>>36915787
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.
>>36915787
>adapted for my race
what does this mean
>>36915807
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.
>>36915831
You examine your genetic ancestry and geographical location, then construct a diet based on archeological, anthropological and biological principles.
>>36915853
Yeah its not bad for you.
>>36915818
Creatine is worth it
>>36915873
But Im not sure I wanna trade energy for water weight.
>>36915873
>Yeah its not bad for you.
Who told you that? I have a few guesses...

yeah ok buddy. enjoy going bald
>>36915930
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.

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.
>>36915940
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.
>>36915967
>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.
>>36915139
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.
>>36916002
Protein powder is food yet considered a supplement. It is not a drug, just like many other supplements out there

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.
>>36916267
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.
>>36916270
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.
>>36916270
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,
>>36916122
>>36916098
>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
>>36916329
>>36916336
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
>>36916304
>>36916336
Nigga I did all that shit for 5 fucking years before starting prozac. Some people literally need antidepressants.
>>36916362
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
>>36916373
And also I've had my blood tested for 10 (TEN) different possible causes including amino acid deficiencies and they all came back healthy.
>>36916304
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.
>>36916304
Chemical imbalances in the brain cant be fixed just like that Einstein. You dont know whats going on. Both of you fuck off
>>36916433
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.
>>36916456
>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.
>>36916373
"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.
>>36916456
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.
>>36916487
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.
>>36916488
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.
>>36916488
sorry dude I don't know a thing about what's happening in this thread, but use greentext not fucking quotes you loser.
>>36916523
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.
>>36916848
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.
>>36916369
>Simply supplement all of your Aminos.
great
I enjoy making my symptoms worse
>>36916897
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.
>>36915831
His entire diet is 100% cock.
>>36916918
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.

Alcohol reduces the bodies ability to absorb key b vitamins like thiamine.
>>36916958
OK, all i'm saying is that supplements work. your health issue is your own, so do what you need.
>>36916958
They're not going to be fixed by shoving poo in your ass either you retard

"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."

>>36918581
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.
>>36918551
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?

holy shit I just realized I am on a whole other level than you plebs
>>36918599

>>36918652
You clearly don't as you are arguing that supplements have negative affects on the human body.
>>36917711
Depends. Different forms of zinc have different levels of bioavailability and yield different levels of elemental zinc. But I can't see anyone taking 400mg of some fucked form of zinc without puking everywhere.
Why don't they make a pill with all the nutrients you need
>>36915867
Based on your ancestry diet i should be eating sand rats, snakes, owls and tortoises
>>36921166
Because different people need different things. Some people also eat differently, which means they need different extra supplements. Some sport differently and need others still.
Some minerals also cant be taken at the same time because of boring chemical systems that have a limit on how much they can take at the same time.
Most people who eat varied also dont need supplements as food provides them with all.

might try noopept and adrafinil soon too.
