Best Supplement Brands for 2024
Finding high-quality products to support your health and wellness can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be!
My approach to supplementation
My approach to supplementation is that it should be just that; supplementing. I always make food and lifestyle recommendations first and then use supplements where diet falls short or if it’s needed for an additional boost when working on healing.
How to choose high-quality supplements
The FDA has little regulation on supplements, and many are mislabeled (scary, right?). It’s important to make sure your supplements come from quality sources and are third-party tested. Look for certifications such as NSF International, USP (United States Pharmacopeia), or ConsumerLab, which test for purity and potency. Research the brand's manufacturing practices and ingredient sourcing. High-quality supplements often have transparent labeling and avoid artificial additives, fillers, and unnecessary binders.
My most trusted supplement brands
Why I love them: Nutrient-dense, whole-food supplements without any unnecessary additives. They prioritize using ingredients that are organic, sustainably sourced, and free from GMOs, soy, and gluten. The company is transparent about their sourcing and manufacturing processes, ensuring that each product is of the highest quality. Gelatin, acerola cherry, desiccated liver, and more are offered without any gums or weird junk, making their supplements as clean as possible.
My favorite products:
Hydrolyzed Collagen: Collagen is responsible for numerous functions like skin health, hair, nails, joint health, digestion, and so much more. Collagen production starts to slow down in our 20’s, so I recommend anyone over the age of 20 to consume a diet rich collagen, and to supplement where needed.
Acerola: Vitamin C not only aids the immune system, but it also helps the body fight off free radicals, is needed for collagen production, helps the body absorb iron and other nutrients, and more. Acerola cherries have been found to have 50-125 times the amount of vitamin C of oranges, which is why we always keep this on hand. They also have a capsule form.
Desiccated beef liver: Grass-fed beef liver is high in vitamin A, iron, vitamin B12, and amino acids. The powder is great for adding to ground beef dishes, which is an amazing way to get kids to take it. They also have capsules if you prefer to do it that way.
Bone broth powder: Bone broth is a super food and is very high in collagen. Perfect Supplements Bone Broth Powder is made from 100% USDA Organic and free-range chickens, and makes it easy when you don’t have time (or high-quality bones) to make it yourself.

Why I love them: Committed to non-toxic, filler-free, and bioenergetic supplements. They focus on creating biologically supportive products that work with the body’s natural processes. Their formulations contain no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or unnecessary fillers. Their focus on bioenergetics ensures that the supplements provide not just nutritional support, but also enhance the body's energy and overall well-being.
My favorite products:
Energi+: Formulated with the most bioactive forms of vitamin B, and is crucial for proper methylation. B vitamins are especially important in pregnancy to help with proper neural development.
Balance: Magnesium is arguably one of the most important minerals and one that most people are deficient in. It helps to balance cholesterol, lower stress, sleep quality, regulate calcium levels, maintain proper blood pressure and so much more.
Regulate: Many people get enough calcium in their diet, but their calcium isn’t going to the right place. Vitamin K2 is crucial in pulling calcium out of the soft tissues and the arteries and directing it back into the bone, preventing harmful buildup.
Antidote: Vitamin E has so many functions including but not limited to preventing the oxidation of polyunsaturated fats, decreasing excess estrogen, aids in weight loss, improves cell waste detoxification, reverses age spots, aids in fertility, and improves insulin resistance.
