Supplements thread

lol iodine saved my life

I just recently started a new stack, most of it is shit with a loading phase though so Ill just have to see how long it takes:
Fasting days:
Yohimbe bark tea, no more than 1/4 tsp, shit tastes awful if any of you know a better way please tell me
Feeding days:
Magnesium, zinc, ALCAR, Foleus Skohli(seaweed extrsct, saw human trials with promising results),l-citrulline, 6k vit D, occasionally vit C, vit k2

I'm the OP of this thread
Have any experience or answers about the things I listed OP? Or anyone else. Seems like I just need to take half of the ZMA dose a day or only half my multivitamin.

>fasting
Absolutely confirmed for not making it

its good if you are actually deficient but this thread isnt about people who have deficiencies

Is there any need to take vitamin D if I live in Australia and get plenty of sun?

for the zma: just cut it in half its not a huge deal bro
for the vitamin d: standard medical dose for deficiency is 50,000 IU a week. just take 5000IUs a day. or less.

no

someone redpill me on acne supps. what fucking works, or at least makes some kind of difference?

Current stack
>fish oil
No noticeable brain gains
>calcium, magnesium, zinc
No noticable gains. Probably prevents cramps and osteoporosis.
>b complex with folate
Possibly more energy
>ginkgo
No noticeable difference in memory
>probiotics
No noticeable difference in mood
>vitamin D
No noticeable difference in mood.
Still brain fog and sad. But I continue to take all of these worried that it’ll be even worse if I stop. I was just about to start a thread like this.

Thanks man, I'll raise the vitamin D dosage too, I figure 1,000 or 2,000 IUs a day was good though; I'll read more about it. I don't think I'm very deficient if at all, so, 50,000 seems awfully high. Don't know much about it.

>natural male enhancement
In what way?

At least you didn't fell for ''muh racetam'' meme and nootropic meme in general, except for the OPIATE tianeptine.

stupid fucking post, you can't just say a certain micronutrient supplement "doesn't do dick" just because you didn't have an effect, YOU PERSONALLY might just not need it. It's like an obese person saying "food doesn't do anything to help starvation" because they tried eating more and didn't notice any difference. I appreciate the thought but you're giving people the wrong idea.

>having entire fasting days
goodbye gains

OP try more vit D, and ON's ZMA supplement. pretty good combination. btw Fish Oil is really fuckin good for you, just keep taking that shit even if you dont feel it. good for your joints esp if you lift heavy.

only other good shit is natural
>apple cider vinegar
>cloves of raw garlic
>onions and ginger
>maca root and ashwaghanda
>chamomile tea (god tier, look up the studies)
>tumeric

but the best thing you can do is more cardio and try out a bit of cold therapy (most people do cold showers, try work up to ice baths thats when the real gains occur desu)

Boron is good against joint pain. Had inflamed knees tendons or something like that, three days it was way less, week to was gone.

I have hypothyroidism

Not him, but fasting is good for losing weight, and maybe doing it once a week is good for a number of reasons, right? Right? I'm doing intermittent fasting atm but that's because I'm trying to lose fat faster.

Oh that is the last one, it will rape your test levels for sure.

Fish oil
Vit D
Zinc
Ashwagandha
Acetyl L Carnitine
Alpha Lipoic Acid
B complex

These will aid excellent brain health and hormonal profile balance

i'm not going to tell you what you want to hear user, sorry.

Read a study or two.

Don't listen to gymcels, fasting is based

>paying for memes

Anyone niacinpilled?

Fasting is great if you're cutting, not so good if you're bulking. Pretty simple.

Bump

B12 helps some people that have horrid b12 absorption rates.
Magnesium should be mandatory.
Vitamin K2 and D3 too.

>1 Detox

Dropped.

arginine and citrulline are both great

Does a ZMA with these supplement facts is a good to go? It says that this is a content in two pills

Zinc 7mg % IDR * 100
Magnésio 260mg % IDR *100
Cromo 35mcg % IDR *100
Vitamin B6 1,3mg % IDR *100

bump

How much iodine were you taking? If you weren't taking at least 50 mg a day for a month, you shouldn't be spreading disinfo, shill.

Fasting doesnt burn muscle, do you know why your body stores excess energy as fat and not muscle?

Because its readily available for breakdown and is energy dense, stop talking what you don't understand.

t. Biochemist

I'm not a fan of this trhead. OP has no idea what other people are deficient in and so what doesn't help him could certainly help others. If someone is outside all day for work doing 60 hour weeks, they don't need D3 and it won't help them. If someone is eating a lot of fish they don't need fish oil and it won't help them. If someone is on GOMAS they don't need magnesium. People need to try things for themselves because you never know what your body is lacking

GOMAD* I can't type today

If it was 98 on nmol/L, you aight white boi.

If it was 98 on ng/mL, im surprised you have no permanent damage.

When I run oral steroids I get lots of acne on my arms. I just use Neutrogena body wash with a boar bristle back scrubber brush and scrub hard. Haven't had a single one pop up.

Fish oil actually reduced my triglycerides about 25%, didn't change diet or routine so it works

Iodine works wonders for me, i had brain fog, took a pill of iodine and in 20 minutes it was gone.

>>Licorice Root
Isn't this shit for lungs health not a fucking brain?

try liposomal vitamin c, bro. picrel is a must-read imho

Don't know if this is what you mean, but I had some jawline acne that just would not go away. I started using benzoylperoxide a couple weeks ago, and while it isn't completely gone yet, it is soooo much better. Also switching pillowcases every 2 days now, and showering every morning and after workout, and then washing my face before bed.

>caduceus in logo
dropped

still less effective than eating every 4 hours for building muscle specifically

try nofap and see how things change

I take 4 grams of fish oil a day, and at least Vitamin D will eventually be added to that list. I'm record low in my Vitamin D levels, implying it's less an issue of intake and more an issue of absorption.

It once was so low that I took 50,000 IU/day under my doctor's supervision and it only raised three points. If I take Vitamin D my actual bones start fucking hurting. I swear, I'm going to get osteoporosis in my 30s.

you're supposed to take vitamin K2 with it

>St John's Wort
didn't do anything besides a plecebio effect on mood at first
>fish oil
Haven't noticed any benefits
>ZMA
Big cums and vivid ass dreams

>Testosterone Enanthate
The best workout supplement ever

>when my mom used to compete she took 50,000 a day
You people are insane.

I have to take methylfolate and methylated b vitamins because of my MTHFR mutation

And trust me, it does dick

Anyone tried l-arginine?

This Also magnesium and make sure you take D3 not D2
info.dralexrinehart.com/articles/vitamin-d-and-vitamin-k2-benefits-connection?hs_amp=true

Anyone try Arginine?

>MTHFR mutation
I have the same thing. I do feel depressed when I forget to take it but it could be placebo.

It works as low as 1000mg a day but its sort of expensive

buy a tub of it and cap your own pills

>>Tinaeptine
you best be trolling. that shit gave me an opioid high almost like the real deal. withdrawls are a bitch too

Thoughts on phenibut?

Eat better you disgusting pig

Is fish oil a meme? Every normie health source acts like it's a magic pill, but I've taken three per day forever and still feel foggy and retarded.

Related- Any supps for mental clarity and focus that aren't hardcore stims? Something like nicotine, though obviously I don't want to get into that (though I've heard you can use the gum/patches as a nootropic, anyone done that?)

I'm about 50 percent as efficient as normal ppl. I get fucking anemic and feel like ass when I dont take it

>MTHFR mutation
First time I ever read about this, could I get a quick rundown.

My supplements are: vitamin D (2000 IU / day), hericium erinaceus (2 g / day), and psilocybin/psilocin (2.5 g of dried p. cubensis on occasion).

Lowers DHT can be bad actually

>Spinach + Kale 200 g each, Spirulina 1 tbsp, frozen blueberry 250 g, ginger 1 big thumb, garlic 6 clove

Did you blend it? How did you consume this?

ketogenic diet with meat and saturated fat, mct oil, vitamin D3+K2, magnesium, 50mg iodine + 400mcg selenium.

something like 50-80% of the population has either 1 or 2 mutations in some random gene which can lead to depression, fatigue, some other stuff I think.

Asides from the supplements, what does your diet right now look like?

Yeah if you dont have any DHT to spare most with a little hair on their chest have enough to spare. If anything lowering free test to DHT conversion is in most mens interests

1) can I buy any brand of vitamin D3?
2) when should I take it
3) how much should I take?
4) before/after/with food?
Thanks

1) pretty much
2) when you'd normally get sunlight, e.g. around noon
3) 5000 IU (125 mcg) works for many
4) doesn't matter, as long as you eat some fat with it
also take vitamin K2 to protect your bones from the D3

Is a glass of milk (300 ml) enough fat?

full-fat milk, yeah.

1.7-1.9% okay?

better than nothing, but full-fat dairy is better.

awnser me

>biochemist
>Fasting doesn't burn muscle

are you joking nigga?

Isn't fish oil proven to increase memory?

How would you even notice fish oil effects? It's supossed to just make you a bit more healthy in the long run.

Since d3 deposits in soft tissues as well when not taken with k2 I bet this shit calcified the brain (when not with k2) because it’s transported in the blood stream. Think it would aggravate pineal calcification.

Considering iodine supplementation, but why is kosher salt not iodized?

Wouldn’t fish’s tendency toward high mercury content carry into fish oil supps?

Anyone look into detoxing from heavy metals?

Also, without health insurance, any home gadgets I can use to measure my levels of all the shit these things supposedly impact? Hate to tamper with inputs without measuring outputs.

Get a blood report and get whatever vitamin you're deficient in

If you didnt get high af off 80 mg tianeptine sodium then you got bunk shit
fish oil for mood/general autism

Add ashwaghanda

I've been taking zinc for three months rn, a pill everyday before sleep.
Better mood and feel more "manly", facial hair is growing much faster. Also because I take it before sleep I get really crazy and nice dreams, most of the time involving women. Might be an effect of nofap as well.
I want to improve my quality of sleep even more, so I'm gonna buy Vitamin D3 tomorrow. When I was younger I was diagnosed with depression, and even though now I feel really good I still have depressive episodes, so I'll get vitamins B9 and B12 and 5-HTP.
Also considering fish oil (I still have bits of acne around cheekbones).
Any recommendations for low libido? I'm 18 and barely have any sexdrive.

~150 mcg is needed to avoid severe thyroid disease.
More generally makes things worse, until you go over ~15 mg. ~50 mg seems enough for most benefits of iodine supplementation, but some people feel better on more.
Before taking iodine, take 200 mcg selenium for a week or two. You can increase it to 400 mcg when you start taking 15+ mg of iodine.
Here's some shit to read if you're interested in the research: optimox.com/iodine-research

This.

Use citrulline instead, it's superior in raising NO levels

A hobby haha
