Does /pol take any supplements? Are they useful? Or just placebo shill bullshit?
A few different things. Most fall into the category of being an inexpensive safety net or preventative.
>>69226746
Placebo and bullshit.
Just vitamin D, multi and ZMA.
Haven't really noticed a damn difference.
multivitamins are shit and a waste of money, vitamin D is pretty good
>>69226746
You would end up urinate them all. Why do you even need them? Just drinking orange juice would be far better for your health

omega 3 and bacopa for calming

Vitamin B and C. Lysine when I am feeling rundown. I drink 2-3 tsps of physillum seeds a day for fiber with a tsp of unfiltered apple cider vinegar.
>>69226746
I'm on the Beyond Tangy Tangerine and the Pollen Burst that Dr. Alex Jones recommends.
anabolic steroids. come at me bro!
Most off the shelf supplements are pure garbage, the dosages are too low for it to have any medicinal effect and the excipients cause the vitamins to be poorly absorbed.
You can definately treat disease with supplements but just taking some random multivitamin will do absolutely nothing, it could even harm you.
>>69227097
This is a common misconception. If we're talking about vitamin C for example, it's true that the more you take of it the more you will pee out. But there is no hard limit.
If you take 1000mg, maybe you'll pee out 20% meaning you keep 800mg. If you take 2000mg maybe you'll pee out 30% meaning you keep 1400mg etc.
I take iodine and vitamin d because hypothyroidism is endemic where I live and fuck the sun.
>>69226984
Zma at night is awesome, I wake up feeling a lot more rested on less sleep. Been taking it for a couple years

Only my daily red pills dosage
I take a ton of supplements. Ive tried them all and only take what works. Much better quality of life since i found them. Take fish oil, coq10, saw palmetto, milk thistle, vitamin d and kratom. For general well being. I throw in things that help amd affect the liver when I go into /fit/ mode.
I take D3, B, some amino acids, and zinc
Oh and any supplement you can get from produce, make sure to eat alot of the produce. Like vitamin C, I juice lemons everyday to take with kratom. I forgot to mention throw in magnesium and zinc for better test and rest. Malnourishment is a huge problem for people who are depressed and out of shape. Supps work way better than what doctors dish out.
>>69229445

I eat nothing but garbage so I take a multivitamin so I don't get scurvy or some other disease that wouldn't be an issue if my diet was even in the same zip code as the word balanced.

Zinc for testosterone production and b12 for energy in the mornings. Keep it simple, everything else is gonna be pissed away and make you sick or waste money. These have tangible effects, especially b12 considering you can feel it immediately with a good cup of coffee.
>>69227097
Fruit juice is actually pretty bad for you.

Only thing I know works that is not pharm grade whether black market or not. is all that NO pre workout shit as it's caffeine sugar and caffeine it leads to more intense work outs.

I would add that most multivitamins are pure garbage. If you care to read the cconents, you'll find out they contain most elements in cheapest forms, like magnesium oxide, which are almost entirely useless. They also contain stuff like iron, which you don't want to supplement at all.
In other words, Centrum and such are worse than useless.
>there are people in this thread living in countries that get enough sunlight that you don't need to take extra vitamin D
YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP
placebo bullshit and a scam.
if you actually buy supplements kill yourself. they're only needed for sick people.

What kind of stupid question is that?
Oh wait it's an Aus-, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
If you're seriously lacking essential vitamins/minerals you'll notice them, if not most of these are just placebos being in that most are water soluble.
Just get a decent diet if not you should consider it and exercise goes a long way too.
>>69228225
There is limit of ascorbic acid you can take in and it would lead to diarreah because duodenum and small intestine cannot absorb them all and the sudden increase of the concentration of some molecules can lead to temporary shock ad stress

Supplements work. Skeptical edgelords like to cite flawed studies reported by MSM to feel superior while their bodies rot
all of these
http://perfecthealthdiet.com/recommended-supplements/
read the book. The Perfect Health Diet is full of citations and medical proof of the benefits of SOME supplements.
Multi-vitamins contain toxic shit. Vitamin A is a good example, should never be supplemented. Multi-vitamins fail to improve your health because of the bad vitamins / wrong ratios / wrong forms of vitamins
Also:
> energy
theanine + caffeine
> anti-cancer + weight loss + cholesterol + blood sugar control
gelatin
curcumin + black pepper
raw ginger
ceylon cinnamon

raw garlic if you can handle it

It is laughable to suggest you would ever need to take in iodine supplements, especially if you are in Western Europe. Potato chips have plenty of them. For Vitamin D, you need to expose yourseld to sunlight for a hour per day and that is mostly good enoug&.
>>69235602
melatonin is some good stuff, puts me to sleep within 30minutes

10,000 mcg of B12 daily. It's the active ingredient in energy drinks without all the additional bullshit.

I dont see many kids getting their thyroid glands swollen due to hypothyroidism. The recommended daily intake is rigged by pharmaceutical companies who want to sell their vitamin supplements.
>>69236046
They add iodine to the table salts in Sweden so we don't have to worry about that.
>>69226746
beneficial if you get good ones
For example, If I do some activities that leave my muscles sore the next day, taking magnesium tablets can drastically remove the soreness within a few hours due to the magnesium allowing better absorption of nutrients to replenish what the muscles lost
multivitamins can help tremendously, but most people dont notice the benefits until after they stop taking them and could have benefited from their use then but just end up forgetting

Your muscle soreness is more related to anaerobic respiration which creat lactic acid, more specifcally fermentation. I dont quite understand how mg2+ would reduce such sensation.

Popping joints is natural and does nothing to harm your joints.
It's literally trapped air escaping.

melatonin, valerian root, saint john wort, all those are good

Currently:
Whatever the fuck is in those brain pills Dr. Alex Jones convinced me to swallow and the knockout pills to help me sleep (bad shoulder makes it hard to fall asleep) I can't feel the difference from the brain pills, but they're vitamin b rich, so hopefully that does something.
The knockout pills are extremely effective and work on me for about 8-9 hours
>>69226746
Vitamin D in the winter because no sun, zinc helps with your testosterone.
>>69237483
These brain pills:
>>69232335
>>69226746
I take a multivitamin+mineral tablet and cod liver oil each day (most days now, some days I forget or if I start drinking early I don't bother)
The cod liver is handy for me because I don't get any sun and it has a lot of vitamin D. It also seems to be really good for hair, my hair used to be shitty and would stick up like chink hair when I came out of the shower or when I sweat, now it's beautiful and silky, easy to manage and the colour is a lot more shiny.
So I'd say cod liver is definitely a benefit at least for me. The multivitamins I've heard hearsay that they don't really help but I'll take them anyway.
>>69237483
One more thing:
Those info wars knockout pills give me intensely vivid dreams--mostly nightmares
Anyone else take them?
16-18 grams of inositol, krill oil, vitamin d, ashwagandha, and noopept on and off
omega 3 pills with vitamin d becasue lack of sun in norway. my physician once told me that those two supplements were the only useful ones in a day-to-day basis if you already had a healthy diet.
In the US supplements are not regulated. You really don't have a clue what the fuck you're taking. What it says on the label is not necessarily true.
In the EU they are somewhat regulated. I don't know about elsewhere.
Anyway if you have a decent diet and don't have any medical conditions you don't need supplements.

Comrade,
I salute you. Your choices are focused on preventing prevalent deficiencies and not on granting you superpowers.
Vitamin D will not cure your sunlight deficiency. It will just prevent its effects on your immune system. Your skin still needs sun. You, in order to reduce stress/depression and operate on higher energy level, need sun.
Drink 8 glasses of pure water a day. Squeeze a lemon in each one of them. Optionally, have your wife maintain a pitcher of lemonwater (with mint leaves etc, nothing sweet) in your fridge.
Now go make Aryan children.
>>69226746
I take fish oil. Apparently it stopped a minor facial twitch I suffered on occasion. Asked some health nut, and that's what he recommended. From about day 3 on, it hasn't been an issue.
Wife made me start taking a daily multi vitamin because my balance was getting wonky. I do notice that my balance and coordination is a little bit better.
I also take a melatonin once per day. 10mg knocks me out about half an hour after taking it, so long as I steer clear from electronics.

Depends on how you live. If you lift a lot, you'll notice improvement in your quality of health.
I take:
>Multi-vitamin
>Fiber capsule
>Probiotic capsule
>Saw Palmetto
When I started I noticed a huge decrease in recovery time for illnesses and after hard days lifting and more energy in my daily life. Remember a lot of things that happen in your body aren't necessarily things you notice either.
