Yeah, 200mg a day
yes but it's mainly for teeth clenching and jaw aching issues when I sleep/am on ecstasy
>>35989061
Yep, magnesium calcium zinc pills are key.
Also spray this in your armpit and on your muscles after a workout and you get out of the shower.
If it itches it means you have a magnesium deficiency.
200mg on lifting days. Currently liftan 4 times a week.
>>35989114
I take a zinc supplement but what do you mean?
>>35989114
>>35989129
>>35989174
how did you guys know you were deficient with those minerals ?
Do you randomly walk up up the vitamin section of a drugstore and buy random crap just like ?
>b-but I read it on /fit/ !
>>35989388
It's called a blood test.
>>35989090
The doctor will likely be in bed with some pharm company & prescribe that instead. Just make sure it's something good that has street value. Also ask for boner pills for funzies.
>>35989061
Yes. I take Now brand. Spring Valley is sketchy.
labdoor.com
>>35989388
you can easily see your daily intake if you just write it down. zinc and magnesium are listed on food.
>>35989664
Garlic to keep the vampires away. Very smart.
>>35989678
helps block estrogen.
>>35989664
This is why I don't supplement anything.
I'm afraid once I get into the mindset of "oh getting more of this micro is probably good", I'll end up swallowing more pills a day than my grandma, and she's 99.
>>35989734
I only take what I know I dont get enough of from my food intake.
>>35989061
>>35989061
no, because i eat a balanced diet like a non-fat piece of shit you fucking retard
>>35989664
stop taking all this shit for a whole month just to see how you'll feel
>protip: you'll feel no changes
>>35989760
false.
>>35989742
And how do you know how much you need?
Protip: The FDA recommendations aren't worth jack shit.
>>35989760
You are aware that Zinc and Garlic inhibit estrogen right? you are aware Magnesium is important right? You do know fish oil is anti inflammatory right? whats so fucking bad about taking them?
>>35989742
Have you considered researching what foods contain the micros you need, and eating more of those?
Real food >>>>>>>> Pills every time
>>35989772
>>35989783
have you tried eating properly?
>>35989061
Rectally for increased absorbtion
>>35989776
what evidence do you have to show FDA recommendations are not valid? I wont be expecting a response from you.
>>35989792
my diet is really great. Infact people roll their eyes at me usually. my diet is 90% organic. They cant fathom at church that I skip tacos to go home and eat Organic Oat Flakes in Almond milk.
>>35989805
regular almond milk or activiated almond milk
Here is the post that will end the thread, it always does, no one ever responds after this.
If you dont take supplements, no BCAA, no Pre-work out then post a picture of yourself.
>>35989783
You are aware that Magnesium makes up 5% of Chlorophyllium, so every single green veggie you eat contains it, right?
Fish oil is in fish.
Zinc is in beef.
Garlic, well I'll let you figure that out on your own.
>>35989830
I dont eat Beef, I dont eat Fish, I dont eat Garlic. I do eat Spinach tho.
>>35989848
you are a fucking retard then
>>35989664
>preworkout
>>35989850
LOL. So are vegetarians retard?
>>35989887
yes
>>35989887
>>35989890
do you eat dairy products such as whey ?
>>35989848
Eat garlic, don't be low test.
It helps with test and inflamations.
does creatine actually do anything?
how much do i use?
>>35989794
Not that guy but it stands to reason that different bodies with different metabolisms, weights, heights and balances will need different amounts of nutrients.
I make no claims that this is valid, just injecting a little reasonable doubt.
>>35989061
Yep, along with Zinc.
>tfw erections on 80mg of zinc and 200mg of magnesium a day
3 Fish oil pills + Multivitamin in the morning
Magnesium + Zinc + Calcium before bed
>>35989664
Magnesium citrate is shit. Get another form of magnesium. And you are probably vitamin D deficient. 99% of the population of Brazil (a tropical country) is deficient in vitamin D. Most of the population in the U.S. is deficient in it too. Don't forget that vitamin D is important for magnesium metabolism.

so we need way more then FDA recommends.
>>35993244
no i get enough.
Don't think I need it. I eat a lot of bananas already
Honestly the only supps that I have noticed to have a real effect with zimc and fish oil. Like after taking taking I get boners all the fucking time and my skin clears up. Some memer can post on 4chan all he likes but I'm tried cutting it out and the effects disappear so I will keep taking it
Used to have bad allergies every week and had to take antihistamines constantly, started supplementing with an omega3 + D3 combo and K2 and i haven't had an allergy in 3 months.
I take magnesium because I'm diabetic. We lose magnesium and other nutrients through high blood sugar and ketosis all the time.
I also eat a lot of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, spinach etc to keep it up.
I also take vitamin D during the winter since we only get a few hours daylight here at the equinox.
I agree that the majority of people on /fit/ buy supplements for no reason other than memes they read on the internet rather than just trying to fix their diet. It blows my mind sometimes.
>>35989805
>my diet is really great
>my diet is 90% organic
Large numbers of studies have shown that organic foods offer LESS nutrients and minerals than standard produce
Sounds like you like spending more money because you think something is better for you, which would also explain the supplements you're taking instead of just having a good diet
Money can't fix stupidity
Nope. Gives me the shit's when mixed with my heart meds.
>>35989061
I'm not experiencing anything that will come from magnesium deficit so, no.
Magnesium and Zinc supplements are valuable if you train a lot. Like on a PPL six day split or something. You need to replace those minerals because you're using them up faster than you gain them by just eating normal food.
>>35995965
This. Organic is a marketing tool, and nothing more.
