    Supplements

    I don't take a cupboard full of supplements. I take a small number of well-researched ones, consistently, and I can tell you exactly why each one is there. These are the ones that have earned their place in my routine.

    • Free Soul Magnesium Glycinate 4-in-1 Complex

      I recommend magnesium to all my clients — recovery, muscle function, a calmer nervous system and better sleep, and it replaces what training sweats out. This 4-in-1 glycinate complex is my current pick.

    • Hunter & Gather Collagen Peptides

      Grass fed, unflavoured and tasteless — I add it to my morning coffee so it slips straight into my routine. Types 1 & 3 for skin, bones and joints, no fillers, no additives, no sugar, dairy free.

    • BodyBio Butyrate (Sodium) — postbiotic

      Gut health and microbiome support — digestion, bloating and leaky gut repair. No fillers or additives, vegan capsules.

    • Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Isolate Whey

      Chocolate, vanilla or strawberry. I add it to warm or overnight oats with sliced fruit and a sprinkle of chia seeds or granola — an any-time-of-day meal that keeps you full.

    • Epsom Salts

      A long soak with a generous scoop is one of the simplest recovery habits I have. Warm, calming and a lovely way to end a heavy training day.

    • Creatine Monohydrate

      5g a day, every day. One of the most researched and most underrated supplements for women over 35 — muscle, bone, brain and energy. I use Optimum Nutrition's micronised powder.

    • Omega-3 Capsules High Strength 2000mg Fish Oil (IFOS Certified)

      High strength 2000mg with IFOS certified purity — exactly the kind of third-party testing I tell women to look for on a label. This is the fish oil I take for much of the year: no fishy repeats, and I know exactly what's in it.

    • Arbonne Daily Omega

      The vegan half of my omega-3 routine. Why take an omega-3 that comes from a fish when you can go straight to the source? Daily Omega delivers essential omega-3 fatty acids directly from algae and Ahiflower® oil, so there's no fishy aftertaste. Fresh tasting with a light orange essence, designed to support brain health, and sustainably sourced — the omega-3 without going through the fish.

    • Vitamin D

      Not really a vitamin at all — it behaves like a hormone, and most women in the UK are short of it. Bones, muscle, mood and immunity all depend on it.

    • Arbonne GreenSynergy Elixir

      My daily greens. Clean, vegan and the easiest way I've found to support my gut without thinking about it.
