Just noticed that I'm taking about 10 supplements a day:
B12 Complete Iron Spray Magnesium and Zinc Creatine Vitamin D2 Beta Carotene Tumeric spray Iodine Calcium
I'm also vegan. I'm not sure if this is too much, but I've been feeling a lot better when I started to take all these supplements, but that could also be placebo effect.
I'm vegan as well. I do b12 injections on myself and the occasional vitamin D during winter. That's it!

The essencials for good T levels are: Zinc picolinate 20mg~50mg Vit. D3 3.000~6.000UI
( the good thing about picolinate is that it is the form the body better absorbs and you can even take it with empt stomach and it wont hurt)
I eat like 3000 calories per day full of energy and great mood because 80%+ of my diet is carbohydrates. Serotonin and dopamine require lots of carbs and if you're into fitness you need even more carbs. Tons of people take tons of supplements and depression meds because they feel like garbage probably because they eat like 300g carbs max per day luls. Eat at least 500 per day and see how you feel. I only take b12 just in case and I feel awesome, even on my "deficient" vegan diet lol

if youre taking the mag and zinc with food, its not being absorbed properly.
it binds to calcium and is not absorbed with food
eat it on an empty stomach at least an hour after a meal, mag and zinc before bed is good for your sleep function too

so you wont eat meat but you find poking a needle into your body is natural?
Countless studies have shown that most supplements do more harm than good and that dietary sources are almost always better, with some rare exceptions It blows my mind that people in this thread are literally taking 5+ supplements PER DAY instead of fixing their shitty lifestyle that results in these deficiencies in the first place You're in Jow Forums for fucks sake
Vitamin D is hard to get sufficiently in many places, Creatine and Magnesium are hard to get sufficiently for most western diets, otherwise just fix your fucking diet you manchildren

B12 deficiency is a quite a common one, even in developed countries with lot of meat eaters. Vegan or non vegan B12 supplements are recommended, and b12 is in a lot of fortified foods. I just choose to inject because its affordable and the only clinically proven way to increase b12 effectively. B12 comes from bacteria and in a truly natural environment everybody would be fine with b12 but we are no longer in such an environment.

Currently taking
Zinc 25mg (with diet it ends up being 35 - 40) Vitamin C 1000mg Biotin 900mcg Vitamin D3 3000IU Calcium K2
Those are all of the things i struggle to get enough of in my diet. I used to take Magnesium but i get 500mg in my diet so accumulating 1g a day of a metal in my body isn't a good idea.
AFAIK b12 injections are the only clinically proven way to increase b12 concentration in the body. Its not always absorbed from capsule form because some people lack a required thing called "intrinsic factor" to absorb it. I don't know if I'm deficient or lack IF but I just give myself a shot in the delt every month to be safe and lots of athletes use it for performance

Lmao fuck being vegan

I used to slam veganism a lot too because I thought meat and other animal foods were needed for proper health and gains. Theres a lot of undereating anorexic/orthorexic vegans out there that do a bad job at representing the cause because of how anemic they are from eating 1200 calories per day. But as long as you eat enough and aren't afraid of slamming tons of carbs, you'll do fine. I feel so much better in many areas of my physical and mental health. I got into it for the health and now that I see I can thrive on it, its opened my eyes to how messed up it is that we breed and kill all these animals due to misinformation/ignorance, gluttonous decadence, and a disconnection from our natural human tendencies to respect animals.

...but you have to INJECT vital nutrients like a diabetic
Caleb Gomez
ITT idiots over consuming supplements they dont need.
If you're vegan you need b12. If you dont have sun you need vit d. EVERYTHING ELSE IS OVERKILL.
William Nelson
Not everyone has to inject. Its just the most reliable way. I don't even know if I'm deficient or not, I just do it to be safe. 1mg of b12 injection per month is enough and known to be very safe. Pills and fortified foods can work as well. Some people absolutely need to inject though because they can't absorb b12 orally, even the b12 in animal foods. There's quite a bit of the American population that are deficient in b12 and they're not all vegans.. meat eaters get it too.
Lucas Sanchez
This argument is so fucking retarded. Go look at b12 content in wild animals. No one in modern society is eating as much meat as prehistoric humans which is why they still become deficient. Do you think people used to just eat straight shit? It makes you fucking sick of you do

Vit D3, fish oil, creatine, NAC, melatonin, vit C. Used to take coq10 too but stopped because too expensive.

Too everyone in this thread that takes Zinc
Has it caused an imbalance in other metals inside your body or is that a meme, like zinc cause copper deficiency or whatever they say

Also, general question(s) for the thread: Is there value in cycling supplements? Does your body build up "tolerance" to certain supplements, and if so what would a cycle look like (taking a week off per month, or a weekend off per month, or taking a certain sup every other day, etc)?
Elijah Smith
>Does your body build up "tolerance" to certain supplements, and if so what would a cycle look like (taking a week off per month, or a weekend off per month, or taking a certain sup every other day, etc)? yes and it depends how long it takes tolerance to build and how long it takes tolerance to go back to baseline
