The irony with Dallas is that he also took like a coffee mug full of health supplements/pills every morning

Well clearly they were all fake & were what lead to his early demise

Is anyone going to supplement along the lines of what Dallas was taking ?
Can't see any reasons why Not .......😂🤣😆😂🤣😆

If I was wealthy there's a risk I would go overboard with 30 or 50 different products. Take antioxidants for example. I often take a combo of NAC, Vitamin C, Lipoic acid. This combo is very powerful, probably too effective to even take everyday, mostly on account of the NAC. Actually I've added CoQ10, Shilajit and melatonin and taurine in my nightly anti-ox stack lol. But then you start looking and you can easily take another 20 antioxidants, each looks, on paper, better than the other. That Astaxanthin looks good, all those fruit extracts, blueberry, cherry, quercetin and numerous others. At some point it will start working against you. Oh yeah, that injectable glutathione look nice as well lol Just NAC and/or Vitamin C will actually lower adaptation to a training routine. I take it at night, as far from a workout as possible, but it might still be counterproductive. It's impossible to know, for some it might help especially if they have a known/unknown health problem with high oxidative stress, for some it may be useless or even harmful.

Then you look at other classes of supplements. First you take a multivitamin/mineral, then you think you might need extra Vitamin D and Magnesium (there are a few forms that each look attractive). And on and on, the supplements start piling up. Would for me if I was wealthy, then you're taking 100 different things like some paranoid freak lol.

Can you elaborate about "working against you" for the quercetin and stuff?

Cool bud,thanks....that`s a laundry list for health.

It's for health and recovery. I need it more as I'm a couple of months from the big 5-0.

I divide it into three basic categories:

Testosterone support: DHEA, ALC, Tribulus, Tongkat Ali, Vitamin D.

Growth Hormone/nighttime recovery support: Arginine, Lysine, Glutamine, HMB

Insulin support/Cell volumization: ALA, chromium, Bitter Melon (not mentioned earlier), Glutamine, lots of simple sugar after workouts.

Thankfully, I have sources where I can get clearance or "expired" vitamins fairly cheap.

Bump for a couple of comments-

Low dose daily tadalifil at 5mg from an Indian pharmacy, and thank me later

Just picked up some. Other than the obvious whats to be gained from this?

I also picked up the Huberman sleep cocktail.  I ordered the brand that he endorses, double wood.

It's been really good. Very reliable sleep and Ive had chronic insomnia for over a decade. I've been getting a solid 7 hours every night since I started taking it.

My only criticism is the magnesium threonate is 4 pills for a serving.  Just being thrifty that will run through the bottle in about 3 1/2 weeks. So tried dosing with 2 pills and not surprisingly did not work at all. Then dosed with 3 pills and sleep improved a lot. But 4 pills or 2 grams of magnesium threonate is the sweet spot.

Aside from the middle school boners, better blood flow everywhere and lower blood pressure on the heart as well as increased androgen receptor density and a better pump in the gym

I’ve been using magnesium glycinate from Costco since it’s cheaper and absorbs well. I guess he recommends threonate or bisglycinate, but it seems to help me. It’s probably just the other pills doing the job

It's like turning your heart into a speed bag.

No reason to use it at all if you value your health.

So tried dosing with 2 pills and not surprisingly did not work at all. Then dosed with 3 pills and sleep improved a lot. But 4 pills or 2 grams of magnesium threonate is the sweet spot.

There's been a lot of discussion over the dosage, because I think Huberman mentioned 400mg of threonate, but people were unsure if he was referring to the threonate dosage (which would be 1 pill) or the elemental magnesium (which would take 3-4).

However, having utilized the threonate/l theanine / suntheanine with success, I eventually stopped because the incremental cost to benefit ratio didn't seem worth it.

I utilize a combo of zinc / glycine / magnesium glycinate / l-theanine ($17 for a YEAR'S supply at micro ingredients) and it feels about the same.  I think the l-theanine is the key here, & mag glyc is recommended for sleep.  I think the l-theanine is key, and I'm certain it affects dreaming.

I utilize a garmin that tracks sleep, and it tells me my deep/rem is always good, but I get dinged for duration.
