Magnesium: Which Type Should You Take?
If you’ve ever searched “best magnesium,” you’ve probably noticed the problem immediately: too many forms, too many claims, and not enough clarity.
Choline: The Essential Nutrient Most Prenatals Overlook
If you’re not thinking about choline during pregnancy, you’re not alone. Despite being recognized as an essential nutrient since 1998, choline remains among the most consistently under consumed nutrients among pregnant women.
N-Acetylcysteine: The Foundational Antioxidant
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has long been used in medicine, but its benefits extend beyond the hospital setting. At its core, NAC helps the body rebuild glutathione — one of the most potent antioxidants your cells rely on to stay balanced, protected, and functioning well. When glutathione runs low, the liver, brain, and immune system are often the first to show signs of strain. NAC helps replenish those reserves and supports many of the body’s repair pathways behind the scenes.
L-Theanine: The Underestimated Amino Acid
If you’re not familiar with L-theanine, you’re not alone. L-theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid concentrated almost exclusively in green tea. Despite its long history of use in traditional cultures, most people consume far too little to experience its clinically meaningful effects. Functionally, L-theanine works on the brain’s key calming pathways—regulating neurotransmitters, reducing stress signals, and supporting deeper, more restorative sleep.
Trimethylglycine: The Nutrient Most People Overlook
Trimethylglycine (TMG), also known as betaine, is one of the body’s most powerful yet overlooked nutrients for methylation, liver health, and detoxification. Learn how TMG supports energy, mood, and cardiovascular balance — and why certain people, especially those with MTHFR variants or high homocysteine, may benefit from adding it to their supplement routine.
