My Favourite Supplements: Graded, Ranked & Reviewed (Video)

July 2, 2020 By Ben McEvoy

I’m a complete supplement junky.

Most supplements are bunk. But after years of trial and error, I’ve found a stable rotation that have completely enhanced my life.

Effective supplementation helped me:

  • Through finals and dissertation writing at Oxford University
  • Learn Japanese to conversational fluency in Tokyo
  • Teach myself the basics of computer coding, graphic and web design
  • Lose 50lbs of fat and get into the best shape of my life in 3 months
  • Concentrate for long periods of time on cognitively demanding projects

I’ve graded and reviewed each of my favourite supplements in this show-and-tell video.

Check out the timestamps below the video to jump to whatever supplement interests you.
