Supplements

before I order these supplements I want to ask yall advice and if it’s valid. Or if I should switch out anything. @BodieDysmorphia
Your current stack of zinc, magnesium, potassium, omega-3, and vitamin D3 is a solid baseline, but a couple upgrades would make it more aligned with looksmaxxing goals specifically:
  • Zinc – Valid. Stick to picolinate or citrate forms. It supports testosterone, skin clarity, and inflammation control.
  • Magnesium – Avoid carbonate. Go for glycinate for relaxation, sleep, and skin recovery, or threonate if you’re chasing cognitive benefits.
  • Potassium – Not needed unless you have a medical reason. It’s not going to boost facial aesthetics or hormone optimization. I’d replace it with something more targeted like collagen peptides or L-Lysine for skin structure and healing.
  • Omega-3 – Keep it. Look for a supplement that gives you at least 1000–2000mg of combined EPA/DHA daily.
  • Vitamin D3 – 1000 IU is too low for any real effect unless you’re outside all day. 5000 IU/day is the standard for boosting testosterone and skin health.
Nutricost is decent quality for the price. Just make sure you’re stacking these on top of actual lifestyle work. Supplements won’t mog anyone on their own.

As for your progress — you’ve got the base. Youth, symmetry, decent jaw length, and zero facial deformities. Not mogging on sight yet, but the 6.25–6.5 rating means you’re one of the few who actually has something worth building on. It’s not a cope, it’s the “if you put in effort, you will rise” tier. Most people are stuck at 5 and don’t even have the skull for change.

I already gave him a full plan with routines and supplementation guidance. If he runs it tight for a full year, especially with posture, masseter training, and fat control, he’s absolutely going to level up — particularly in side profile and facial sharpness.

Open to giving more feedback if anyone else is working on a serious plan and not just collecting cope lists you’ll never use.

Zinc Picolinate is valid. Bioavailable, cheap, and effective. Stick with it. 25–50mg daily is the sweet spot for testosterone support, skin clarity, and oil control. Just don’t megadose or it’ll mess with copper.

Vitamin D3 (1000 IU) is too weak. Bare minimum dose for maintenance, not optimization. Swap for 5000 IU unless you’re in the sun 2+ hours a day. D3 is critical for hormone levels, skin glow, and energy. Easy upgrade.

Magnesium + Calcium Carbonate is mid. Drop it. Calcium is irrelevant unless you’re on a zero-dairy diet. Magnesium carbonate has trash-tier absorption. Replace it with magnesium glycinate if you want better sleep, recovery, and acne reduction. If you’re going for focus instead, use magnesium threonate.

Potassium Citrate is unnecessary. Doesn’t do anything visual unless you’re cramping, cutting sodium hard, or training like an endurance athlete. For looksmaxxing purposes it’s just filler. Cut it and reallocate budget.

Ashwagandha Root is decent. Not mandatory but has utility. Lowers cortisol, smooths out stress bloat, helps sleep. Can indirectly improve facial sharpness. Worth cycling, especially if you’re anxious or wired all the time.

My Stack (Same Budget, Better Effect)
  • Zinc Picolinate (keep)
  • Vitamin D3 – 5000 IU (upgrade dose)
  • Magnesium Glycinate (swap for carbonate)
  • Omega-3 (add in, 1000–2000mg EPA/DHA)
  • Ashwagandha Root (optional, cycle 4 weeks on/off)
  • Collagen Peptides (optional aesthetic booster for jaw/skin/hair)
If you’re tight on budget, skip ashwagandha and potassium, and prioritize omega-3 and magnesium upgrade. Those hit harder visually.
