What supplements do you take if any?

[ProudVirgin69]

Magnesium, helps me fall asleep at night
Vitamin D in the winter months
Finasteride, keeps my coat shiny and full 

[ProudVirgin69]

My cocktail 10mg indica capsule and one CBN capsule.

I stopped consuming cannabis and I feel better generally but I miss the dreamless sleep I’d get.  My dreams have been insanely vivid and wake me up 1-2x a night.  Theoretically I’m getting more restful sleep since weed interferes with REM sleep cycles (hence the lack of dreams) but it’s enough to make me wanna start back up

I’ll give it another month or two to see if things calm down but if not I might have to start back up

 No supplements just whole food

Man Yohimbe makes me feel like shit. Just anxiety in a pill. Cold sweats.

They use it in studies to induce anxiety.

Very special case supplement, only useful if one is already at 10% body fat and wants to go lower.

I see people talking about Ashgwanda and lions mane all the time....

Whenever I see some new natural supplement I equate it to Tribulus.

What are these supposed to help with?

Ive seen them in natural test boosters , Ive also seen them used for anxiety / stress relief?

I took some supplement about 3 or 4 years ago that had these in it and felt nothing. If I remember it was supposed to be a test booster with some kind of pre workout effect...had kanna or canna in it too......I  didn't notice a thing.

My mistake! 

I use this stuff from Doctor’s Best, been using it for years.  Dunno if it’s the optimal formulation but it seems to work (help me fall asleep at night or for naps) and my bowel movements stay firm so I assume it’s not all getting pooped out.  Reasonable price, as well.

Ah yes, glycinate...perfect.

When I first heard of magnesium for sleep, I bought some.  Never knew there were different ones.  Took me two months to connect the dots on why I started shitting liquid every morning.  Was taking mag citrate, a laxative.

Weird for me not to dream but idc.

Mention of Tribulus causes Taffin to do his broken record thing - apologies to all

They do have effects. Lately some have claimed they are potentially dangerous and life changing (negatively). It used to be that these were thought of as completely benign and would do nothing. Studies have confirmed a number of effects for these supps.

The supplement industry is so dirty you can't know if your supplement is legit, that's the big problem with these and all supps. The two most known ashwagandha brands are patented Sensoril and KSM-66 extract. Users report different effects for these two and it's very possible depending on what constituents they are standardised for. But then you have some chemist on Reddit saying the Sensoril isn't what it's claimed to be, he didn't even see any plant DNA in the samples. So as a consumer you are confused.

I have used ashwagandha sometimes over a 20 year period. I might try the newest "Shoden" extract.

Many or most traditional supplements and plant "drugs"  have similar effects to what which they traditionally have been used for. I think it's amazing that people have managed to find these "cures" before any "science."

tried to decipher what you wrote i guess in a nutshell these get on the shelves sometimes under the radar and are suppossed to do one thing but could cause potential effects not what was originally intended to do..its tricky .

Big LOL

It is tasty in a weird medicine-y kinda way.  Great for constipation too, as you discovered

Well these herbs weren't "under the radar" because they are completely legal as they are "food" really and legal. But what has happened is that a few guys have reported severe sides like extreme depression and permanent impotence, sometimes from the first pill! It's almost impossible to know if these symptons were due to the supps but you never know. So these guys are like "why was I not warned, now my life is ruined!" They weren't warned because probably no one heard of such reactions.
One negative that has sort of spread through the net and many started "noticing" is a kind of demotivational effect with ashwagandha and bacopa for example. Is this reaction "real" or is it imaginary?

Like I've always said, there's really no difference between a "supplement" and a drug. Creatine can be a drug but it's also a natural supplement.

I'd like to try this creatine drug. Probably doesn't work any better than monohydrate though.
