In this article: What it is · How it works · Common myths · Practical tips · When to be careful
Key takeaways
- A small, well-evidenced basic stack beats a large, hyped list.
- Vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3 form a solid base for many people.
- Get your blood levels tested before supplementing.
- More or more expensive isn't automatically better.
- Consult a doctor if you take medication, are pregnant, or have underlying conditions.
