JJ Virgin takes thyroid medication first thing, then groups most supplements by noon: Qualia NAD+, Timelines Mitopure, and creatine for workouts; vitamin D3 with K2, omega-3s, and magnesium daily; digestive enzymes with meals. She also uses black ginseng from South Korea and Qualia Mind for focus.
There's two times I'll do most of my supplements, along with I take some evening ones specifically. I wake up in the morning, I take thyroid immediately, of course. If I'm eating before the gym, I wait and take my supplements at lunch. If I'm eating after the gym, then I'll take my supplements with breakfast. Probably wouldn't have any impact, but I always have this kind of ugh about this idea of eating, eating breakfast, taking a bunch of supplements, and going to the gym. Just doesn't feel like it would be a great thing. I put all of my supplements in a baggie, and then I just try to make sure they're done by noon. And the reason I try to make sure they're all done by noon, maybe 1 o'clock, is one of the things in that baggie is Qualia NAD+. And, you know, in my perfect world, I probably should take that out and hit it before I go to the gym because it's so energizing. It feels amazing. The other things in there, like my key nutrients that I love— I talked about the things I put into my gym bottle— but Qualia NAD+ is definitely a key one. The other one is Timelines Mitopure. Those Like, when I think of energy and being able to work out harder, creatine, NAD+ by Qualia, and Timeline, um, Mitopure, like my tripecta. The other things that I take, I take my vitamin D3 with K2, I take omega-3 fatty acids, I take magnesium, but I generally take the bulk of my magnesium at night, so not so much during the day. I travel with my protein digestive enzymes. I don't bother if I'm doing like some Greek-style yogurt or a smoothie, but I'll do them at lunch and I'll do at dinner. You think if there's any other super important ones I've been taking? I do take black ginseng that I got from Korea, and I have to import it in from South Korea. So I've— but I've seen such amazing results with it, I keep doing it. People keep asking how they can get it. I don't know, you have to go to Seoul. That's all I can tell you on that. So those are really my big ones. I will actually tell you that I've been taking less supplements over the years, not more, mainly because I know I'm getting in my All-in-One protein powder. I've got a lot of my vitamins and minerals, so I've just kind of reduced it down to the ones I feel really make the difference. So those are the ones. Once a month I do take Qualia Synalytic. That's a 2-day hit, but the rest of it are those. And then occasionally, if I'm really focused on writing or something, I use Qualia Mind.
