The Handbook Team’s Go-To Supplements
From the tried-and-true staples we swear by to the newer additions that surprised us, everyone’s got an opinion on what supplements actually make a difference. So we pulled together our honest, no-nonsense picks. The ones we’d genuinely recommend to a friend, not just what’s trending. Consider this your cheat sheet, straight from the people who’ve actually tested the bottles.
“When I first started taking Hormone Harmony, I wasn’t expecting miracles. But within days, I was sleeping deeply again for the first time in years. A few weeks in, my moods were steadier, my focus returned, and even my skin seemed clearer. It felt like my body was finally syncing back into rhythm.”
“I have been taking creatine religiously for a good year now, and after trying out a few different brands, this one has come out on top as my favourite. As an avid runner, I find this massively aids my recovery. It also helps that it tastes delicious!” – Amelia, Culture and Lifestyle Writer
“I’ve always focused on topical skincare, but I’ve been trying to be more consistent with supporting my skin from within too. Since adding to my routine, my skin has felt more hydrated and looks a little glowier, which I’ve especially noticed now that I’m wearing less makeup in the summer.” – Caitlin, Senior Campaign Success Manager
“I’m obsessed with Vida Glow’s collagen liquid sachets. They’ve become a non-negotiable in my morning routine. There are three delicious flavours, each with its own added wellness benefits, but the crisp green apple one has my heart; I’d happily drink it even without the collagen.” – Tamara, Contributing Beauty Editor
“My friends will tell you I’m like a broken record when it comes to talking about how good INDI supplements are. I take both the Body supplement – which helps boost energy, support the gut, sleep, and hit your daily fibre quota – as well as the Mind supplement that’s packed with lots of powerful mushrooms and plants 50 help with focus and cognitive function.” – Astrid, Contributing Fashion & Lifestyle Editor
“I always really struggled with sleep and have been on the hunt for the best magnesium supplement to help me wind down in the evenings. My sleep has completely transformed since I started taking this magnesium, I couldn’t be without it. It helps me feel less stressed in the evening, and I find I have more energy in the mornings.” – Sophia, Digital Content Creator
“Wild Nutrition is my go-to supplement brand. Their monthly subscription keeps me topped up with collagen, magnesium, and omega-3. The Collagen 500 Plus is packed with ultra-absorbable marine collagen peptides, vitamin C, and Mesoporosil silica to support natural collagen production from within.” – Harriet, Head of Partnerships
“Coffee certainly gives you a wake-up call, but I’ve found that Dirtea’s Mushroom blend coffee also gives clarity, without the early morning jitters. Introducing this to my routine has been a boon, and although mornings are lovely in the summer, you’ll be happy having this come winter.” – Yan, Senior Brand Partnership Executive
