These are some of the dedicated supplements I personally take as part of my wellness routine:
1. Hair supplements
I usually prefer taking it in cycles instead of continuously for example, 3 months on, 1 month off, and then restarting if needed.
2. Collagen
I prefer hydrolyzed collagen / collagen peptides because this form is broken down into smaller peptides and is generally considered easier to digest and absorb than intact collagen.
There are different sources available, including animal-derived collagen and marine collagen.
3. Omega-3
Since I use tretinoin, I like it as part of my routine for supporting hydration and barrier function. It may also be something worth discussing with your doctor if you are on oral retinoids or if you have very dry / eczema-prone skin.
4. Antioxidant
Right now I’m taking astaxanthin, but I do rotate antioxidants from time to time. Depending on your needs and your doctor’s advice, other commonly discussed antioxidants include vitamin C and beta-carotene.
That said, I would not recommend starting antioxidants casually on your own just because they sound “healthy.” Even something as common as vitamin C is not risk-free for everyone when taken in high doses long term.
5. Magnesium
The glycinate and oxide forms are preferred for relaxation usually better tolerated than some other forms.
6. Iron + Vitamin D
I have been chronically deficient in iron and vitamin D, so I take these strictly under my physician’s guidance.
Very important: this is not medical advice, this is simply me sharing what I personally take. This video is non-sponsored.
Please do not start any supplement without speaking to your physician first. Supplements are not one-size-fits-all. people can have allergies, intolerances, medical conditions, medication interactions, or even excess levels that make a supplement unnecessary or unsafe.
