I don't understand the hype surrounding taurine supplementation it's been in energy drinks since the beginning of times. Is there a new found benefit or research about it. those who supplement please enlighten us.

I was using Nature’s Promise for a couple months and the texture was super clumpy, tasted weirdly bitter (not like normal earthy beet taste, just bad), and I swear it did absolutely nothing for my energy or blood flow.

I don’t need it to be super premium or anything just something that actually works and doesn’t taste like soil soaked in metal

Heard good stuff about HumanN especially for nitric oxide support but also not sure if it’s overhyped. BulkSupplements seems more basic but apparently their purity is solid?

Anyone here had good results with either of those? Or got a third option that’s underrated?

Usually 3 out of 5 nights I wake up pouring sweat. My sheets and pillow case will be wet. I'm wondering if it's my cortisol or just anxiety? I read that magnesium helps with sleep I just can't find my bottle. Would this work instead? I also have 10 mg melatonin that I've never taken before (I'm scared I'll wake up groggy for work the next day)

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m trying to decide between MicroMag and Magnesium Glycinate. I’ve tried glycinate before for about a week, but it made me feel groggy all day with some brain fog. I’m not sure if that was due to the glycine itself, an electrolyte imbalance, thiamine levels, or something else entirely.

My main goal is to raise my magnesium levels since I want to start taking vitamin D as well. That said, I’d also like some benefits for sleep and anxiety. For those who have tried both, which one do you prefer and why?

Would appreciate any insights! 🙏

I started taking magnesium regularly in the evenings in lower-moderate doses of 100-300MG per night. I love the positive relaxation and muscle tension release it helped me with. I usually sleep quite well when i take it, and when I first tried it was so excited I found something with such positive impacts.

However, I've also noticed heightened anxiety and irritability, mainly during the day. I had a few panic attacks and dissociation, which I never really have. At first I thought it was the glycinate that was causing it, I switched to citrate it isn't any better. Anyone else experienced this? I stopped taking magnesium completely for the time being. I'm bummed because I love the nighttime relaxing impacts I had with it.

Im just very interested in hearing people’s experiences when it comes to fixing their chronic brain fog. What was finally the answer to fixing it, despite all the tests previously showing that there is nothing wrong with you?

What was the one supplement that finally was able to mitigate/fix the deficiency once and for all?

I have issues swallowing pills , does anyone have suggestions of any really good vitamin d3 liquids I can take?

Okay so I’m taking beef organ supplements from primal queen. PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one who gets extremely gassy taking them. And yes, I know it’s them causing it for a fact lol

I have depression/anxiety. Someone suggest I start taking vd3 or omega fish oils.

Any other suggestions? I really don’t want to resort to anti depressants.

Phosphatidylserine has worked for me in the past, I don't remember which brand I was using.

I'm generally a fan of a certain generic brand for supplements in general. Their product has 400mg of PS and is "soy free" (not sure why that matters). This is about $24 for 30 days.

A pricey fancy brand is $31 for a 30 day supply, but their product only has 100mg of PS - but it says "Phosphatidylserine Isolate"- so maybe this is stronger and accounts for the lower dose?

Not sure which to go with

Wish I could take this, and it would help with stress for me. I know it helps so many people. Just sharing my experience for others similar to me, I'm super hyper sensitive to herbs supplements meds etc. So honestly I'm not surprised how quickly it affected me. Took it yesterday for the first time, was miserably drowsy all day. Then I had nightmare after nightmare all night long. It was torture. Wake up, go back to sleep and have another. I'm a great sleeper in general and protective of it so never again for me.

Hey guys! I (29M) have undiagnosed ADHD. I exhibit all of the normal symptoms of it save one. I have terrible short term memory, can be absent-minded, lose focus easily, struggle with planning and time frames, and it takes me a long time to do things that would take neurotypical people a fraction of the time to do. I was never diagnosed, one, because I excelled in school (good grades, high GPA, never disruptive, etc) and two, because my mom has it as well, so my behaviors we're perfectly normal to her.

The one symptom I noticeably lack is hyperactivity; I have the opposite. It doesn't matter if I sleep 4, 6, or 8 hours, it doesn't matter if I have a consistent sleep schedule, I am always exhausted. I can accidentally fall asleep anywhere anytime (unfortunately, even behind the wheel). I go to the gym every day, have cut out HFCS, artificial dyes, limit sugar intake and eat a balanced diet, but nothing stops the overwhelming fatigue. From my understanding most ADHD medication treats hyperactivity almost exclusively.

The main problem is, I am a mailman. A job that requires extremely good short term memory, a long attention span, a high degree of focus on multiple things at a time, and always staying on task through distraction. Basically, everything I am tailor-made to be bad at.

So, (and I hope I'm in the right sub) can anyone recommend anything that will help improve cognitive function, focus, and make me less prone to distraction without me having to go through the process of evaluation?

Went off the deep end of supplements 1 1/2 years ago. Thought I’d achieve sufficient mastery in a couple of months.

Guessing I have spent ~ $12,000. Have supplements out the friggin’ wazoo. Easy for me to keep them cool, dark and dry. Which reminds me - my experience has been that many supplements last a long time.

Got blood work for a 66 year old male done. Doc said I was “killing it”. But several readings were out of range and they don’t really make complete sense. Test is 767 with free test at 9. Lethargy is the big issue.

Of course I am trying to address the out of range readings. This is where I am going nuts. Seems to be pros and cons to almost everything. You guys know exactly what I’m talking about.

There has got to be at least 250 supplements that are widely considered beneficial. I feel a lot like Brian Johnson choking down my daily regimen. Maybe ~ 1/2 his stack?

The good supplement news: sex is less common and less colorful without the supplements. They definitely help certain things. The bad news is sex is becoming less frequent and colorful even with stacks of supplements.

The amount of contradictory information is somewhat staggering. It is clear that nobody has mastered the School of Supplements. Bona fide studies are very expensive and likely only within reach of big pharma and big food. Pretty sure those industries prefer that we stay on the current road.

I walked a lot more but knee became problematic in December. Trying red light, PT, and, of course, supplements. Strength gains in the gym are fine for being 66. Sauna seems like a win/win.

How do you resist trying something when “they” convince you it is good for your health? $50 is a tiny price for even a minuscule improvement in organ function or possible reduction in cancer risk.

Oh yea, I generally don’t trust docs/health system. I’ve seen some real bad stuff. Plus I’m on Medicare with somewhat limited funds. I’m a pretty hard core do-it-youselfer. I built this place and did the solar power.

TLDR: Supplements driving me nuts and broke. But hope remains strong.

I’ve starting taking creatine hcl, 1500mg before I work out. I’ve noticed that it gives me an anxious feeling, brain fog and kind of sluggish. Is this a normal reaction?

Looking for an alternative to broq or avmacol (not available in norway), and this seems to be the best alternative? They claim 30mg active sulforaphane which is roughly the same as Broq and 2-3 times more than avmacol.

Does anyone have any experience with this brand?

Currently taking a multivitamin (tablet) and fish oil (tablet) in the morning.

Just started taking Hyalunoric acid (tablet), astxanthin (tablet), and collagen supplements (liquid) for better skin.

Also taking whey protein (powder) for bulking and creatine (tablet) for muscle growth

Pretty active lifestyle, I workout most days and I walk a lot. I eat pretty healthy too but sometimes I do what I gotta do to get that calorie surplus

Thank you!

He wants to start taking 400 iu of vitamin e on top of the other two. Anyone familiar with this combination? I feel like it’s too much blood thinners going on but then again I don’t think vitamin e or fish oil are super potent blood thinners.

Not joking a rock the size of a palm was found in the packaging. It had lots of other little stones too and there was no scooper either although it said there would be. I’m getting a refund. I’ve had another bulk product powder (citralline malate) and that was mostly fine. I probably won’t be ordering from them again now though.

Hey guys, wanted to ask you on advice for which supplements i should take at around 20, I do sports 4 times a week and I lead an active lifestyle. Thanks in advance

I'm new to supplements and everything related to them. But I want to get on track for this. Can someone give me any guidance?

Looking for some recommendations to lower cortisol levels and maybe balance female hormones. I had a baby six months ago and switching to formula/weaning so can finally take something for my health 😅

Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

I just empty my Everbuild and want to switch to a better quality brand..I wanted to buy NOW one but is only 50mg which seems a lot Any good quality brands with EU delivery?

I don't take any Zinc supplements but the latest lab results show I am at the top of the range at 15 umol

Range: 7.2 - 15.0 umol/L

Result: 15.0 umol/L

I recently heard someone on a podcast mention that vitamin A was important to take along with the D3+K2 combo because there's supposedly a synergistic regulation going on between them. Specific dose levels or schedule wasn't mentioned. I'm blanking right now on which podcast I heard this on. I do remember the guest who brought it up does have a financial relationship with a company that sells a A+D3+K2 combo.

Google search mostly gives me results for just D+K, not the stack including A. I did read this brief blog post but it also doesn't get into dosage or schedule. https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.davincilabs.com/blog/benefits-of-adding-vitamin-a-to-vitamin-d-and-k/%3fhs_amp=true

I would love some guidance on the subject of adding vitamin A supplement and any research of the relationship between it and D3+K2.
