💊 Supplements I Take and Why
A gentle guide to what supports my energy, mood, and focus.
Let’s get one thing clear: supplements are not a replacement for sleep, hydration, or a balanced plate — but they can help fill in the gaps, especially when life gets busy or my routine gets off track.
At The Everyday Edit, I take a less-is-more approach. I’ve found a few key supplements that support my wellness goals — with intention, not overload. Here’s what I take and why.
1. 🌿 Multivitamin
Why: It covers the basics — especially on days when my meals are rushed or repetitive.
I prefer a food-based or women's formula that includes B vitamins, iron, and vitamin D.
2. 💧 Magnesium Glycinate
Why: To support sleep, stress response, and muscle recovery.
I take it at night — it helps me unwind without grogginess.
3. 🌞 Vitamin D3
Why: I live in a place with long winters and not enough sun.
It helps support mood, immunity, and energy levels — especially in colder months.
4. 🧠 Omega-3 (Fish Oil or Algae-Based)
Why: For brain health, joint support, and reducing inflammation.
Especially helpful during long workdays or busy seasons when focus matters.
5. 🥛 Probiotic
Why: To support digestion and gut health.
Bonus: I notice better skin and less bloating when I’m consistent.
6. 🌱 Ashwagandha or Adaptogens (Optional)
Why: For hormonal balance and managing daily stress.
I’ll add this in during high-stress times or when I feel “off.”
✨ Notes & Disclaimers:
I always take supplements with food for better absorption.
What works for me may not be right for everyone — always check with your doctor or a registered dietitian.
The goal isn’t to take more — it’s to take what’s helpful and sustainable.
Final Thoughts
Supplements aren’t a magic fix — but they’ve helped me feel more steady, energized, and supported through daily life.
Start slow. Pay attention to how you feel. And most of all, build habits that nourish you.
