A certain lady is talking about healthy foods and supplements. Finally she says: So here are my bottom-line recommendations for the best results with the least number of pills.
Does it mean "final recommendations"?

Final , yes, but more likely bare minimum is the more exact meaning, I think.

NewguestSo here are my bottom-line recommendationsThe expression "bottom line" comes from the sales ticket (bill of sale). The total cost including the items purchased, taxes, less discounts are on the bottom line of the ticket.
So it is more like the "complete, total, all-inclusive"

She is giving "rock-bottom" recommendations, least possible. "Bottom-line" means what you thought it did.
