With pharmacy shelves stocked with bottles of various sizes and prices, the world of supplements can be extremely difficult to navigate.
New products keep emerging regularly, making bold statements about what they can do for your health.
However, Dr Mindy Pelz shared you need to stick to two dietary products.
Firstly, your sex and hormones should play a role in the decision-making process, cementing a different go-to pill for women and another one for men.
Speaking on the podcast The Diary Of A CEO, Dr Mindy Pelz said: “Well, for women, the most important supplement she could ever take is magnesium.
“Magnesium makes every single hormone in your body.”
However, for those looking to complement their testosterone levels, a crucial product is zinc.
“For men, I would say the most important supplement – I mean there’s a lot of them – but for hormones, zinc, because zinc makes testosterone,” the doctor said.
The second important supplement to add to your medicinal cabinet isn’t dependent on sex.
Dr Pelz added: “Outside of that, for both men and women, the other supplement and the other measurement that we all need to be looking at are our vitamin D levels.
“If your vitamin D is under 30, you’re in a critically depressed immune state so you got to get it over 30.
