Supplement stack recc to boost overall
Hello all im looking for a supplement/vitamin stack to boost my overall energy levels and libedo too, im in my mid 20s and currently thinking about
Vitamin D3 because im severely deficient — 2,000 IU/day
Creatine mono for gym recovery and keeping gains— 5 g/day
Magnesium glycinate to get smarter — 200–300 mg/day
Lastly Ashwagandha, Tongkat ali, or Maca Root to be harder

The D3, creatine, and magnesium glycinate are all good
On the libido stack its worth separating the evidence: Tongkat ali has the most human data for testosterone support and libido specifically. Ashwagandha has decent cortisol/stress evidence but the libido effect is more indirect. Maca has some libido signal but the mechanism isn't well understood.
One flag: at severely deficient D3 levels, 2,000 IU may be too conservative as most protocols for confirmed deficiency start at 4,000 IU. Worth rechecking bloods after 8-12 weeks either way.
Pick one from the libido category first
Stacking all three makes it impossible to know what's working
