Firewall):
- The Experts Say: Attia and Patrick emphasize achieving a high Omega-3 Index for cardiovascular and brain health.
- The Science: Focus on the importance of EPA and DHA ratios and the dosage required to see clinical benefits (which is often higher than label recommendations).
- C. Vitamin D3 (The Hormone):
- The Experts Say: A supplement often recommended due to high prevalence of deficiency, especially in northern latitudes.
- The Science: Discuss its role in immune function, bone health, and mood. Emphasize the necessity of getting a blood test to determine the correct dosage.
III. The Advanced Tier: Optimization & Performance (H2)
- Creatine Monohydrate: Detail its universal recommendation for cognitive and physical performance (not just muscle building).
- Berberine/Metformin (The Glucose Regulators): Discuss the expert perspective on these molecules for glucose disposal, but add the critical disclaimer regarding medical supervision (especially for Metformin).
IV. What to Skip (The Overrated List) (H2)
- Briefly critique common, expensive supplements that lack strong consensus research (e.g., excessive amounts of generic multivitamins, certain ‘green powders,’ or unproven exotic root extracts).
