What supplements/vitamins does Jow Forums take?

this and the ashwaganda meme

where are your stims?

>creatine
>glucosamine
>multivitamin
>probiotic
>milk thistle
>whey powder

Once my multivit runs out I'm switching to fish oil

Creatine and Glucosamine.
An outlet chemist just opened up nearby so I'll probably take a look

Right now:
Multivitamins+minerals
4k iu d3+k2
Sometimes fish oil
I agree that only d3 is important, multi and fish oil usually for a cut

Cycling iron 1 month on/off

Morning:
Super Greens 1scoop + Creatine 5gm in a shake.
Tribulus 2gm
B12

Evening:
ZMA
Elderberry extract
Vitamin C 2-4gm

Monday/ Thursday:
20,000iu of D3.

Preworkout:
Cup of Coffee with cacao and butter (200mg of caffeine?)
Beta Alanine 4gm

Didn't feel any different on citrulline at 6gm/daily or glutamine, or BCAA's, or you get the idea.
Whey is a meme, get your protein from milk and meat. I eat about a pound of chicken or pork everyday along with 2 quarts of milk which gives me about 190gm.

>tfw want to take magnesium but don't want night terrors

30k IU of D3 daily

>on a regular basis
Iron and D3 during winter.
Low dose of iron since my diet us deficient in iron.
D3 since we get verry little sunlight during winter where I live.
>after intese workouts
Magnesium

500mg test e/week

Anyone here has experience with maca?
Im only taking D3 and Bcaa's atm but im thinking about adding some maca aswell

Recommended. Felt slight increase in energy and focus.
No side effects.
Was taking a low dose.
Will buy again when I run out and up dosage.

Ginkgo biloba, magnesium, zinc, fish oil, vitamin D3, beta carotene

What effect did you notice from Ashwaganda, if any at all?

Ginkgo recommended?

collagen anyone ?

I take it for migraines. Seems to lower the frequency of attacks.

I've been taking d3 for a couple years now cause it helps with my mood but I just started taking k2 because I read something about it helping your body move the calcium and shit from your arteries to your bones and that vitamin d overdose is really just a k2 deficiency for the amount of vit d you have in your system. anyone know if that's true or not? did I just get meme't?

Why didnt you show the creatine powder? Nice coke btw

this is the ideal stack

Is Creatine really worth it? Ive read mixed reports

>180EPA 120DHA
Nigga you got memed on

Creatine is only truly useful after 1/2/3/4

creatine works and its dirt cheap

>my multivit only has 5µg of vit D
is this enough?

Food and Protein Powder. About to jump on Ibutamoren in hopes of getting a few extra inches.

no, 25+ is best

Literally the same, it's all you really need unless you have a deficiency. Even the fish oil can be done away with, but the good fish is expensive here.

It works, look up the science of it. it's pretty basic.

Real world output is an extra rep or two, and better recovery, but considering how cheap it is that makes it insanely worth it.

>180EPA 120DHA

I have Omega 3 from NOW that is 500EPA/250DHA and I take 3 in the morning
Also
>3 2000IU Vit D3
>2 Tumeric &Ginger w/ Black pepper extract
>1 mens 1 a day
>and 3 SNAC ZMA-5 before bed (cannot intake this with/near calcium or they will not be absorbed)
>Creatine
>1 Probiotic (really helps reduce belching gas for me)
I would like to add MK-7 back in.

>including chinese bathtub chemicals in a supplements thread

Go to /fraud/

Probiotics made my poo smellier but reduced my urge to fart to zero.

I literally have to make sure no one in my office is in a stall next to me when I shit though. The smell is unreal. I heard the janitor say "dios mio...." when he walked in while I was midshit one time.

What are some essential supplements for a cut?

Depends on your diet. You don't need any supps if your diet is on point.

Long term you should figure out how to perfect your diet anyway.

It's literally the only one that *is* worth it.

>whey is a meme, eat 50 dollars worth of ‘real food’ everyday for time wasted prepping and inferior protein quality from a shit laden plant somewhere

I hate you

Zinc
Omega-3 fish oil
Magnesium

Attached: FishOil.png (628x1052, 77K)

its been little over half a month, so far, not really anything. Like I guess some general anxiety I have is not as bad, but its also my favorite time of the year so it could just be that.

D3/K2, ZMA, and fish oil

Not to much of magnesium though will give you diarrhea lmfao

> I'm an undisciplined lazy bitch

Ground Sirloin $4.99/lb
Chuck Roast $3.99/lb
Chicken Thigh $1.99/lb
Extra large eggs 2.11/doz
Milk $3.00/gal

Its useful for portability and ease of preparation if you can find one that is that doesn't contain onions lecithin, preservatives, and artificial sweeteners. However most of those are cost prohibitive because you don't get all that much protein per scoop. Your best bet is to get it from food.

Not the other user but all the things you listed are at least twice more expensive where I live.

Damn son, that sucks.
amazon.com/gp/product/B000MAK59O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here you go. No onions or other crap

k2 is in greens in sufficient amounts.

D3 5k iu + K2 100 mcg
Caffeine + L-Theanine (love this shit) 250mg
Zinc 50 mcg
Creatine cycle
Garlic clove
Some ginger
100% cocoa powder in shake
Homemade kefir probiotic (free)
Funnybutt twice a week 1 g
Seems like a lot but most of this shit I just buy once a year for

Shit seriously? I'm in GA and it's like half the price. I've not paid over $1.29 for a gallon of milk in over a year

Milk has IGF-1, a lot of which reduces GH.

Powders are the cheapest protein, and much better for diversity of recipes (being reduced versions of the macro).

Buy Carlsen or Nordic naturals that hasn't been distilled, not some refined Walmart shit

>l tryptophan
Huge mood stabilizer, legit helped cure some of my minor depression symptoms when I take 1000 mgs in the morning
>l theanine
Before sleep, possibly slight improvement but not much
>ashwagandha
Moderate improvements in anxiety
>melatonin, various doses
Almost no results at any dose
>zma
No results, won't buy again
>vitamin d
Out right now, haven't noticed results but will buy again

Your fish oil is shit quality, almost no omega 3 ftty asses and it's molecularly distilled rather than natural triglycerides form

Flaxseed oil is great.

Tryptophan forms an excitotoxin, quinolic acid.

5-HTP is better.

What fish oil supplement is good then?

Not pushing you to buy more but melatonin works best if you take it at night, all lights are off, and at the same time if possible. Computer use before bed will also make it hard to work.

I love theanine but I take it for general calming, cognitive reasons, not for sleep.

>fish oil
That EPA/DHA split is what you look at when you buy tabs. I couldn't find any that had a good split for less than $25 so I just /deenz/

Also my K-2 is the same brand but mine is green and tastes like matcha powder. Don't know why yours is different.

Attached: 5UlJXwD.png (601x569, 57K)

Zinc 15mg (diet pushes it up to 30)
Magnesium 500mg
Vit D3 2000IU
Mucuna Pruriens 400, sometimes 800mg

What a waste of money taking that much. Wouldn't have any extra benefit

I think optimal (considering a day of no sunlight exposure) is 8-10k UI which is about 4-5 of those little pills.

I used to take 5 htp but there are a lot of conflicting sources. L tryptophan is a natural amino acid that your body gets from food, and it's a precursor to 5htp so your body won't make more than it can handle. I'd rather stay farther away from messing with hormones and stuff

IDK much about flax seed, but I think it's either more expensive or requires more pills to achieve the same omega 3 levels
I've done all of that for years, I've just never noticed a difference in my sleep quality when I remembered to take melatonin or not. I sleep fine without it so maybe I just don't need it.

myprotein Omega Plus is pretty good, 530/90. maybe a little too heavy on the EPA side but the best I've seen.

It's just a boost to your natural sleep clock so if you are doing all of that and going to bed at the correct time then you probably don't need melatonin. I just take it when I fuck up my sleep schedule, not as some nightly ritual, it doesn't boost quality of sleep.

will taking magnesium first thing in the morning still give me fucked up dreams?

>vitamin d
>ashwagandha
>curcumin
>krill oil
>turkey tail mushroom
>lions mane mushroom
>5htp
>magnesium
>zinc
>selenium

arginine makes me break out in herpes

real shit. Fuck arginine.

Does this shit actually work? I'd be happy to take arginine purely for better wanks.

also 6+ eggs a day, pre, and protein powder

Flaxseed oil is better because it adds flavoring and texturing, while simultaneously having lots of omega 3s.

For median budgets, .5 - 1 gal./mo. is plausibly minimalistic.

>soi
Sunflower lecithin …

"For safety, less than 10k"
"Up to 3k - 5k"
– examine.com/supplements/vitamin-d/
– (examine.com/supplements/vitamin-d/#summary2-2)

It's very basic (12.488 pH), so it's plausibly more safely taken with vitamin C or another acid.

No it doesn't. Even ED forums are calling it bullshit. I can go down the list on why it's bullshit.

>l-arginine
Only helps you get erections. It's also in basically every nut, including peanuts. Does not grow nerve endings on your dick, duh.

>onions lecithin
Completely made up. Show me any study where it positively affects sperm count, because apparently since it increases it by A LOT then it should be easy to notice in a study.

>zinc
Being deficient in zinc means lowered testosterone, but it doesn't do anything if you have sufficient levels already. Same thing with it's effects on semen count. Deficiency means less sperm, it does not "boost" sperm.

>celery
Eat 2000 calories of different meat and vegetables, bad sperm. Add a stick of celery or some pineapple? WOW LOOK IT TASTES SO GOOD NOW AND IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! Just lie to girls that you drank a pineapple smoothie before sex and they'll swallow and say it tastes good.

>kegels
Only thing I haven't had practice in since I don't focus on squeezing my asshole 200 times a day. Do it if you want, but it's meant for women.

Disagree with me? Empty your tank, then cum again and measure it. Then take your cum stack and cum again the next day and observe. Sounds gay but it's the only way to prove it.

… Some correlatives of ALA conversion.

>>and 3 SNAC ZMA-5 before bed (cannot intake this with/near calcium or they will not be absorbed)

Does this apply to the whole stack or just the zinc cause I'm currently on a evidence based medicine compound to heal after surgery

Calcium Citrate 400mg
Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate 168.8mg
Cholecalciferol (D3) 3333IU
Zinc Biglycinate Chelate 16.7mg

Did my doctor just tell me to take some bullshit cause I can't absorb the zinc and magnesium?

It only blocks Vitamin B, but the combo of Calcium and Magnesium causes a muscle relaxation effect apparently.

>>kegels
>Only thing I haven't had practice in since I don't focus on squeezing my asshole 200 times a day. Do it if you want, but it's meant for women.

Look up immortality training

Kung Fu practice where you lift weights with your pelvic floor (Kegels) supposed to increase growth hormone and make you younger for longer

Isn't that just leg exercises in general?

First link:
>Toxicity from vitamin D is mediated by altering calcium metabolism, which is potentially lethal. Doses should not exceed 10,000IU daily unless supervised by a medical professional.

Second link:
>Generally, 2,000IU should be sufficient to meet the needs of most individuals completely, with doses between 2,000-10,000IU not necessarily providing more benefit overall, but not being toxic either.
>20,000IU daily has been associated with toxicity,[62], while daily supplementation of 10,000IU does not appear to induce toxicity,[74]
Your 3-5k figure is based on this presumably:
>[...] the human body appears to be able to metabolize more than these levels (up to 3000-5000IU in men[61]) and the body tends to stop solar synthesis (when the UV index is greater than 3) of Vitamin D at a level roughly equivalent to 10,000 IU.[62]

>>>[metabolizes some 3000-5000]
It's fat soluble, so it's stored.

Currently : Andro, pre workout, protein, dextrose, creatine, multi, D3, BCAA/EAA intra

If flax seed requires conversion of ALA into DHA/EPA but fish oil doesn't, what are the benefits of flax seed over fish oil? Assuming you get a quality fish oil sup...

Lengthening of chains utilizes carbon, which is a potential benefit.

Point being that 10k UI a day is not going to kill you.

One fish oil and one men's multivitamin.

ZMA, 10.000IU D3

Are all these supplements necessary? I feel like I get my daily dose of vitamins from my food

Anyone else taken 5-HTP? I don't know if it's the 5-HTP or something else like excess caffeine, but I think I get hand tremors after I take it. My hands don't noticeably shake, but they feel kind of tingly, and if I hold my hand out flat to try and keep it steady it sort of vibrates. Is that like one of the side effects? Gonna stop taking it.

Just eat your veggies, salmon, drink milk, and you won't need to consume so many vitamins. It's not that hard lads

From what I understand Calcium competes for the same transport mechanism with zinc and magnesium regardless universal wisdom seems to be putting time between calcium and zinc and magnesium intake

you need to take magnesium and calcium together and avoid anything else
f.e. you can space them like this:
ca+mg , pause, zinc(possibly with copper) , pause , iron+vit c , pause, normal multivit
vit D can be taken at any time really

I normally take two fermented skate liver oil pills as soon as I wake up. I've also been taking some Amazon tier aromatase inhibitors & Psilocybin microdoses. Not sure if i'll stick to the aromatase inhibitors but I do want to experiment with Zinc and Blueberry extract next.

What are the mandatory supps to take?
