A short transcript of Alex Hormozi arguing that supplements are often overrated, sometimes counterfeit or poorly dosed, and cannot replace addressing foundational health issues. He notes personal practice—taking 30–50 supplements daily—while criticizing additives, missing cofactors (e.g., vitamin K for vitamin D absorption), and preferring correctly dosed, additive-free vitamin D (3,000–5,000 IU) paired with vitamin K2.

I think supplements are overrated and many are likely BS and at the same time I take 30 to 50 a day. There's a few things. One is that no amount of supplementation is going to solve foundational problems that should be addressed by attacking the root cause and no amount of supplementation is going to reliably guarantee you live past 100. The next thing I'd say is that a lot of supplements are fake or dosed incorrectly or have other sorts of additives. Supplement itself has preservatives and colors and fake sugar and other shit in it. I'm like well I don't want that. It didn't have vitamin K which is necessary for the absorption of vitamin D. So it's like adding all of this other shit to my body and there's no vitamin K which is a co factor necessary for the absorption of vitamin D. Now take a correctly dosed vitamin D. Really good source, purely encapsulated, no additives. 3,000 I use, maybe 5,000 I use. They add vitamin K2 all of those things now make a form of that's just vitamin D.
