Lab-guided supplement plans for life at altitude

I'm Dr. Brent Jenogan, D.C., a Denver chiropractor and U.S. Marine Corps veteran. In the Corps I learned that small, consistent habits beat big plans, and that's how I build supplement protocols: simple, tested and made for life at altitude. Start with the Colorado Baseline Panel to see where you stand, then order only what your plan calls for. Educational information only; not a substitute for medical care.

Family and Pediatric Starter
3 more items in Family and Pediatric Starter
CHECK FIRST: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you take blood thinners, thyroid or heart medication, or immunosuppressants; have kidney or liver disease; are pregnant or nursing; or are under 18. Get medical care for chest pain, black or bloody stool, unexplained weight loss, or severe headache or confusion at altitude. Iron and zinc are added only after lab results are reviewed. Vitamin D above 2,000 IU is added after a 25-OH vitamin D result, and the daily total should not exceed 4,000 IU without your practitioner’s direction. Order the Colorado Baseline Panel first if you are unsure. FOR ADULTS. Do not give any supplement to a child without your pediatrician's okay on the product and dose. Children's needs depend on age and weight. Keep all supplements locked away from children. Iron is the most common cause of poisoning in young children. Giving children a strong nutritional foundation early in life helps support sturdy bones, growing brains, and healthy immune defenses. This pediatric-focused protocol provides age-appropriate, pure liquid nutrients designed specifically for infants and growing children when dietary intake needs gentle reinforcement. Infant & Childhood Bone & Immune Growth (Vitamin D3) Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, strong tooth and bone development, and early immune system resilience. Baby's Vitamin D3 Drops provides the recommended 400 IU of pure liquid vitamin D3 per single drop for breastfed infants or those consuming less than 32 oz of formula daily. Kid's Vitamin D3 Drops delivers 400 IU per drop for older children when diet or sunlight exposure is low, with dosing set by your pediatrician. Outdoor family play: Active outdoor time each day encourages natural coordination, motor development, and healthy bone strength. Cognitive & Visual Development (Pediatric Omega-3 DHA) Omega-3 DHA is a vital structural fat in the developing brain and retina, supporting learning, focus, and visual health. Children's Liquid DHA provides pure, naturally flavored omega-3s (delivering concentrated DHA and EPA) for children who consume fewer than 2 servings of fish each week. Nutritious family meals: Encouraging colorful fruits, vegetables, healthy proteins, and age-appropriate whole foods builds a lifetime of positive nutrition habits. Safety Note: Formal pediatrician sign-off is required before introducing any supplements. Always use pediatric-specific formulations—never adult products—and keep all supplements stored securely out of children's reach. Review progress at each regular well-child visit.

Altitude Athletic Performance

CHECK FIRST : Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you take blood thinners, thyroid or heart medication, or immunosuppressants; have kidney or liver disease; are pregnant or nursing; or are under 18. Get medical care for chest pain, black or bloody stool, unexplained weight loss, or severe headache or confusion at altitude. Iron and zinc are added only after lab results are reviewed. Vitamin D above 2,000 IU is added after a 25-OH vitamin D result, and the daily total should not exceed 4,000 IU without your practitioner’s direction. Order the Colorado Baseline Panel first if you are unsure. Do not start iron without a ferritin and iron test. Competitive or tested athletes: confirm every product with your governing body, and choose third-party-tested products. Heavy training needs a fueled body first, so check calories and protein before adding anything. Training and competing at altitude places unique demands on oxygen delivery, hydration, and muscle recovery. This protocol brings together sport-certified nutrients to support energy production, fluid-electrolyte balance, and cellular recovery in thin, dry mountain air. Bioenergetics & Fluid Balance Dry altitude air accelerates fluid loss through breathing and sweat, while intense efforts rapidly deplete muscle energy stores. Creatine Monohydrate supports rapid energy recycling and muscle cell hydration during high-intensity intervals and strength training. Electrolyte Hydration Mix replenishes key minerals—delivering 300 to 600 mg of sodium per hour of hard effort—to protect against dehydration and cramping. Pre- and post-workout hydration: Tracking fluid intake and weighing yourself before and after hard sessions helps ensure you replace lost fluids and stay ahead of dehydration. Altitude Oxygen Efficiency & Muscle Recovery Optimizing blood flow and easing muscle tension helps your body adapt to high-altitude training stress and recover faster between sessions. Beetroot Dietary Nitrate supports natural nitric oxide production to improve blood flow, oxygen efficiency, and stamina during demanding sessions. Magnesium Bisglycinate delivers 200 mg of elemental magnesium in the evening to relax muscle tissue, ease cramping, and promote restful sleep. Omega-3 EPA & DHA provides concentrated healthy fats to support cardiovascular elasticity and healthy exercise recovery. Vitamin D3 maintains bone strength and optimal immune resilience during rigorous training blocks. Restful sleep habits: Establishing a cool, dark sleep space and winding down without screens gives your body the dedicated recovery time it needs to adapt to altitude. Conditional Oxygen Transport (Iron & Vitamin C) Important: This targeted support is only for athletes with documented low ferritin or transferrin saturation on recent blood work. Iron Bisglycinate provides 25 mg of gentle, non-constipating elemental iron every other morning to support healthy red blood cells and oxygen delivery. Vitamin C enhances iron absorption when taken together on an empty stomach. Nutrient timing: Separate iron from coffee, tea, or high-calcium foods by at least two hours to ensure optimal absorption. Note: A follow-up iron panel and CBC are recommended at 8 to 12 weeks to monitor progress and adjust dosing.

Digestive Harmony and Gut Reset

CHECK FIRST: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you take blood thinners, thyroid or heart medication, or immunosuppressants; have kidney or liver disease; are pregnant or nursing; or are under 18. Get medical care for chest pain, black or bloody stool, unexplained weight loss, or severe headache or confusion at altitude. Iron and zinc are added only after lab results are reviewed. Vitamin D above 2,000 IU is added after a 25-OH vitamin D result, and the daily total should not exceed 4,000 IU without your practitioner’s direction. Order the Colorado Baseline Panel first if you are unsure. This protocol is not for blood in your stool, black stool, trouble swallowing, unexplained weight loss, ongoing vomiting or a fever. Get those checked by your doctor first. If symptoms last more than a few weeks, or get worse, see your doctor. A balanced digestive system is the foundation for energy, clear thinking, and overall comfort. This protocol provides gentle, clinically recognized soluble fiber, beneficial probiotic yeast, and natural digestive herbs to soothe the stomach, encourage steady motility, and nurture healthy gut flora. Microbial Balance & Gentle Fiber Feeding beneficial gut bacteria without causing uncomfortable gas or bloating helps establish smooth, predictable digestion. Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (PHGG) provides a gentle, soluble prebiotic fiber that nourishes friendly gut microbes; start at half a scoop (2.5 g) in water and gradually increase to a full scoop (5 g). Saccharomyces boulardii (Probiotic Yeast) delivers 5 billion CFU of a well-researched, resilient probiotic yeast that supports the intestinal barrier and protects against microbial imbalance. Plentiful daily water: Drinking plenty of water throughout the day ensures the soluble fiber can properly soften and expand, supporting comfortable daily elimination. Stomach Comfort & Mealtime Digestion Encouraging your stomach to empty efficiently after meals helps prevent feelings of heaviness, fullness, or upper-abdominal discomfort. Standardized Ginger Extract provides 500 mg of gingerols before meals to naturally stimulate digestive enzymes, support stomach emptying, and ease occasional nausea. Mindful meal pacing: Sitting down, chewing food slowly, and taking a relaxed 10-minute stroll after eating helps activate healthy digestive signaling. Conditional Support: Sluggish Elimination Note: These options are designed for temporary use if bowel transit feels slow or infrequent. Magnesium Citrate (150–300 mg) acts as a gentle osmotic bowel mover in the evening to draw water into the colon and encourage smooth morning transit. Triphala Fruit Extract (500 mg) is an Ayurvedic blend of three fruits taken at bedtime for gentle overnight digestive toning. Safety & Clinical Milestones: Red-flag symptoms (blood in stool, unexplained weight loss, persistent fever) and celiac testing should be evaluated by a healthcare professional prior to starting. A quick check-in is recommended at Day 14, with a comprehensive digestive review at Week 8. This information is not affiliated with or intended to treat side effects of any prescription medication.

Order the Colorado Baseline Panel first if you are unsure. Spending long hours at a desk and in front of computer screens can take a toll on your eyes, posture, and digestive rhythm. This protocol provides targeted nutritional and lifestyle support to ease digital eye fatigue, support healthy digestion, and promote overall metabolic wellness during sedentary workdays. Ocular Comfort & Screen Resilience Prolonged screen exposure exposes the delicate tissues of your eyes to continuous blue light, often leading to end-of-day dryness and visual strain. Lutein & Zeaxanthin provides plant-derived macular carotenoids that support eye comfort during screen use. The 20-20-20 eye break: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to look at something at least 20 feet away to relax your eye muscles and reduce screen fatigue. Digestive Health & Daily Fiber Sitting for long periods can slow down digestion, especially when daily meals fall short of the recommended 25 grams of dietary fiber. Psyllium Husk Fiber provides gentle, soluble fiber to support comfortable digestion and healthy cholesterol levels; start with half a serving (2.5 g / 0.5 tbsp) mixed into a full glass of water and gradually increase to 5 g (1 tbsp) as tolerated. Post-meal movement: Taking a brisk 5 to 10-minute walk after lunch encourages natural gut motility and helps maintain balanced post-meal blood sugar levels. Posture, Circulation & Evening Recovery Indoor office work limits natural sun exposure and creates muscular tightness in the neck, shoulders, and lower back. Omega-3 EPA & DHA supports healthy blood flow, heart wellness, and comfortable, hydrated eyes. Vitamin D3 helps maintain bone density, immune strength, and daytime vitality when working primarily indoors. Magnesium Glycinate taken in the evening helps ease muscle tension built up from desk posture and prepares your body for restorative sleep. Hourly postural resets: Stand up, stretch, and adjust your workspace ergonomics every hour to relieve pressure on your spine and keep circulation moving. Note: Always consume psyllium husk with plenty of water. Checking routine markers like HbA1c and cholesterol levels at around 12 weeks provides helpful insight into your metabolic progress.

Joint Comfort and Tissue Recovery
6 more items in Joint Comfort and Tissue Recovery
CHECK FIRST: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you take blood thinners, thyroid or heart medication, or immunosuppressants; have kidney or liver disease; are pregnant or nursing; or are under 18. Get medical care for chest pain, black or bloody stool, unexplained weight loss, or severe headache or confusion at altitude. Iron and zinc are added only after lab results are reviewed. Vitamin D above 2,000 IU is added after a 25-OH vitamin D result, and the daily total should not exceed 4,000 IU without your practitioner’s direction. Order the Colorado Baseline Panel first if you are unsure. If your plan includes fish oil, turmeric or similar ingredients, check with your prescriber if you take blood thinners or have surgery planned within 2 weeks. This is not a replacement for care of an injury. Get checked for swelling, instability, numbness or pain that wakes you at night. Healthy joints, strong tendons, and resilient muscles allow you to stay active and move without hesitation. This protocol brings together targeted fatty acids, collagen building blocks, and soothing plant extracts to support cartilage integrity, speed post-exercise recovery, and ease everyday stiffness. Joint Comfort & Soothing Support Calming daily stiffness and supporting healthy inflammatory balance helps maintain full range of motion. Concentrated Omega-3s (2,000 mg EPA+DHA) delivers pure fish oil fatty acids to support joint lubrication, flexible cartilage, and heart health. Check with your prescriber before using this dose if you take blood thinners. Curcumin Phytosome (500–1,000 mg) uses an easily absorbed turmeric extract to ease joint soreness and support comfortable movement throughout the day. Boswellia Serrata (300–500 mg) provides an effective botanical alternative to curcumin for soothing joint comfort, especially for people with gallbladder sensitivities. Ask your prescriber first if you take blood thinners. Low-impact movement: Gentle activities like walking, cycling, or swimming help circulate protective synovial fluid through your joints without excess strain. Tendon & Cartilage Matrix Support Supplying the specific amino acids needed for connective tissue helps rebuild cartilage, ligaments, and tendons after physical activity. Collagen Peptides with Vitamin C (15 g collagen + 50 mg Vitamin C) delivers essential structural building blocks; vitamin C works alongside collagen to stimulate natural tissue renewal. Pre-exercise timing: Taking your collagen shake 30 to 60 minutes before physical activity or rehab exercises delivers key amino acids directly to tissues while you move. Muscle Recovery & Skeletal Strength Muscles and bones require dedicated minerals and restorative rest to repair and adapt after daily loading. Vitamin D3 (2,000 IU) supports bone strength and aids muscle contraction efficiency. Magnesium Glycinate (200–240 mg) relaxes tight muscles in the evening and encourages restful, restorative sleep. Restful sleep habits: Prioritizing restorative sleep gives your body the uninterrupted time it needs for muscle repair and joint recovery. Safety & Clinical Milestones: Red-flag symptoms (severe sharp pain, sudden hot/swollen joints, inability to bear weight, fever) require prompt clinical evaluation. Avoid curcumin if you have gallstones or take blood thinners, and ask your prescriber before using Boswellia. Progress and joint comfort are re-evaluated at Week 6 to 8.

Executive Sleep and Stress

CHECK FIRST: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you take blood thinners, thyroid or heart medication, or immunosuppressants; have kidney or liver disease; are pregnant or nursing; or are under 18. Get medical care for chest pain, black or bloody stool, unexplained weight loss, or severe headache or confusion at altitude. Iron and zinc are added only after lab results are reviewed. Vitamin D above 2,000 IU is added after a 25-OH vitamin D result, and the daily total should not exceed 4,000 IU without your practitioner’s direction. Order the Colorado Baseline Panel first if you are unsure. If your plan includes melatonin or calming herbs, check with your prescriber if you take sedatives, antidepressants, blood pressure medication or blood thinners. Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel drowsy. If sleep trouble lasts more than a few weeks, see your doctor. Demanding professional schedules and constant cognitive focus can keep your nervous system in high gear, making it difficult to unwind and get deep, restorative sleep. This protocol combines targeted amino acids, calming minerals, and adaptive botanicals to smooth daytime stress, quiet an overactive evening mind, and support deep, uninterrupted sleep. Daytime Focus & Calm Resilience Managing intense workloads without caffeine jitters or midday crashes is essential for sustainable executive performance. L-Theanine promotes a calm, focused mental state by encouraging natural alpha brain waves; take in the morning with coffee or in the late afternoon to ease tension without causing drowsiness. Omega-3 EPA & DHA supports healthy brain cell communication, cardiovascular wellness, and balanced daily stress responses. Vitamin D3 supports daytime mood, immune resilience, and the natural sleep-wake cycle. Workday decompression transition: Building a dedicated 10 to 15-minute buffer between ending your workday and beginning your evening helps your body shift out of work mode. Nighttime Sleep Architecture & Deep Recovery Achieving true restorative sleep requires lowering core body temperature, relaxing tight muscles, and calming evening nervous system activity. Glycine Powder is a calming amino acid that helps gently lower core body temperature—the natural physiological signal for sleep onset—to help you fall asleep faster and wake feeling refreshed; take 30 to 60 minutes before bed mixed into water. Magnesium Glycinate provides gentle, highly bioavailable magnesium to release physical muscle tension and support deep, continuous sleep. Cool, dark sleep sanctuary: Keeping your bedroom cool (around 65°F / 18°C) and completely dark works in tandem with glycine to promote deeper slow-wave sleep. Endocrine & Cortisol Balance (Conditional Adaptogen) Important: Ashwagandha is recommended only after screening for thyroid health, liver function, pregnancy, and avoidance of sedative medications. Ashwagandha Root Extract (KSM-66®) provides 300 mg of standardized adaptogenic root extract in the evening to help normalize cortisol rhythms, soften chronic stress reactivity, and support restorative nighttime rest. Evening blue light boundary: Disconnecting from digital screens and dimming overhead lights 60 minutes before bed protects natural evening melatonin release. Note: A sleep check-in is recommended at Day 14, followed by a broader progress review at Week 8. If you are taking prescription medications or receiving testosterone therapy, review relevant lab markers (such as hematocrit) with your healthcare provider.
