What supplements are you taking Veeky Forums? Daily, health related

I don't need to, I have a good diet adapted for my race and gender.

Why not having a good diet + supplements

>2 costco fish oils
>2 generic daily vitas
>2 aleves

Been thinking about createne and some B's.

>adapted for my race

what does this mean

Because I believe it's bad for you and also unnecessary. We have the best hygiene and healthcare there has ever been in history but we're sicker than ever.

You examine your genetic ancestry and geographical location, then construct a diet based on archeological, anthropological and biological principles.

Yeah its not bad for you.

Creatine is worth it

But Im not sure I wanna trade energy for water weight.

>Yeah its not bad for you.
Who told you that? I have a few guesses...

Centrum Multivitamin for Men
Omega 3 fish oil pill
Zinc

Citation needed please
Show me peer-reviewed scientific articles demonstrating how vitamins and minerals are quote "bad for you"

>Creatine is worth it

yeah ok buddy. enjoy going bald

he's saying that multivitamins are a sham and you should be getting most of your vitamins and minerals from food. spinach, kale, etc etc.

which is true to an extent. i do both just to be safe.

this tbqh senpai

>enjoy going bald

everyone in my family has a thick head of hair

Science are just jewish lies.

I speculate that your body does not know how to handle and digest, hyper-refined, granulated and capsuled nutrients, much like it freaks out when you eat refined sugars. Either way, though I can't prove it, I also choose to avoid doing so because it is once again, simpler to actually just eat right like we've been doing for all of human history, exempting the last 400 or so years.

Iodine (from Kelp)

Maca Extract

Ginger

Grape Seed Extract

Taurine

Niacin (Nicotinic Acid form)

Glutamine

Ashwaghanda

Calcium D-Glucarate

Emu Oil (topical)

Potassium Gluconate - temporary. food sources are ideal.

The only thing that I can think of is the poor absorption of oral vitamin/mineral pills, which doesn't make them "bad for you" but just "not as effective as people think".

Regardless this isn't any reason to NOT supplement, seeing as a lack of absorption doesn't mean NO absorption. And some people aren't really keen to eat 27 different unique foods to satisfy their genetic quota and can fulfil the same needs much easier with a few pills/powders.

>I speculate

Oh you're just baiting, opinion discarded.

ALL supplements should be BANNED and classified as drugs by the FDA

only doctors should be allowed to prescribe any of these so called "supplements"

I'm with John Oliver on this one.

These things are just too dangerous for the general population.

32mg of ephedrine and 600mg of caffeine twice a day (when I wake up and five hours later)
Morning with breakfast is L-arginine, selenium and vitamin D.
Morning about 90 minutes after breakfast is zinc and magnesium.

Multivitamins do more HARM than GOOD.

Reason is that they all have the most cheap forms of the nutrients in there.. eg folic acid for the folate. Proven carcinogen. Same with the most common form of chromium they have.

And tons of the nutrients compete for absorption anyway when taken together so the pill ends up becoming an expensive calcium pill.

>1 a day multivitamin + minerals
>1 drop 1000ui vit. D
>3 capsules omega 3-6-9
>fiber supplement (perfect poops 2x/day is godly)

Currently taking a daily probiotic. bought enough for a 2 month experiment but I haven't seen any difference. I think I got memed out of $13.99.

Also running an ECA stack. Word to the wise, if you get a cold consider stopping ephedrine dose. My sinuses got infected when I got a slight cold because my nose was super fucking clear 24/7. Didn't mind because hurt like a motherfucker to swallow so I lived off broth and whey for a few days. Also, humidifier, worth it.

Protein powder is food yet considered a supplement. It is not a drug, just like many other supplements out there

I get vitamin shots and intravenous vitamin drips.

step up your vitamin game.

>john oliver

>not using examine

I replaced all the red blood cells in my body with Vitamin infused cells.

>Multivitamin (Need to replace soon, so suggestions are alright)
>Omega-3 Fish Oil
>200mg Caffeine
>Yohimbine HCL

Yeah well some of us are happier eating shitty things. So, you know, if you're happy, congrats.

Anyway

Creatine, beta alanine. Multivitamin, vitamin D, fish oil, vitamin b12, fuckton of caffeine.

Little Big Multi-vitamin
Creatine
Fish Oil
Pre-workout

Thinking about using Yohimbine during my first cut in a month or so, thoughts so far?

Fluoxetine 10mg and Vitamin D3 4000 IU daily

Oh wait those aren't supplements. My doctor told me to take those and supplementing yourself is retarded as fuck.

U need to take it fasted, 3 to 4 hours prior and 2 to 4 hours after. And do low intensity cardio after dosing.

Insulin blocks its effects.

The requirements turned me off to it personally just because my schedule and my insomnia don't agree with it, but do as you see fit.

Taking prozac instead of working thru your depression by urself via eliminating environmental factors, destructive people, habits and negative world views is retarded tho

400mg of zinc a day
caffeine pills

Perhaps taking L Arginine because why not

I have countless fucked up health problems.

I currently only take Greens capsules.

Basically the only thing out of 100 supplements I've tried that helps with my anxiety and ocd.

lol wtf you stupid Doctor cuck
watch pharma thugs,

get off that stupid shit and start supplementing all of your amino acids.

come back to me to thank me when your "mental illness" is cured.

source: was diagnosed bipolar, depression, anxiety,

>not getting the joke

vit c
vit d
multivit (or just zinc and magnesium)
fish oil pills

used to take vit b for alcoholism lmao

Ok

IF YOUVE BEEN TOLD YOU HAVE

"MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES"

Simply supplement all of your Aminos.

Your problems will magically disappear.

Doctors prescribe pills for profit and the fact that mental "illness" has no strict diagnostic criteria (literally not real medical science)))) therefore they just attempt to thrown a blanket cure over it. see: highly toxic temporary symptom-masker

Nigga I did all that shit for 5 fucking years before starting prozac. Some people literally need antidepressants.

For alcoholism? How does it relate? Used to abuse alc like crazy but never heard of tgat

Recently got a blood test and was found high in b12 and told to stop supplementing, which is weird cuz you're supposed to piss that out. But i would sup almost 10,000x my "daily value" so

And also I've had my blood tested for 10 (TEN) different possible causes including amino acid deficiencies and they all came back healthy.

Antidepressants were never meant to be an alternative to actually working through bettering your life. They just make it possible if you're really far gone.

Chemical imbalances in the brain cant be fixed just like that Einstein. You dont know whats going on. Both of you fuck off

Lol fuck off i was diagnosed major dwpression, generalized anxiety, asperger syndrome, they even debated adhd and bipolar but the latter 2 were never official

Anyway calling it a chemical imbalance is a huge crutch, you have the power to.change yourself, you kinda just not have to WANT to be miserable. A lot of people do.

>major dwpression, generalized anxiety, asperger syndrome, they even debated adhd and bipolar
all fake bullshit

It's just a nice way of saying "you're a retarded faggot, get over yourself" that brings in more shekels.

"some people literally need antidepressants"

You're wrong dude, I know it's fucking hard and it is way harder to believe this, but you're wrong.

I had literal catatonic depression, bipolar II, an entire sheet of diagnoses.

I was in mental hospitals for months and months at a time, completely non-functional.

One day the thought crept into my mind (......meditation...........fitness..........like In all of those shows you used to watch.............let's try that before suicide.....)

So slowly, through extreme effort (pushing on by a do-or-die impending suicide promise to myself) I pushed myself to meditate, exercise, gain conscious control over my body and then my mind.

You CAN fix yourself.

Good for you. You were able to find the willpower to better yourself despite your crippling mental illness. Antidepressants are by no means a cure for depression. They merely get you a dose of minimal willpower so you can actually be able to go out and better your life. A chemical imbalance actually CAN completely cripple any willpower you have. You forget that some people with crippling depression would rather starve in bed than get out of it.

Of course, though, that taking antidepressants without doing anything else with the hopes that the pill is going to "make everything better" IS retarded, and unfortunately, this is how most people treat the pill.

It's not like I went for the pill first. I actually tried. I ate better. I got blood tests. I've been to therapy. I exercised. It didn't help. I still felt subpar no matter what I did. That's when it is time to try the pill.

fucking duh, did you even read what i was trying to convince this dude? get over your internal shit yourself, don't fall for psychiatry.

however, "getting over yourself" is not the answer. absolutely become obsessed with yourself. and stop wanting to be the kind of person who is miserable. want to be a powerful motherfucker.

The brain is so unbelievably complex, it surely isnt hard to understand different things work for different people. A small dosage of an SSRI and consultations with a proficient psychologist got me through severe anxiety and depression.

sorry dude I don't know a thing about what's happening in this thread, but use greentext not fucking quotes you loser.

hm, what did it for me is finding that thing that made it "click." it was music. i love to sing. the song my (now) bandmate gave to me to record for made me feel, and so much, that i just broke out of the bullshit.

i believe that there is something out there for everyone that carries the benefits of psychiatric medication, but without the price and potential side-effects.

you have to find something that you love. something you can do. something that makes you feel after feeling nothing except a downward spiral into oblivion for all of your life.

i agree, but it's interesting... i've had more success being my own therapist than i have in traditional therapy. and i'm talking since age 10 when my parents first threw me into a shrink's chair... it was just never for me.

>Simply supplement all of your Aminos.
great
I enjoy making my symptoms worse

lol, supplementing what you lack won't make your deficiency symptoms worse

it is 2016, pham. we can actually take pills in place of eating good food now. and yes, supplements do work. you just have to take an upwards of like 500% of your DV of everything, which is very easy to come by.

His entire diet is 100% cock.

My health problems won't be fixed by amino acids alone.

Also I'm doing a fecal transplant next week, OP from the other thread here and I'm talk talk to me here.

tinychat DOT com SLASH fmtguy

Alcohol reduces the bodies ability to absorb key b vitamins like thiamine.

OK, all i'm saying is that supplements work. your health issue is your own, so do what you need.

They're not going to be fixed by shoving poo in your ass either you retard

yes it will

learn to science

poop is filled with tens of thousands of bacteria helpful in the human microbiome

Different user here.

You the guy with the serious gut problems who was considering radical surgery?

If so I am glad you are trying the fecal transplant, I was the guy who suggested it.

dude, why would somebody be doing this of their own accord without doctor's orders?

not that guy but please come to the tinychat I linked

1 Adam multivitamin
15mg of zinc
250 l arginine
1 fish oil

>my sex drive has increased, my dick got bigger and I'm more aggressive

You can take up to 30mg of zinc without negatives, also, 1 fish oil? You can take 3000mg for more optimum effects. Want sources?

B, D, E, dha, ubiquinol, zinc, folic acid, flax seeds

Folic acid, are you trying to conceive or something

dont take flax seed if you want to boost your test, its an even worse estrogen thing than soy

Bjelakovic G, Nikolova D, Gluud LL, Simonetti RG, Gluud C. Antioxidant supplements for prevention of mortality in healthy participants and patients with various diseases. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2012, Issue 3. Art. No.: CD007176. DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD007176.pub2.

"We found no evidence to support antioxidant supplements for primary or secondary prevention. Beta-carotene and vitamin E seem to increase mortality, and so may higher doses of vitamin A. Antioxidant supplements need to be considered as medicinal products and should undergo sufficient evaluation before marketing."

>Some people literally need antidepressants.
complete rubbish.

fuck modern times is such a mess

it seems my post got lost

3x 1500mg fish oils but ill down it to 2 a day

1 "hair skin and nails" mix that has:
2.6mg biotin ( ???)
60mg Calcium ascorbate
5mg equiv iron
40mg equiv silicon ( ???)
25mg equiv zinc

desu it was the biggest zinc i could find. and has done pretty well with my fingernails, they're much tougher now.

Ah, yes, the one corporate funded "study" vs the countless actual studies done by real science proving the efficacy of vitamins and anti-oxidants.

You're a retard.

Do you actually know what the Cochrane library is? Maybe look it up before you go ranting on your anti-vaccine big-pharma mummies forum

...

>anti-vaccine big-pharma mummies forum
Ah the typical butthurt strawman from the increasingly irrelevant libtard "sketpic".

Nobody cares, science disagrees with you.

One terrible "study" doesn't refute the countless others that have been made which oppose it.

Kill yourself, seriously.

The one which i use that work for me
>melatonin
>whey
>creatine
>caffeine
>l-theanine (spent all of it but it works great for anxiety which I didnt even know I had until i started taking it. Made me much more sociable. Sometimes when I take it I get the urge to talk to strangers in lines when waiting for something etc which never happens when I dont take it)

One which i tried but didnt make any difference
>meme oil
>zinc
>memesium

Experimenting with
>taurine
>b complex

Cant say they work or they dont. I got a lot more boners since I started using them but thats about it

Gonna try 5htp soon

Good taste in vidya tbqh

the things that dont work on you may be because you eat enough food where you already get those things from. If you change your diet, you may have to return to these things.

That isn't a single 'study', it's a meta-analysis of the available literature. That's what Cochrane does, they are basically the gold standard of meta-analytic reviews.

Maybe read it before just dismissing it because it doesn't line up with your opinion. Have you linked studies so far?
