The Proof with Simon Hill

Are You Taking the Right Supplements? Masterclass on Creatine, Probiotics, Omega-3 & More


Listen Later

In this solo episode, I break down the most common supplements, including vitamin D, omega-3s, creatine, B12, and probiotics. I share what the science really says about their effectiveness, safety, and who actually needs them. I also explain how I use blood test data to make smarter supplement decisions and why testing beats guessing every time.

What I cover:

  • Vitamin D and optimal levels
  • Who really needs omega-3s
  • Creatine’s brain and performance benefits
  • Iron, B12, and nutrients to monitor on a plant-based diet
  • Magnesium and why most people are low
  • How to think about multivitamins and “daily essentials”
  • The role of testing in personalising supplementation
  • Supplements I take and why
