Allright dude I'm gunna give you unconventional advice. These supplements arnt profitable to mass market and thus arnt advertised in the muscle mags that gym bros jerk it to.

Corticeps Chaga and Lions Main are all mushroom powders that act as stimulants and cognitive enhancers. I use the four Sigmatic Brand.

MCT oil: is a great source of calories preworkout. By keeping your blood sugar stable you can ward off cortizol.

Digestive Enzymes: If you eat a lot of meat you might need help absorbing it all.

Coline and Inosotol: Can help repair a fatty liver caused by steroid or alcohol use.

YouTube this stuff especially the mushrooms.

I take omega 3s for my heart because all the men in my family drop dead of heart attacks. My blood pressure is lower when I regularly take omega 3s.

Ashwagandha for stress and anxiety, given I'm caged in an office all day with a long commute. There are secondary effects of lowering bad cholesterol and boosting energy levels.

Creatine for recovery since I lift/run several times a week. At my age, it really is more about recovery than aesthetics. Beautiful supplement.

I use a green superfood powder daily to supplement my lack of veg/fruits. Seems to increase clarity of mind as well.

I take a reproductive supplement because I plan on being a dad someday. It gives me a good dose of zinc and folic acid.

I get all my info from examine.com. If they don't endorse it, I don't take it.

A bag of Buckwheat and two eggs every day. Buckwheat is a under appreciated super food that is gluten free despite being a grain. Contains slow releasing proteins and is very tasty when mixed with eggs. Very popular in European dishes. You can get a box with packets that last you two meals a bag for about a week. Sold at target for like 4.30 a box.

I believe in a Whole Foods Plant Based diet.

Most of the top 15 killers are related to Western Diet.

Our Blood Vessels are our heatlh, affecting everything from strokes/alzheimers, heart attacks, lower back pain (discs need blood nutrients too), diabetes, and the first sign of bad vascular health is a failing boner since it's a coffee stirrer diameter blood vessel while the heart has straw diameter vessels. We've known since the Korean war that most young American men (77%) had some evidence of atherosclerosis already. Nathan Pritikin, Dr Dean Ornish, and Dr Esselstyn showed this diet can reverse atherosclerosis and AFAIK only one shown to do that.

This makes sense as Humans have a 160m year herbivorous evolutionary past and physiology and only took to meat last million years or so and in much smaller quantity than today.

I doubt there is any one supplement or pill. It's more that what we don't eat. Penn State showed calorie restriction leads to a increased life and health span in a variety of animals, down to the point where they didn't have enough energy to live. As such, because WFPB foods have the lowest calorie density, they will help restrict calories because portion control of high calorie foods has been shown to fail in most people time and again.

Fan of whey protein. Creatine and caffeine are pretty popular, but I try to avoid them. With any sort of chemical you put into your body, there are side effects.
