Supplements
343 compounds in this category
Supplements in this database range from well-established compounds with decades of research (creatine, omega-3, vitamin D) to newer entrants with emerging evidence. The category includes vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and specialized compounds targeting specific biological pathways.
Caution
Supplement quality varies enormously between brands. Third-party testing (NSF, USP, ConsumerLab) is the best quality signal. "More is not better" applies to most supplements, and megadosing can cause harm.
Good to Know
Bioavailability matters as much as the compound itself. Many supplements have forms that absorb significantly better than others (ubiquinol vs ubiquinone for CoQ10, methylfolate vs folic acid, chelated vs oxide minerals). Check the specific form before purchasing.
