Frequently Asked
What's the best supplement stack for longevity?+

The leaderboard updates live, but the recurring community top picks for the longevity goal are: omega-3 EPA/DHA, creatine monohydrate, vitamin D3+K2, magnesium glycinate, and either NMN or NR. These are also the items with the cleanest published evidence per dollar.

What about a stack for energy?+

Different community pattern entirely — energy stacks center on caffeine + L-theanine, B-complex (especially for vegans / over-60s), magnesium, and increasingly L-tyrosine for high-demand days. CoQ10 shows up in older-adult stacks for the same reason.

What's a good sleep stack?+

Most-voted sleep stacks: magnesium glycinate (200–400 mg, 1–2 hours before bed), glycine (3 g), low-dose melatonin (0.3–0.5 mg, not 5–10 mg — counterproductive), and sometimes L-theanine or apigenin. Avoid anything with caffeine, niacin, or stimulants in the second half of the day.

How many supplements should I take?+

Stack size correlates poorly with outcome. The 3–5 items with the cleanest individual evidence (omega-3, vitamin D, magnesium, creatine, optional B-complex) cover most of the easy wins. Add goal-specific items above that. Drop anything you can't tie to a measurable change in a target outcome every 90 days.

Is this medical advice?+

No. This is community-aggregated user data — what people self-report taking for each goal — not a personalized recommendation. Talk to a physician (preferably one trained in longevity or sports medicine) before adding anything beyond well-tested basics, especially if you take prescription medications.

Why pick by goal instead of just listing everything?+

The same person can rationally take very different stacks at different times — a fat-loss cut, an athletic block, a sleep-fix period. Goal segmentation surfaces actual usage patterns instead of forcing one master list that doesn't describe how people use these in practice.

The Science

Building a stack around a goal, not a guru

The clearest organizing principle for a supplement stack is the goal it serves. A stack for longevity (NAD+ precursors, magnesium, vitamin D, omega-3, creatine) shares almost no ingredients with a stack for sleep (magnesium glycinate, glycine, low-dose melatonin) or focus (caffeine + L-theanine, L-tyrosine on demanding days). Most users overstack because they pull individual recommendations from different gurus pursuing different goals.

Floor a stack at the cheap, evidence-rich items (vitamin D if you're deficient, omega-3 EPA/DHA, magnesium for sleep + cramping, creatine for strength + cognition). Add goal-specific items above that. Audit every 90 days: drop anything you can't tie to a measurable change in a target outcome.
