The shortlist
- EAA, for intraworkout recovery and as a digestion-free snack.
- Creatine, for both strength and cognitive performance.
- Vitamin C, for general support.
- Vitamin D3, for general support.

Most of what actually drives body recomposition comes from nutrition, training, and recovery being set up correctly, not from a long supplement stack. These four are the ones worth the investment, everything else is far lower priority.
