Expert Opinion

Dr. James Morehen’s Personal Supplement Stack

Recently Dr. James Morehen, England Rugby's Lead Performance Nutritionist, shared into the Performance Nutrition Network his personal supplement stack he uses to about optimise performance.

Here's a look at the science-backed stack that powers his tailored approach to wellness and recovery.

Check out the top-tier supplements James relies on:

@nutrition.x: "I take 5g of their creatine monohydrate daily. It's essential for maintaining muscle mass and surprisingly great for brain health too."

@nutrition.x: "Whey protein is my staple - one scoop in Greek yogurt, and I always have clear whey in my gym water bottles for an easy protein boost."

@nutrition.x: "Vitamin D is crucial for immunity and illness prevention, also superb for bone health."

@conka.io: "One shot for brain health and cognitive function. The research is still emerging, but every athlete I've recommended it to loves it - myself included."

@heights: "The Biotic is crucial for gut health and immunity support."

@heights: "I take Vitals for overall health in a slow-release capsule."

@scienceinsport: "When I need extra sleep support beyond magnesium, SiS REST+ capsules with 5HTP are incredible for reducing sleep latency."

@healthspan.elite: "For recovery and joint support, I alternate between their Opti-Turmeric when dealing with inflammation and their Joint Physio with glucosamine and chondroitin."

@nutrition.x: "Data have emerged demonstrating a positive influence of omega-3 fatty acid intake on skeletal muscle.”
