1. NMN
NMN is a molecule in your body that is a precursor to NAD.
I take it to improve my physical performance, increase energy, support brain health & improve my sleep.
It has also been reported to support living a longer life but studies are still early on that.

I drink a shake in the morning to gain muscle & regulate my appetite later on in the day.
My target is to hit .8 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight & a double scoop of whey protein helps me hit this target every day.

4. Greens powder
Greens contain high levels of vitamins & minerals, antioxidants & probiotics to support the body.
Vitamin deficiency has also been linked to poor mental health.
You want to get your nutrients from your diet but this acts like nutrient insurance just in case.

5. Magnesium Glycinate
Studies suggest up to 50 to 75% of Americans are magnesium deficient due to their diet.
Magnesium can support overall health function & has been shown to reduce stress & anxiety while improving quality of sleep.

Krill oil is made from the oil of tiny crustaceans called krill & are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which support healthy joints, eyes & brain.
They fight inflammation, prevent heart disease & may prevent decline in brain function.

Vitamin D3 is the sunshine vitamin. If you get plenty of sun exposure throughout the day you may not need this. I live in Canada so it's necessary.
It can help improve mood, brain function & your immune system while strengthening your bones.
I take 4000 iu a day.
