And this is why...

1. The recommended daily amount can be too low for a lot of people. The standard recommendation is 600-800 IU, but many people need more daily to reach optimal levels, especially in winter or if you spend most of your time indoors.

2. D3 works better than D2. D3 raises blood levels more effectively and stays active in your body longer.

3. Taking it with food increases absorption. Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so it absorbs better when you eat it with dietary fat.

4. You need magnesium to convert vitamin D to its active form. Without enough magnesium, your body can't use the vitamin D you're taking.

5. It is best to pair vitamin D with K2. That's because vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, but K2 directs that calcium to your bones and teeth instead of soft tissues where you don't want it.

6. Unfortunately, living in a sunny country doesn't automatically mean that you can't be deficient. Indoor lifestyles, sunscreen use, skin tone, and time of year all affect how much vitamin D your body produces from sun exposure.

What other supplement myths should I bust?

Some supplements need food. Some don't.

But it is actually not very complicated to remember

✅ Take these on an empty stomach:
• B vitamins, like a B-complex or B12
• Probiotics
• Collagen
• Vitamin C
• Iron (all other minerals are also better-absorbed on an empty stomach, but tend to be too irritating for it to be worth it)

✅ Take these with food:
For the most part, all the rest.

But don't forget that high-dose vitamin C can interfere with B12 if taken together.

Spacing out high-dose vitamin C and B12 helps your body absorb both properly.

That’s it. The only reel you need to save on this topic.

Your friend said magnesium fixed her sleep, so you went to he pharmacy and bought the one you were recommended.

Now it's 3 AM and you're still wide awake thinking “Why isn't it working?”

Well, it is quite probable that you're just taking the wrong type of magnesium.

Most people don't know this, but magnesium comes in different forms. And they don't all do the same thing.

The type that helps with sleep is different from the one that supports digestion or heart health or brain function.

Once you know which type does what, you can actually choose the right one for your needs.

I'm breaking down all the different forms in my next reel ;)

Have you tried magnesium before and been disappointed by the results?

Can a cup of pomegranate juice daily help support healthy blood pressure?

Research suggests it might.

A meta-analysis of 22 randomized controlled trials found that pomegranate consumption was associated with lower systolic blood pressure—by about 8 mmHg on average in the studies reviewed.

Research also shows pomegranate may help reduce inflammation markers like CRP, IL-6, and TNF-alpha, which doctors measure when assessing long-term disease risk.

The researchers note that while these results are promising, more high-quality studies are needed to confirm the clinical effectiveness.

About a cup of 100% pomegranate juice daily (or half a pomegranate's worth of arils) is what was used in most studies.

Just make sure you're getting actual juice, not sugar water with pomegranate flavoring.

Important: Pomegranate can interact with blood pressure medications, statins, blood thinners, and other medications. If you're on any prescription drugs, check with your doctor before adding pomegranate regularly.

That expensive hair growth supplement everyone's taking?

It works by addressing stress-related shedding, hormonal hair loss, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies all at once.

But you probably don't need all of those ingredients!

If you can use my explanation to figure out which angle is causing your hair loss, you can target it specifically by taking one or a few of the ingredients I mentioned and save money.

What do you think is causing your hair loss... stress, hormones, inflammation, or deficiency?

Do you want to support healthy blood sugar levels naturally?

Natural support for healthy blood sugar levels comes down to five key compounds that have been used for this purpose for millennia.

Here's what they do and why they work:
Berberine has been used in traditional wellness for over 3,000 years. Research shows it activates an enzyme called AMPK, which helps regulate how your body processes glucose. It supports healthy blood sugar and metabolism.

Ceylon cinnamon is considered the "true cinnamon" and is the gold standard for supporting insulin sensitivity. It's what's traditionally been used in wellness practices (while cassia cinnamon is the cheaper, more common variety you'll find in most stores).

Garlic supports healthy blood flow and cardiovascular function, which are closely connected to metabolic health.

Turmeric reduces inflammation. When inflammation is high, it can interfere with how your body regulates blood sugar. Turmeric helps support a balanced inflammatory response.

Black pepper extract amplifies turmeric's effects by increasing absorption of curcumin by up to 2,000%.

These compounds work better together than alone, which is why we formulated our Ceylon Cinnamon+ blend with all five ingredients in one capsule—no need to take five separate supplements ;)

Have you tried any of these for blood sugar support?

supplement advice! ✨

If you have concerns about your blood sugar, work with your doctor. These compounds can support healthy levels, but they're not a replacement for medical care when it's needed.

You took ashwagandha for two weeks.
Nothing happened.
Or at least, nothing you noticed.

So you stopped taking it and decided it didn't work.

But research shows that it takes around 4-8 weeks to start feeling the effects from ashwagandha.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, which means it helps your body adapt to stress by supporting cortisol regulation and calming your nervous system.

But unlike a sleeping pill or an anti-anxiety medication that works quickly, adaptogens work gradually.

If you have really high cortisol levels, you might notice changes sooner. But for most people, the benefits build over time.

You're not going to take it once and feel immediately calm. But chances are that if you take it consistently for several weeks, you'll slowly realize that stress feels more manageable, that you're sleeping better, or that you're not as reactive as you used to be.

If you tried ashwagandha and didn't feel anything, it's worth asking... Did you give it enough time?

The 7 main types of magnesium and what they're actually for:

🧠 L-Threonate - Brain health, memory, cognitive function
😴 Glycinate - Sleep, anxiety, relaxation
❤️ Taurate - Heart health, blood pressure, blood sugar
💪 Malate - Energy, fibromyalgia, muscle tension
🚽 Citrate - Digestion, constipation
💊 Oxide - Heartburn, constipation (low absorption)
⚡️ Orotate - Cellular energy, cardiovascular support

If you've been taking magnesium and not seeing results, check the label. You might be taking the wrong type for what you need.

In Part 3, I'll cover how to actually absorb magnesium properly, because even the right type won't help if your body can't use it.

Are you guilty of grabbing the cheapest bottle and hoping for the best?

Check your bottle right now! What type do you have, and does it match what you need?

“My magnesium glycinate comes from the Dead Sea. 🪼 What about yours?”

Okay, I need to tell you something.
Yours isn't from the Dead Sea either. Nobody's is.

Magnesium glycinate doesn't come from the Dead Sea, or any sea, or anywhere in nature.

Here's what it actually is: magnesium (sourced from seawater or ore) bound to the amino acid glycine through chelation.

Chelation is done in a lab. 🧪
It's how you make chelated minerals... you bind the mineral to an amino acid for better absorption.

This is how all magnesium glycinate is made. Every brand. There's no magical Dead Sea version. The Dead Sea claim? Mostly just marketing, although the original magnesium chloride may have come from there, pre-chelation.

The chelation process is what makes it effective. Not the source.
If you don't know what magnesium glycinate is used for or why it's different from other types, check out my magnesium series.

What's the most misleading thing you've seen on a supplement label?

Lion's Mane is one of those supplements that people either swear by or have never heard of.

It's a medicinal mushroom that's been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and modern research is starting to catch up with why it works.

Lion's Mane supports the production of nerve growth factor, a protein that helps maintain and regenerate neurons in your brain. This is why people take it for focus, memory, and cognitive clarity.

But it doesn't stop there. Lion's Mane also contains beta-glucans, compounds that support immune function and heart health. And it has a long history of use for digestive health as well.

Unlike stimulants that give you a temporary boost, Lion's Mane works by supporting the actual health and function of your brain cells over time.

People who take it regularly often report clearer thinking, better focus, and improved memory. It's especially popular among people who deal with brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or mental fatigue.

It won't work overnight, but if you're looking for something that supports long-term cognitive health and overall wellness, this is one worth knowing about.

Ever heard of it before?

You know those mental loops where you replay conversations, obsess over what you said, or spiral about what might go wrong?

A study of over 400 older adults found that those who scored highest on repetitive negative thinking had significantly lower cognitive function scores, particularly in memory and abstract thinking.

Why? Scientists believe chronic worry keeps stress hormones elevated, and prolonged stress isn't ideal for brain health over time.

This pattern has shown up across multiple studies, though this particular one was cross-sectional, meaning it captured a snapshot rather than tracking people over time. We can't say negative thinking causes cognitive decline, but the association is worth paying attention to.

The good news? You're not stuck with these patterns.

Mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, and simple interrupts like going for a walk when you notice yourself spiraling can help break the loop.

You don't need to become perfectly positive. But learning to notice when you're stuck and gently redirect is a skill worth building for your long-term brain health.

If you could change one habit to protect your brain health, what would it be?
