My Picks

Handpicked supplements to support your daily wellness.

Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract — Circulation Health
"This one's about supporting healthy circulation as you get older — aged garlic extract combined with vitamin E, cayenne, and hawthorn. It's doctor developed and clinically studied, which is part of why it's stuck around in my routine. Odorless too, so you're not walking around smelling like an Italian kitchen, which is a nice bonus."

Neprinol AFD — Arthur Andrew Medical
"This one's part of my daily lineup. 15,000 FUs of nattokinase per capsule, and it's meant to support healthy circulation and a normal inflammatory response — especially after I've overdone it with exercise. I'm not a doctor, so I'd say do your own homework on this one, but it's earned a permanent spot on my counter."

MegaFood Magnesium 300mg
"This one's become a nighttime regular for me. It's meant to support muscle and heart function, help the body relax, and support a normal sleep cycle — which, at 67, I'll take all the help I can get with. MegaFood's whole thing is 'absorbs like food,' so it's a gentler option if other magnesium supplements haven't sat well with you. Worth trying if you're chasing better sleep or just want to wind down easier."

Mecinalis Liposomal CoQ10 Ubiquinol 600mg
"This one's for heart health. Liposomal just means it's built to absorb better than the regular stuff, and honestly that matters with CoQ10 since a lot of it goes to waste if your body can't use it. Part of my routine now, no complaints."

Nutricost Taurine 1,000mg
"Simple, no-frills amino acid supplement. I take this mostly for general wellness — cardiovascular and cellular support is the idea behind it. 400 capsules means this bottle's going to last me a long while."

Nutricost L-Citrulline (Unflavored)
"This one's a powder, not a capsule, and I mix it into water. It's about supporting healthy blood flow. Unflavored means you can toss it into pretty much anything without messing up the taste."

365 by Whole Foods Market High Potency Vitamin D3
"Simple and straightforward — 5,000 IU per softgel. At my age, and especially if you're not getting a ton of sun, this is one of those baseline supplements worth having around."

Koncentrated K — The Original
"This one's a vitamin K complex with astaxanthin mixed in. The way I understand it, K2 helps direct calcium out of your bloodstream and arteries and into your bones where it actually belongs, instead of building up where it shouldn't. NSF Certified for Sport, which tells you something about the quality control behind it, even though I'm not exactly out there competing anymore. I've tried a few K2 supplements over the years, and this is the one I keep coming back to — it's the best one I've found." [View on Amazon →]

Wondercow Bioactive Beef Protein — Creamy Chocolate
"Grass-fed beef isolate plus colostrum, and it actually tastes good — no chalky aftertaste. Nice change of pace from regular whey protein if you're looking to get more protein in without overthinking it."

Nutricost Glycine (Unflavored)
"Another powder I mix into water. Glycine's known for supporting sleep and relaxation, which is why I usually take mine in the evening."

My name is Burl

Retired, curious, and done wasting money on supplements that don't do anything. I spent years falling for the hype before I started actually digging into what's in this stuff, what it does, and what's worth your money. I share what I find on my YouTube channel, Old Retired But Still Learning — no fluff, no sales pitch, just what actually works.
