The right supplements for Crohn's disease, Ulcerous colitis, and overall health
There are supplements for everything imaginable. Some supplements have been proven by scientific research to work, and others haven't—turmeric, for instance. I've never stumbled across scientific research claiming health benefits. I still sometimes take curcuminoid supplements, and I'm convinced it benefits my overall health. Other supplements like magnesium have been shown in studies to improve sleep. According to Dr. Ronda Patrick, vitamin D may reduce susceptibility to COVID-19-associated lung injury. https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/vitamin-d-covid-19
This is my supplements list.
* B5 * Vitamin C in powder form
* Collagen for my skin
* VSL3 to improve my gut biome
* Biotin for my hair
* Omega3 for cognitive functions
* Zink to enhance my immune system.
For anyone with Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis, I highly recommend VSL3.
Complete list of supplements for sleep and overall health
I take magnesium. According to Andrew Huberman, the best magnesium for sleep is Threonate or Glycinate: 200-400mg 2-3 hours before bedtime.
Threonate is the form of magnesium that crosses the blood-brain barrier and will assist with sleep instead of absorption by the gut. ~5% of people have stomach issues with this form of magnesium, so be careful on the first night.
You can also take:
Apigenin: 50mg From Chamomile
Glycine: 2 gram
GABA: 100 mg
VSL3 is definitely worth a try if you have Crohn’s or ulcerous colitis. It was first recommended to me by Dr. Rhonda Patrick. Here are three articles she has shared on her website about VSL3. I usually mix one bag of VSL3 into my smoothie (LINK), and I drink that to break my fast. I drink it one hour before my first meal. I find this to be a great routine that my stomach loves.
VSL#3 improved HDL, insulin sensitivity, LDL, atherogenic factors, and inflammation
Probiotic VSL#3 prevents antibiotic-associated diarrhea in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
I sometimes take pantothenic acid (B5). I supplement it for better skin and hair. According to this health line article, it helps,
- healthy skin, hair, and eyes
- proper functioning of the nervous system and liver
- healthy digestive tract
- making red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body
- making sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands
Vitamin D. This is so important. If you don’t get enough sun, you NEED TO supplement with D3. I’m a dark-skinned person, and most likely, I need more than my wife, who was born and raised in Sweden. Her body has most likely adapted to the cold and dark Swedish climate than I have.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick has plenty of information regarding Vitamin D on her website. She is one of the people I trust the most regarding health.

I occasionally take Vitamin C in powder 0,5-1 gram. If I feel I’m coming down with something, I add vitamin C to my smoothie.
Omega 3. Omega 3 oils have shown tremendous benefits in new studies. Here is one that shows it even helps against schizophrenia!
Omega3 oils from fish can go bad, though. You can check different qualities and guide yourself right on IFOS. International fish oil standards. https://www.nutrasource.ca/certifications-by-nutrasource/international-fish-oil-standards-ifos/
Collagen. As we get older, our bodies produce less collagen. This is a post from Pro Ronda Patrick.
According to this Webbed page, collagen helps with bone density, skin hydration, and elasticity.
As you can see in this article, you need Vitamin C, Glycine, Zinc, and Proline to produce Collagen.
