Brain Power
Best for staying sharp and getting deep sleep.
Don't get the cheap stuff that upsets your stomach. This version is a lifesaver for sleep. Take it 30 minutes before bed and actually waking up feeling rested, not groggy.
Magnesium Glycinate: Benefits, Side Effects, Uses, and More
I prefer the sublingual (under-the-tongue) version. It bypasses the gut and goes straight to your blood. It’s a "natural battery" for those 3:00 PM slumps.

If it smells super fishy, it’s probably old! Use a high-quality lemon-flavored one. It’s basically "brain food" and helps focus when staring at a screen for hours.

You should add a few drops to your water. It’s way better than the sugary gummies and you will notice your nails getting stronger after about a month.
Biotin (Liquid form) – Natures Bounty
DON'T buy the pill for this. Just drink a glass of fresh coconut water. It’s the best way to get natural electrolytes and stop those annoying leg cramps.

Stress & Balance
Best for chilling out and keeping hormones happy.
Most people take "carbonate" which can cause bloating. switch to citrate because it absorbs way better. It’s a go-to for keeping the bones strong since we're on our feet all day.
Calcium Citrate Tablets
If you use sea salt instead of table salt, you might be missing this! Use a liquid kelp drop once a day. It keeps your metabolism from feeling sluggish.
