Know what your body needs, and where to find it.
Browse vitamins, minerals and popular supplement ingredients. Each page covers daily needs or typical doses, food sources, the evidence, safety and halal notes.
Open a card to see daily needs or typical doses, food sources, deficiency signs, the lab test to ask about, which supplement forms are better absorbed, and what the research says.
Nutrients work as a team
Some nutrients help each other, and some compete. Open a pairing to see how to get the most from your meals and supplements.
Pair B6 + B12 + Folate
These three work together to process homocysteine. Low levels of any one can show up in the same blood test.
Timing Calcium, tea and coffee vs. Iron
Calcium, tea and coffee can lower iron absorption. Leave a couple of hours between them and your iron.
Absorption Fat + Vitamins A, D, E and K
These vitamins dissolve in fat. Take them with a meal that contains some fat for better absorption.
Pair Folate + B12
Both help build red blood cells. High folic acid can hide low B12, so it is smart to check both together.
Pair Iodine + Selenium
Your thyroid needs both: iodine to make thyroid hormone and selenium to activate it. Balance matters more than very high doses of either.
Balance Sodium + Potassium
These two work as a pair in fluid balance and blood pressure. Most people get plenty of sodium and too little potassium.
Synergy Vitamin C + Iron
Vitamin C helps your gut absorb plant (non-heme) iron. Pair iron-rich meals with citrus, peppers or berries.
Synergy Vitamin D + K2 + Calcium + Magnesium
D helps you absorb calcium and K helps guide calcium into bone. Magnesium helps activate vitamin D. Together they act as a bone team.
