Ingredient type
Mineral
Strong for deficiency
Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in muscle and nerve function, energy metabolism, blood pressure regulation, and bone health. It is popular for sleep and stress routines, but the best next step depends on diet, symptoms, medications, and the form used.
Open guideStrong for deficiency
Zinc
Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in normal immune function, wound healing, taste, skin, and reproductive health. It is useful when intake is low, but high-dose long-term use can create copper problems.

Iron
Iron is essential for oxygen transport and energy metabolism. It is highly relevant for fatigue and women’s wellness, but it is also one of the nutrients that should not be supplemented blindly.
Open guideStrong for deficiency
Calcium
Calcium is the major mineral in bones and teeth. Supplements can help when diet is insufficient, but more calcium is not always better and should be considered alongside D status, K2 context, magnesium, protein, and strength training.

Vitamin
Context-dependent
Biotin
Biotin is a B vitamin involved in normal metabolism. It is heavily marketed for hair and nails, but it tends to be most relevant when intake or status is low. It should not be treated as the answer to every hair-fall concern.
Open guideStrong for deficiency
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D supports calcium absorption, bone health, muscle function, and normal immune function. Because blood levels vary by sun exposure, skin tone, diet, location, and health status, testing is often useful before long-term high-dose use.

Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 supports red blood cell formation, nervous-system function, and DNA synthesis. It is especially relevant for vegans, older adults, people with absorption issues, and some medication users.
Open guideContext-dependent
Vitamin K2
Vitamin K is needed for normal blood clotting and proteins involved in bone metabolism. K2, especially MK-7, is often paired with D3 in bone-health formulas, but medication cautions matter.

Microbiome
Context-dependent
Probiotics
Probiotics are live microorganisms that can confer a health benefit when used in adequate amounts. Results are strain-specific, reason-specific, and not guaranteed for every gut complaint.
Open guideModerate
Prebiotics
Prebiotics are substrates used by beneficial microbes. In plain language, many are fibres that feed gut bacteria. They can be useful, but starting too fast can worsen gas and bloating.
Open guideIngredient type
Botanical
Context-dependent
Milk Thistle
Milk thistle is a botanical source of silymarin compounds commonly used in liver-support supplements. It should be framed as supportive, not as a detox cure or treatment for liver disease.
Open guideModerate
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic botanical used for stress and sleep routines. It is not right for everyone, and safety cautions matter more than trend-driven claims.
