I’m looking to eat more in combination with strength training to gain some weight, however I can’t seem to stomach the 2700 calories per day I need. Is there any supplements I can take to help with this? (I already smoke marijuana super heavily, so this couldn’t be a solution for me)

I was comparing a magnesium product and a curcumin product, both in 90-capsule bottles. The magnesium listed two capsules per serving; the curcumin listed three. That’s 45 servings in one bottle and 30 in the other.

Serving size looks like a small detail next to an interesting ingredient list. But that number tells you how much someone has to swallow, over and over.

Taking fewer capsules changes the deal, too. The ingredient amounts on the label are for the full serving. Liking those amounts and wanting to swallow that many capsules are two separate decisions.

Capsule count deserves as much attention as the ingredient list, in my view. It can be a reason to pass on a formula even when there’s nothing in the ingredients you object to.

Has capsule count ever made you give up on a supplement you otherwise liked? What was the point where it became too much?

Im a young person fairly new to the world of supplements so im just curious to what everyone takes. I only take magnesium glycinate sometimes and psylium husk / metamucil if that counts.

Not all collagen sources are the same. Bovine collagen is generally associated with types I and III, while chicken collagen is known for type II. Fish collagen is another option, and eggshell membrane has its own mix of components.

For transparency, we're working with Ancient Nutrition on this post. Their Multi Collagen Protein combines bovine, chicken, fish, and fermented eggshell membrane collagen.

When comparing collagen supplements, what matters most to you: the source, the collagen types, or the overall formula?

Which is more effective in your experience?

I have been blitzed lately with advertisements for the Goli gummies. Their 3-pack targets different areas of nutrition and gut health. Of course they market these to help with things like bloating, cravings, slimming down etc. has anyone personally used these, and what were your results/takeaways. Thanks!

I’m wanting to try it bc I heard it can help with ocd, I’m also bipolar. So I’m kind of afraid to try it.

- Waking up feeling extra disoriented ( I have to get up and remind myself who I am and where I am )
\- My name and memories hold no meaning to me
\- I feel blank in my body, and in my mind
\- Logically I know who I am and where I am, but nothing feels how it used to so I feel like I’m in a different dimension
\- My surroundings feel unfamiliar
\- Disconnected from family and friends
\- Felling like I’m watching myself from another room
\- Feels like I’m dreaming with my eyes open
\- Not remembering what “normal” felt like, because I wake up everyday and am disoriented from morning to night
\- Constant head pain
\- Constant head pressure
\- Jaw pain
\- My hearing goes in and out
\- My DPDR worsens when my head moves positions, and when I stand up and walk around
\- Ears constantly feel clogged
\- Almost like a tunnel vision issue ( my eyes can only focus on what I’m looking at, and then my surroundings blur out, almost like they don’t exist if I’m not directly looking at it )
\- Brain fog
\- Feeling like I’m not the one controlling my body
\- Living everyday extremely disconnected and on autopilot
\- Memory gaps ( an example is when I’m making dinner, I will make the entire meal, and then for a split second snap out of it and be confused on how I made the meal )
\- Head feels like it’s made of cotton
\- Only remembering what DPDR feels like, and not my past
\- Waking up exhausted, regardless of how much sleep I get
\- Emotionless/depressed
\- No motivation
- Eye floaters
- Light sensitivity, especially natural light
- I’m a stranger to my life and my surroundings

I take a midnight flight, land in the late afternoon at my destination and then next morning at 6:30 begin a 3-day 50 mile hike. Looking for suggestions on how to be my best.

I’m adding the B complex but I don’t want to OD lol.. chat GBT said to be cautious.. thoughts? Maybe take a break on the multi vitamin and just to the probiotic and Bcomplex?

Thanks

I started taking bulk supplements citrulline malate and see that 8 pills are 2000mg citrulline and 1000 malate for the daily dosage.Im reading a lot, I should be around 6000mg (6g) per day. Seams like the Bulk Supplements daily dosage of 8 pills is low. What's yalls thoughts on this?

Im 180# male 54yr old. Workout 4-5 days a week. I currently am taking the citrullinemalate, 500 mg ashwagandha and creatine about 30 min or more before my morning workout. Im thinking of taking 1-2 g of fenegreek and 2g of citrulline non malate late afternoon around 3-4.

Hello

Is there a guide how can I mix vitamin c with dmso ?

I've always been curious about Ltheanine for sleep.

(I should add that I use a CPAP machine)

I have been getting the best sleep ever, and that includes taking prescribed meds, and benzos. Who knew?

100 mg of Ltheanine and 1/3rd mg of melatonin 😴

Here is my situation: I basically have no money to eat properly in this month. I’ll be able to and prepare and ration a small amount of rice and 1 chicken breast for each day, untill i get my pay but that’s it. That’s about 25 days. I don’t know if that counts as starving.

I just remembered that I bought these multivitamine pills back a while ago.
It supposedly contains;

Vitamin A 1,600 µg (200%)
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) 2.2 mg (200%)
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) 2.8 mg (200%)
Vitamin B3 (niacin) 32 mg (200%)
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) 12 mg (200%)
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) 2.8 mg (200%)
Vitamin B12 5 µg (200%)
Folic acid (B9) 400 µg (200%)
Biotin (B7) 100 µg (200%)
Vitamin C 160 mg (200%)
Vitamin D3 10 µg (400 IU) (200%)
Vitamin E 24 mg (200%)
Vitamin K1 150 µg (200%)
Calcium 200 mg (25%)
Phosphorus 155 mg (22.1%)
Magnesium 100 mg (26.7%)
Iron 7 mg (50%)
Zinc 15 mg (150%)
Copper 1 mg (100%)
Manganese 2 mg (100%)
Selenium 55 µg (100%)
Chromium 40 µg (100%)
Iodine 100 µg (66.7%)

I guess 25 days is not much but I’m just kind of worried about damaging my body. Do you think these nutrients will prevent that?

Does anybody else’s marine collagen smell super fishy? I didn’t expect it to smell this bad esp since the bovine one was practically odourless

Wondering if anybody has tried nutrapure supplements ? Hope I didn't get scammed

I've never been a big fan of sardines, but mackerel is fairly inexpensive where I live, and it's so much better. I was surprised to find out that the Omega 3 content of mackerel is even higher than sardine. If you eat 100 grams of it, which is not a high amount, you are pretty much getting the same amount that many supplements. And it's not like you are spending extra money on it, we all need to eat food anyway. I've been eating fish at least 5 times weekly.

I just bought a bottle off Saffron extract capsules which says it is 3:1, having 88.5mg equivalent to 265.5mg of Saffron. The brand is SM Nutrition. I never see dosages as high as 265.5mg mentioned anywhere but dosages around the range of 88.5mg are mentioned all the time, so I'm not sure how much to take. When people mention dosages here do they refer to a 3:1 extract? Or not? Is a dose equivalent to 265.5mg of saffron really high?

Did one or the other work better for you?

Can they be taken together or not?

I’m on several prescriptions for anxiety and depression but still suffering debilitating anxiety while my depression mostly contained.

Gets the stack moving. Does not give me gas like others.

My heart meds give me severe constipation that resulted in a bleeding anal fissure from the edge of hell. This is what helped me return to normal bowel movements and heal.

u/Suspicious-Mention91 this is what works for me for constipation.

I have to take this TWICE per day. Not with a meal but with a snack is ok.

What would it be called ?

It could be sponsored by supplment companies like Micro Encapsulations , health food markets like sprouts , wholefoods. thrive , erwhon etc , promoted by dr Rhonda patrick , hubberman , stanfield , etc

Hinge and bumble should have this as a filter option.

Idk whatta u think ?
