You can take it in a form that is really rapidly absorbed.

You can take it in a form that is very slowly absorbed.

And they actually achieve totally different things.

And so we don't consider those mutually exclusive.

There's also a form that is bound to another molecule that enables transfer across the blood-brain barrier.

And there's reasonable, though, because it's only a supplement, it's not subject to the same level of testing, but there's reasonable evidence that it's got some protection in the brain and augments sleep.

So you have three completely different types of magnesium, and I think there's benefit in all three of those.

I think another supplement that makes sense for almost everybody is creatine monohydrate.

There's physical advantages to that.

There's cognitive advantages to that.

Are they massive?

No, they're not massive.

But you always have to weigh the cost, both economic and risk, of taking something to the potential benefit.

And so if you do it on an ROI basis, I actually think creatine makes a ton of sense.

I would say those are probably the two closest supplements that I would put in the almost no-brainer camp.

I would put EPA and DHA, which are the two omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish.

Most people, maybe 90% of people, 80% of people probably don't consume enough fatty fish to achieve the levels that we believe.

And when I say we, I don't mean me personally.

I mean the epidemiologists and people who study this that we think produce the optimal levels of cardiovascular and brain health.

And so for most people, myself included,
