What supplements does Stacy sims recommend

Sources:

Stacy Sims recommends creatine, vitamin D3, iron when ferritin is low, adaptogens, and protein powder. Beta-alanine is also discussed as an exercise-performance supplement, but this excerpt does not show Sims specifically recommending it.

  • Creatine: 3–5 grams daily; Sims prefers Creapure, which she says may be easier on the stomach for some people.
  • Vitamin D3: Sims highlights it for cardiovascular, muscle, and brain health, and for helping absorb and maintain iron stores.
  • Iron: Vitamin D’s relationship with iron is mentioned, but this excerpt does not establish Sims’s specific advice to supplement iron only when ferritin is low or around menstruation.
  • Adaptogens: She names ashwagandha, holy basil or tulsi, shashandra, and the medicinal mushrooms lion’s mane and reishi.
  • Protein powder: A quality protein powder can help women reach their protein needs when getting enough from food is difficult; Sims says to use it as a supplement, not a mainstay.
  • Beta-alanine: It is described as potentially useful for high-intensity efforts lasting roughly 60–240 seconds, with a typical dose of 2–5 grams, but the cited discussion is Huberman’s overview rather than a recommendation from Sims.
