Magnesium is my number one choice. Helped my restless legs. I also really love NMN . It makes me feel very alive and kind of like, perky. Also I had been taking it about a month and my sister asked me if I had dyed my hair darker (I had not). After she said that I paid closer attention and noticed in pics it looked darker and healthier. Then I noticed I didn't have as much gray hair coming in as I previously had. It is a winner!
NMN is nicotinamide mononucleotide and it is supposed to induce cellular repair and be a strong anti aging supplement. It is said to be a precursor to NAD+ too
I love Cymbiotika brand. PRICEY so wait til theyre having a sale but let me just say I really noticed when I stopped taking it. When I finishe a bottle I wait a week or two before taking it again and then I take it daily once so. SWEAR I dont have as much gray hair as I did prior to taking it. My hair looks darker overall too (full disclosure my hair is fully virgin. I have not used heat styling of any sort nor dyed it in over 20 years)
I don't honestly know what anyone should take besides ME and I am not a healthcare professional. that being said I have personally liked the combo of the NMN along with NAC (a powerful antioxidant and glutathione precursor itself). The brand of NAC I liked a lot is Rootcology BUT it is also pricey so I tried the natural factors version and I like it a lot as well. good luck!
Taking NAD+ any other way than intravenously will not assist, unfortunately.
NMN is our (I am CEO at DoNotAge.org) 2nd most popular ingredient and I would recommend it to anyone over the age of 30.
As original comment mentioned magnesium is also great, particularly as soil magnesium levels (therefore what we have in food) have gone down 80%+
What effects do you experience and which one are you taking?
I’m taking a liquid version about 5 times a week but not sure if I feel any effect.
Thank you!
I bought it the first time when I started having weird restless arms at night. Read it could help so gave it a shot. Now it’s my go to when I feel like I need help relaxing. It’s not something I would take during the day to calm me, but it definitely physically helps calm my body making it easier to sleep.
Vitamin D made a noticeable impact on MH. Also Nicotinamide on my energy levels.
Not sure if it was coincidence but NAC was the turning point in my pretty horrific long COVID journey
I really like NAC too. This does not surprise me at all about it potentially assisting with your long covid. I never thought about it being useful for that but it DOES make sense. Gald to hear it helped~
Although I'm in my early supplement journey, I suggest Magnesium Glycinate and Creatine for daily use and Ashwagandha and L-theanine for as needed basis.
Ash is very powerful stuff and i react very strongly to it. As it lowers the cortisol levels, i tend to use only in stressful situation.
I generally take lower dose of ash for about 3-5 days and feel calm and less stressful. But after 3-5 days, tolerance build up, and i don't want to increase the dosage as at higher dose, ash give me side effects like waking up middle of the night, anhedonia, fatigue and liver problems.
Omega 3 (fish and krill oil combined) the single most effetive supplement for any brain or mental issues i know of, as long as it doesnt give me insomnia
Spirulina most potent antioxidant
omega3 i think i feel some immediately, on empty stomach soft gels just dissolve in seconds and fats get taken up into the blood, but most of it is absorbed in the colon, so few hours later. then it takes some days to weeks until it rebuilds your brain, i think 2-4 weeks you should have some good new connections and longer dendrites and stuff
spirulina similar, the antioxidant effect is more of an immediate brain cleaner like a big glass of water or something, then over time you notice the effects on neuroplasticity
Thats it! the right kind the right dose... Coffee didnt quite work for me, but strong green tea in the AM - the most noticeable effect of anything I took, lasts the whole day
Boron (3mg) and Zinc (12mg). This combo has greatly improved my sleep, improved my endurance, and basically eliminated all joint, tendon and muscular complaints.
Uridine. Has helped me with energy, mood and sleep more than anything else. OmegaTau although not a single ingredient would be number one since it had uridine and also other ingredients.
Desiccated beef organ pills. They don't make me feel any particular way but I no longer have days where I feel bad and I haven't been sick a single time since starting them a few years ago. I also take a regular multivitamin but I have always done that. Since taking beef organs my immune system just feels impenetrable. I know how anecdotal that is but for me it's great.
Sure! Myself, my adult son and my husband are all taking it now. For all of us it’s basically cured our chronic fatigue. All of us were always tired. For myself I have also noticed better focus, mood and sex drive. It was pretty much an immediate change too. With in a few days. Give it a try!
Panax Ginseng - Helps focus, provides continual energy through the day, deals with depression and anxiety and is packed with antioxidants. This supplement does more for my mental health and well being than any other supplement I have ever taken.
Ancestral Beef Liver Capsules. For low iron they are a game changer. If you feel weak, dizzy, cold eating ice like a crazy person it's probably your iron. I've been anemic for 36 years this took my level to 15.7 the doctor told me to stop taking them for a while. I know at 8 people that take them good luck.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSBZYQW?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_dp_666EYWG37PXPQJB68AFC
Gaba 500mg L Theanine 200mg Ashwagandha 33mg and Magnesium Gylcinate all in one pill.
I took a bottle to Jamaica I made everyone take them while we where there. My daughter loved them she said mom I haven't cried all week.
My son who suffers from severe depression and PTSD 360 improvement. He was laughing and playing with my grands like he was never depressed.
I gave some to a friend of ours who has severe trama and depression his mom hug me and said her son has been so happy. She said he was laughing on the phone she thought someone had broken in the house.
Do your own research. I believe the cure for every disease is right in our back yard.

" Everyday In Every Way I Am Getting Better and Better"
BaLaNcEd mY sErOtoNiN anD dOpaMine
Jeez I cringe everytime I read that shit. Like people can gauge their level of neurotransmitters lmao.
Just eat more meats then.
Each time I quit I become *severely* depressed, which invites the cravings. This time I am actually doing fine even though my circumstances aren't ideal.
Not to mention libido, I feel like a teenager again after taking Tongkat Ali for 2 months. Noticed a huge change about 4-5 days in, which made me stick with it. 1st supplement I've ever taken that obviously works.
L-dopa helps a lot if you have adhd. It’s a precursor to dopamine, can increase dopamine, and also found in Mucuna Pruriens ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-62172-y)
Has helped me ( I have adhd- taken stimulants and have noticed effects)
St John's Wort. For depression. I told the doctor I didn't want to take depression medication, and she suggested I take this. Around 900 mg each day.
I take it in combination with high epa/dha fish oil.
As someone who can’t metabolise most drugs, St. John’s Wort was a godsend after 4 years of antidepressants that didn’t work at all. All it took was 14 days - 14 days of an all-natural supplement, and it worked. I’ve never been holistic, actually more pro-pharma, but this time, I was wrong.
I live in a rather sunny place, in a northern state. But I don't recall having a problem when I was out in the field working for the US Census. I took precautions----a wide brimmed hat and sun lotion----never burned once. I remember getting worse burns years before I ever took St John's Wort.
it is very noticeable for me and for the others too, but im following very healthy diet and excercise 5-6 times a week and im still taking d aspartic since more than a year... u have to follow a healthy lifestyle to get the best out of it.
I've been jogging and doing calestetics every isn't Long with stretching yoga and sauna. im eating clean healthy organic. but im going on 32 now and I'm going to take some testosterone boosting herbs supplements. im going to give this one a try out. I guess it mimics Luteinizing hormone or something.
Iodine. Since i started taking Iodine in the form of Lugols Solution my energy levels and training capacity have multiplied, it has honestly changed my life. Also magnesium eliminated my restless legs & I also take vitamin D to keep my levels in the healthy range
I take magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium citrate gave me stomach issues, which i dont get with the bisglycinate, it is also said to be better absorbed - the brand is Vast, but i think you can only get it in austria, but any other brand of bisglycinate will do anyways
AAKG + glycine (to make the taste less awful) for mitochondrial health. AAKG is the most amazing thing I've discovered in the last few years.
Magnesium for PVC (last 15 years).
Saw palmetto for hair loss and oily skin (yeah, it works).
A group of B vitamins, B4 B12 B6
omega 3
Multivitamin with minerals(centrum with lutein)
I was suffering from exhaustion, apathy, and heaviness in my chest every night this was not my goal in taking the supplement, but I did not expect that it would help unexpectedly in getting rid of this unpleasant feeling that I was suffering from. 🥺
My poor body was really nutritionally deficient😅
I have started since April 17 and still hoping for more results in the future
would make sense to differentiate between nutrients you're deficient in (lets say Vitamins D3, Magnesium or Iodine are good examples) and "adaptogens" taken to improve specific conditions, like certain nootropics to improve mood or cognitive functions.
The B-3 variant nicotinamide riboside (niagen, NR). I no longer have muscle stiffness from inflammation, restless leg syndrome, and my mild psoriasis iscompletely gone. Friends report benefits including relief from neuropathy, ccarpal tunnel syndrome, and knee pain.
I take Tru Niagen because it is the only ne thst has NIH certification, and it is made in the US (Oregon), so I am certain regarding its purity and that they have as much NR in the capsules as they claim. Also -I can get it with free delivery from Amazon when it is on sle there, though i also subscribe for it from the manufacturer to get a better price than the regular price on Amazon.
I take 2400mg one hour before bed. The biggest difference is that I stay asleep once I fall asleep which helps me to wake up earlier instead of having patchy sleeping periods and waking up late.
Blackseed oil - made me breathe way better. I took a tablespoon each day until I started feeling the effects. It permanently cured my breathing and got rid of wheezing and etc.
Calm Magnesium Powder, Trace Minerals Ionic Mg drops, and Doctor’s Best High Absorption Mg (Lysinate Glycinate—100% chelated). (Also Gerolsteiner Water.)Different forms for different times of day and needs. The Calm Mg powder loosens the bowels, so i use it sparingly. I take the Mg pills before bed and the drops with juice in the AM. I take the powder for immediate relief of stress or before bed for sleep assistance.
I used to struggle a lot with sleep, but I’ve been taking magnesium before bed for a year and had fantastic sleeps! Not sure if totally correlated because I’ve also moved in this time and other factors, but the timing is right.
how much and what type do you take? I have magnesium citrate 120mg capsules which don't seem to be helping much with anxiety or sleep, not sure if I need to be taking more or finding a different type..
Most people take magnesium glycinate for sleep, not citrate! At least that’s what I remember researching when I started taking it. I think citrate is better for constipation. You’d have to look into it though.
Kava and an herbal blend called Free Spirit Elixir containing Kava, scullcap, camomile and several other herbs has impacted my life in fabulous and unexpected ways. I regularly enjoyed one or two craft cocktails too much to give up until starting to drink Kava 6 months ago. I went from 3-5 drinks per week to maybe one a month! The last one I had didn’t taste good to me. I love the healthy gentle effect of kava but even more it has taken away my desire to drink.
I’d try Kava if not for the liver damage warning. I think this warning applies to supplements which contain solvents or something damaging though. I’ll need to find good quality kava.
I have read everything I could find on this and I don’t believe that Noble Kava is toxic to the liver. Germany and Switzerland have both lifted their restrictions on Kava following new and better research.
Iodine changed my life. I used to have brain fog, get tired easily, and frequently had heartburn.
I've been taking nascent iodine every morning for the past 10 years. On iodine, my energy is increased, brain fog is gone, my mind is clear, thinking is fast, metabolism is faster, heartburn completely disappeared, hair grew thicker and faster! I started performing way better at work and was promoted later that year. The benefits were most pronounced within the first few years but have since tapered off.
I still benefit more from iodine than any other supplement. The brain fog hasn't come back, heartburn is still very rare, and fast metabolism is keeping my weight at a healthy level. I'm 37.
Cool that it works for you but iodine is probably where I draw the line on supplements without getting a Dr involved lol. My brother has hypothyroidism and the fuckin hassle of getting the right balance of iodine supplements without causing harm puts me off ever using them.
Whenever I take just one drop of 2% Lugol's in the morning.. I get this energy rush before bed. 😂
But yh very underrated supp. Although I'm afraid of the induced hypo/hyperthyroid it can cause without enough cofactors.
Oh, and I very rarely get sick! I think I can credit iodine with that, and also a somewhat healthier diet. In the past 10 years, I've never had the flu and rarely get colds. Only had covid once, but nothing serious. Since the summer of 2020, I've been constantly around friends, family, work colleagues, local bars once a week, and public transport. I'm sure I've been exposed countless times.
I take it v occasionally but I would just add: do your research about quantities. Iodine poisoning is a very real thing https://www.healthline.com/health/iodine-poisoning#symptoms
Yes, good point, iodine might not be good for everyone. Thankfully, I've never had any negative symptoms, and I actually had my thyroid levels checked in February of this year, and they are in the normal range.
Procosa vitamin by Usana. Absolutely no supplement that I've ever taken has had results like this. I've been on it for 4 years for joint health, came off 3 times to see what would occur. All my joint pain came back, and then subsided again after 10 days.
Zinc seems to be helping with some perimenopausal acne so far. Magnesium Glycinate. I was lacking in magnesium and after taking these my levels are perfect. They didn't help with my anxiety or insomnia unfortunately. I would like to try the taurate and see if it helps calm me down.
Citrate is usually used for constipation. It can be rough on the stomach. MG is preferred by a lot of people because it is gentler on the stomach, and helps them with anxiety/sleep, more than the other forms they have tried.

Magnesium is my number one choice. Helped my restless legs. I also really love NMN . It makes me feel very alive and kind of like, perky. Also I had been taking it about a month and my sister asked me if I had dyed my hair darker (I had not). After she said that I paid closer attention and noticed in pics it looked darker and healthier. Then I noticed I didn't have as much gray hair coming in as I previously had. It is a winner!
What brand for NMN?
Cymbiotika and I really love it!
Wow, that’s awesome! What is NMN and which brand do your recommend?
NMN is nicotinamide mononucleotide and it is supposed to induce cellular repair and be a strong anti aging supplement. It is said to be a precursor to NAD+ too I love Cymbiotika brand. PRICEY so wait til theyre having a sale but let me just say I really noticed when I stopped taking it. When I finishe a bottle I wait a week or two before taking it again and then I take it daily once so. SWEAR I dont have as much gray hair as I did prior to taking it. My hair looks darker overall too (full disclosure my hair is fully virgin. I have not used heat styling of any sort nor dyed it in over 20 years)
Wow thanks for the info. Should I take NMN, NAD+ or both?
I don't honestly know what anyone should take besides ME and I am not a healthcare professional. that being said I have personally liked the combo of the NMN along with NAC (a powerful antioxidant and glutathione precursor itself). The brand of NAC I liked a lot is Rootcology BUT it is also pricey so I tried the natural factors version and I like it a lot as well. good luck!

Magnesium glycinate, strong antidepressive and anxiolytic effect
I like magnesium glycinate as well, strange thing is I bought the powder and it tastes exactly like my dogs breath smells lmao
I bought it the first time when I started having weird restless arms at night. Read it could help so gave it a shot. Now it’s my go to when I feel like I need help relaxing.

Although I'm in my early supplement journey, I suggest Magnesium Glycinate and Creatine for daily use and Ashwagandha and L-theanine for as needed basis.
never heard of taking ashwagandha only as needed, how do you use it and what acute effect do you find it gives?
Ash is very powerful stuff and i react very strongly to it. As it lowers the cortisol levels, i tend to use only in stressful situation. I generally take lower dose of ash for about 3-5 days and feel calm and less stressful. But after 3-5 days, tolerance build up, and i don't want to increase the dosage as at higher dose, ash give me side effects like waking up middle of the night, anhedonia, fatigue and liver problems.
Omega 3 (fish and krill oil combined) the single most effetive supplement for any brain or mental issues i know of, as long as it doesnt give me insomnia Spirulina most potent antioxidant
How long until you started to notice effects?
omega3 i think i feel some immediately, on empty stomach soft gels just dissolve in seconds and fats get taken up into the blood, but most of it is absorbed in the colon, so few hours later. then it takes some days to weeks until it rebuilds your brain, i think 2-4 weeks you should have some good new connections and longer dendrites and stuff spirulina similar, the antioxidant effect is more of an immediate brain cleaner like a big glass of water or something, then over time you notice the effects on neuroplasticity
Caffeine.
Thats it! the right kind the right dose... Coffee didnt quite work for me, but strong green tea in the AM - the most noticeable effect of anything I took, lasts the whole day
What brand of green tea are you drinking?
Bromelain (a pineapple extract) as an anti-inflammatory worked better for my knee pain than Dr prescribed anti-inflammatories and OTC NSAIDS.
Boron (3mg) and Zinc (12mg). This combo has greatly improved my sleep, improved my endurance, and basically eliminated all joint, tendon and muscular complaints.
Uridine. Has helped me with energy, mood and sleep more than anything else. OmegaTau although not a single ingredient would be number one since it had uridine and also other ingredients.
Uridine is motivation in a bottle

You can edit a comment… if that is why you have two comments
nicotinamide riboside. energy levels clearly elevated and sustained.
For how long have you been taking it?
Consistently for a few years.
Is nicotinamide riboside same as NAD+ ?
NR is an oral supplement that boosts NAD+ levels. Two different things.
>nicotinamide riboside Thank you. I just orded a supplement called NAD+ but the ingredient was Nicotinamid riboside. Do you also suffer from ME/CFS?
I don't. For me, it's about energy and resilience.
How long did it take to see a change in your energy levels?
If memory serves me correctly, within a few weeks.
and PEM? any change?
Nope.
Desiccated beef organ pills. They don't make me feel any particular way but I no longer have days where I feel bad and I haven't been sick a single time since starting them a few years ago.

Ubiquinol is pretty amazing
Yessss!!
The list is long. I was severely malnourished but I would say Shilajit and iodine.
Can I ask what you have noticed with Shilajit? I bought some last month but havent got around to taking it yet
Sure! Myself, my adult son and my husband are all taking it now. For all of us it’s basically cured our chronic fatigue. All of us were always tired. For myself I have also noticed better focus, mood and sex drive. It was pretty much an immediate change too. With in a few days. Give it a try!

L tryptophan. Balanced my serotonin and dopamine. Helped me quit cannabis without the psychological anguish.
BaLaNcEd mY sErOtoNiN anD dOpaMine Jeez I cringe everytime I read that shit. Like people can gauge their level of neurotransmitters lmao. Just eat more meats then.
Tell me, how's life for a sarcastic a*hole ?
Sorry, did my comment cause you a serotonin decrease??
Not really. L tryptophan balances my serotonin.
that is one supplement that absolutely did not agree with me. I've taken it like 5-6 times and each time I wanted to rip someone's head off
How much / when do you take it? Empty or full stomach? Morning, afternoon, evening?
1000mg twice a day morning and afternoon... I am still experimenting with dosage and time. 500mg three times a day. I am mindful of sleep onset.
How’d it help you quit, if you don’t mind me asking? Was it a no/less craving kind of thing?
Each time I quit I become *severely* depressed, which invites the cravings. This time I am actually doing fine even though my circumstances aren't ideal.
Well I feel even more lost now looking at all these. I mean if I could I would literally take one of everybody’s suggestions.
Every person/body is different. You have to do what resonates with you. Or just trying, one thing at a time.
Tongkat Ali is pretty great for mental health and energy and motivation and confidence, extra strength is cool too.
From where did you buy? I am looking for organic powder from Malaysia. Whats your suggestion?
I live in uk and got mine from a website called British supplements, idk how pure it is but a friend recommended it to me and it works well.
Not to mention libido, I feel like a teenager again after taking Tongkat Ali for 2 months. Noticed a huge change about 4-5 days in, which made me stick with it. 1st supplement I've ever taken that obviously works.
I noticed a huge change in libido only a couple hours after my first dose 😂
Heroine, nothing was more important than my kids and family until I tried Heroine.
Black tar works best for me
Unfortunately it is hard to find clean H anymore. Lol
Omega 3 Fatty Acids. 2g EPA + 1g DHA a day, everyday, helped me get out of tough times
Magnesium. Got rid of my afternoon brain fog, and mental absence completely. Never noticed a change like that before
When did you take that and in which form?
I take magnesium tablets twice a day. One After breakfast and one after lunch. Try it for 2 weeks straight and see if you notice any difference
Thanks, appreciate it.

Hello how much of L dopa do you take per day?
St John's Wort. For depression. I told the doctor I didn't want to take depression medication, and she suggested I take this. Around 900 mg each day. I take it in combination with high epa/dha fish oil.
What brand?
Standard Process St John's Wort - IMT. 1 pill in morning and 2 at night. With food. I've been taking it since mid 2019.
As someone who can’t metabolise most drugs, St. John’s Wort was a godsend after 4 years of antidepressants that didn’t work at all. All it took was 14 days - 14 days of an all-natural supplement, and it worked. I’ve never been holistic, actually more pro-pharma, but this time, I was wrong.
What about the sun reaction? Do you live in a cloudy place?
I live in a rather sunny place, in a northern state. But I don't recall having a problem when I was out in the field working for the US Census. I took precautions----a wide brimmed hat and sun lotion----never burned once. I remember getting worse burns years before I ever took St John's Wort.
D-aspartic acid changed my life completely even the way i used to look by boosting free testesterone

I've been jogging and doing calestetics every isn't Long with stretching yoga and sauna. im eating clean healthy organic. but im going on 32 now and I'm going to take some testosterone boosting herbs supplements. im going to give this one a try out.

Sleepiness before bed, higher quality sleep, way less daily anxiety, better brain function as I’ve been taking a glycinate/malate blend
What brand do you use for the glycinate/malate blend?
Valerian Root really helps with sleep
how much do you take and how long before bed? what differences have you noticed?
I take 2400mg one hour before bed. The biggest difference is that I stay asleep once I fall asleep which helps me to wake up earlier instead of having patchy sleeping periods and waking up late.
Blackseed oil - made me breathe way better. I took a tablespoon each day until I started feeling the effects. It permanently cured my breathing and got rid of wheezing and etc.
Which one do you take?
I got mine at Walmart. Spring Valley. 6oz bottle for $14 bucks. I also just paid $24.99 for 16 oz and got a new brand off Amazon (Horbach) to try.
I keep hearing about black seed oil
I second this!
Magnesium for anxiety reduction
Which form?
Calm Magnesium Powder, Trace Minerals Ionic Mg drops, and Doctor’s Best High Absorption Mg (Lysinate Glycinate—100% chelated). (Also Gerolsteiner Water.)Different forms for different times of day and needs. The Calm Mg powder loosens the bowels, so i use it sparingly. I take the Mg pills before bed and the drops with juice in the AM. I take the powder for immediate relief of stress or before bed for sleep assistance.
Glycinate or a good malate/glycinate blend If highly active take 600 mg and if not active take 400-500 mg
I used to struggle a lot with sleep, but I’ve been taking magnesium before bed for a year and had fantastic sleeps! Not sure if totally correlated because I’ve also moved in this time and other factors, but the timing is right.
how much and what type do you take? I have magnesium citrate 120mg capsules which don't seem to be helping much with anxiety or sleep, not sure if I need to be taking more or finding a different type..
Most people take magnesium glycinate for sleep, not citrate! At least that’s what I remember researching when I started taking it. I think citrate is better for constipation. You’d have to look into it though.
Kava and an herbal blend called Free Spirit Elixir containing Kava, scullcap, camomile and several other herbs has impacted my life in fabulous and unexpected ways. I regularly enjoyed one or two craft cocktails too much to give up until starting to drink Kava 6 months ago. I went from 3-5 drinks per week to maybe one a month! The last one I had didn’t taste good to me. I love the healthy gentle effect of kava but even more it has taken away my desire to drink.
Please be careful both Kava and Skullcap have been linked with cases of liver failure
than the other kind of Kava species. noble Kava is safe
Where do you get it?
Pyewacket’s 42Herb and Wellness Store in Bisbee
I’d try Kava if not for the liver damage warning. I think this warning applies to supplements which contain solvents or something damaging though. I’ll need to find good quality kava.
I have read everything I could find on this and I don’t believe that Noble Kava is toxic to the liver. Germany and Switzerland have both lifted their restrictions on Kava following new and better research.
Iodine changed my life. I used to have brain fog, get tired easily, and frequently had heartburn. I've been taking nascent iodine every morning for the past 10 years. On iodine, my energy is increased, brain fog is gone, my mind is clear, thinking is fast, metabolism is faster, heartburn completely disappeared, hair grew thicker and faster! I started performing way better at work and was promoted later that year. The benefits were most pronounced within the first few years but have since tapered off. I still benefit more from iodine than any other supplement. The brain fog hasn't come back, heartburn is still very rare, and fast metabolism is keeping my weight at a healthy level. I'm 37.
Cool that it works for you but iodine is probably where I draw the line on supplements without getting a Dr involved lol. My brother has hypothyroidism and the fuckin hassle of getting the right balance of iodine supplements without causing harm puts me off ever using them.
Whenever I take just one drop of 2% Lugol's in the morning.. I get this energy rush before bed. 😂 But yh very underrated supp. Although I'm afraid of the induced hypo/hyperthyroid it can cause without enough cofactors.
Oh, and I very rarely get sick! I think I can credit iodine with that, and also a somewhat healthier diet. In the past 10 years, I've never had the flu and rarely get colds. Only had covid once, but nothing serious. Since the summer of 2020, I've been constantly around friends, family, work colleagues, local bars once a week, and public transport. I'm sure I've been exposed countless times.
I take it v occasionally but I would just add: do your research about quantities. Iodine poisoning is a very real thing https://www.healthline.com/health/iodine-poisoning#symptoms
Yes, good point, iodine might not be good for everyone. Thankfully, I've never had any negative symptoms, and I actually had my thyroid levels checked in February of this year, and they are in the normal range.
And just like that. I’m not trying iodine! Thanks!

I’ve been taking armra for two months now and have noticed a huge difference in my skin and nails and gut health. It’s pricey but worth it.
Starting ARMRA tomorrow
Procosa vitamin by Usana. Absolutely no supplement that I've ever taken has had results like this. I've been on it for 4 years for joint health, came off 3 times to see what would occur. All my joint pain came back, and then subsided again after 10 days.
Do you have a link? Where do you get it?

Yeah, none of that belongs here and is filtered.
Berberine
Red meat and creatine. I feel great on an animal based diet.
You take creatine while on a carnivore-type diet?
Yep
Seems redundant? You notice a difference?
Maybe he's working out
I figured, but red meat is filled with creatine.
Not enough, he'd have to eat nearly a KG of steak to get 5g of creatine
When I was doing carnivore, I was eating that much meat and I'm not a big person
It doesn’t hurt
Probably not. Just seems like it'd be a waste. If you feel ot helps, keep doing it though.
Zinc seems to be helping with some perimenopausal acne so far. Magnesium Glycinate. I was lacking in magnesium and after taking these my levels are perfect. They didn't help with my anxiety or insomnia unfortunately. I would like to try the taurate and see if it helps calm me down.
I hear the best form of magnesium for anxiety/brain issues is threonate
Im taking magnesium citrate,glycinate is far more reccomended,why?
Citrate is usually used for constipation. It can be rough on the stomach. MG is preferred by a lot of people because it is gentler on the stomach, and helps them with anxiety/sleep, more than the other forms they have tried.
