You can't out supplement an unhealthy lifestyle and I will always reach for food over supplements. My goal here is not to tell you to buy a bunch of supplements, but to offer quality brands that I have vetted and trust. These are all high quality, whole food based, nothing artificial and no "natural flavors." Natural flavors can contain carriers, solvents, and preservatives not typically listed on the label, even if the main flavor comes from nature.

important note from Wendy
Everyone has different needs when it comes to supplements. Whether it's budget, convenience or ethical philosophy, everyone has different priorities and they are all valid.
Some people might prefer a brand that carries a wide variety of supplements for one stop shopping convenience, like Just ingredients. Some might want grass-fed grass-finished animal based products like Heart & Soil or Lineage. Some might need some prenatal & pregnancy safe options like Needed. Some need to prioritize budget over 100% clean ingredients. Bottom line? Use what is best for YOU.

Protein choices come down to preference. I prefer a whey concentrate (intact fat/lactose/antioxidants) that comes from grass fed, grass finished cows that are pasture raised on regenerative land. The Heart & Soil Chocolate Sea Salt is my current obsession. It delicious and has the simplest ingredients: Organic Maple Syrup Powder, Organic Raw Cacao Powder, North American Pink Sea Salt.....THAT'S IT.

my fave protein snack
Our bodies are designed to chew and digest protein from whole foods, which is why I like having on-the-go options. Lineage air dried steak in garlic & onion is hands down the best protein on the planet. So delicious! Powders can be helpful for supplementation, but reaching for a whole food protein is my first choice.
Lineage has Type 1, II & III collagen from trachea and scapula and co-factors like eggshell membranes, Sea Salt and Vitamin C from acerola berries for better absorption. They also rigorously test for 390+ common contaminants like glyphosate, mold, phthalates, and microplastics. This is the best bovine option out there and what I currently put in my first cup of coffee (see below for what goes in to my 2nd cup).

This goes in my 2nd cup of coffee. Marine collagen is amazing for skin elasticity, but high quality, wild caught, is difficult to find. This one also has biotin, hyaluronic acid & ceramides.
Good quality, keep in mind the containers only have 14 servings, not 30. It's a 2 week supply.

other options w/ caveats:
EllaOlla
KIDS VITAMINS
Unfortunately, pretty much every kids gummy vitamins rely on natural flavors to mask the taste of nutrients and make them more candy-like. EllaOlla is different. It is a flavorless powder that you can mix in to any food. They are Clean Label Project Verified, test for over 200 contaminants and are my top choice for toddler + kids vitamins.

The majority of Mary Ruth vitamins are Clean Label Project Certified & USDA Organic.
First Day is Clean Label Project Certified & they source roughly 70% of their ingredients from organic fruits & vegetables.
The following brands do use natural flavors in all or some of their products. However, they also carry Clean Label Project certified vitamins. CLP checks for heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants that non CLP "natural flavors" might contain. That makes these natural flavors clean-er.
