Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is more effective than D2 at raising 25(OH)D. It requires dietary fat for absorption and works synergistically with vitamin K2 and magnesium.
Curcumin
Curcumin has poor native bioavailability, markedly improved by phytosome or piperine delivery. Trials support modest benefits for joint comfort and inflammatory markers.
CoQ10 (Ubiquinol)
CoQ10 supports mitochondrial energy production. Ubiquinol is the active antioxidant form and may be preferable, especially for those over 40 or on statins.
