Best Supplements for Men Over 40 | Jeremy Scott Fitness
At 43, I look at supplements differently than I did at 23
Back then you wanted the craziest pre workout you could find and anything promising bigger arms by Friday.
Now?
I want to be strong.
Lean.
Athletic.
Mobile.
Full of energy.
And capable of doing whatever the hell I want physically for as long as possible.
That's the same philosophy behind my training and the same philosophy behind JSF Nutrition.

If you're a guy in your late 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond, I wouldn't make your supplement routine complicated.
I'd focus on the fundamentals.
PROTEIN: PROTECT THE MUSCLE
Muscle doesn't just make you look better.
It's part of your physical armor as you age.
That means resistance training needs to remain a priority, and you need enough protein to support it.
Whole foods should make up most of your diet, but whey protein gives busy guys an incredibly simple way to increase daily protein intake.
Keep some at home.
Keep a shaker at work.
Make the good decision easier.
CREATINE: KEEP IT SIMPLE
Creatine is one of the first supplements I recommend when somebody asks me where to start.
I take a simple approach. Use it consistently and stop overthinking it.
Your training still has to be there.
Your nutrition still has to be there.
Creatine simply supports the process.
HYDRATE+: ESPECIALLY IF YOU TRAIN HARD
The older I get, the more I respect hydration.
Hard lifting, conditioning, rucking, basketball, BJJ, hiking and simply being outside in Scottsdale can mean a lot of sweat.
Water is step one.
Electrolytes can be another useful tool when you're training and sweating heavily.
That's where Hydrate+ fits into my routine.
COLLAGEN: THINK LONG TERM
I don't train for next month.
I train for the next 30 years.
That's why my entire approach includes thinking about more than just muscle size.
I want a body that works.
Collagen Peptides are an easy addition to the bigger nutrition picture for active adults who are thinking long term.
DAILY HEALTH: DO THE BORING STUFF
Omega 3.
Greens.
A quality multivitamin.
Sleep and recovery support when needed.
None of this replaces eating vegetables, sleeping enough or taking care of yourself.
It's there to support the foundation.
That's probably the biggest piece of advice I can give any man over 40 when it comes to supplements.
Don't search for something that lets you avoid doing the work.
Find things that help you do the work more consistently.
Because no supplement can replace lifting weights.
No powder can replace walking.
No capsule can replace sleeping.
And no stack can fix a terrible diet.
Get those things right first.
Then build a simple supplement routine around your goals.
That's exactly why I built JSF Nutrition and the Jeremy Scott Fitness Supplements lineup.
To give people who actually train a simple place to find the products I believe make sense.
Train hard.
Stay athletic.
Keep muscle on your frame.
Take care of your body.
And play the long game.
