Dr. Estima opens a bag of supplements to structure this segment, framing herself as a 'special category of nerd' who takes research-grade extras but is focused here on what matters for most women. Magnesium glycinate leads — easy to absorb, supports sleep, relaxation, and muscle recovery, with Dr. Estima habit-stacking it next to her salt and pepper at lunch and in her bathroom at night. Omega-3s (2–4g daily, kept in the fridge) are well-established for inflammation and cognition. Vitamin D3 with K2 — a pro-hormone rather than a true vitamin — is essential for sex hormone production and should be taken at 4,000 IU daily by virtually everyone, even those in sunny climates. Creatine (3–5g, previously seen as a 'bro supplement') is now embraced for women's strength, muscle volume, and cognition. Collagen (10–15g hydrolyzed) supports the frequently neglected joints, tendons, and ligaments. Vitamin C rounds out the stack as an antioxidant and collagen absorption enhancer.
