Best supplements

Here are some insights on the best supplements from the Huberman Lab:

1. Foundational Health Supplements: Andrew Huberman emphasizes the importance of covering foundational health needs first, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and adaptogens. For general well-being, a broad-spectrum supplement covering these areas can be beneficial. They can improve energy, digestion, sleep, and overall physical and mental performance. Huberman mentions taking a product like Athletic Greens for these benefits but notes that similar results can be achieved with other quality supplements or a good diet if budget is a concern 1.

2. Rational Supplementation: Andrew Huberman discusses the importance of tailoring supplementation to the individual's needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Supplements can be very effective for specific functions, like enhancing sleep or focus, and may not always be obtained completely from food sources 2.

3. Creatine Monohydrate: Andy Galpin, in a conversation with Huberman, supports creatine monohydrate as one of the most effective supplements for strength and muscle growth due to its robust evidence base. He recommends 5 grams per day for average adults, adjusted based on body size, noting that the timing of intake is flexible 3.
