What daily supplements do use recommend.

[Switcha2011]

What daily supplements do you guys use?

At the moment I'm taking orange triad +greens, creatine, whey protein. I've read that most supplements are a waste of money and hardly make any difference so I have tried to keep it to the basics but cover most by using orange triad +greens.

What would you guys say is the most important and dosage when it comes to supplements?

 

[Juicygymbroah]

For cycle and organ support I use -
Citrus bergamot 2g
Omegas 4g
Red krill oil with astaxanthin 4g
NAC 1.2g
TUDCA 1.2g
Glutamine 20g
Psyllium husk 10g

When carbs get high I use 500mg of metformin.
and 40g of telmisartan when on cycle

Supplements are not only more important than ever, but they are essential to survival. Nearly all food grown and produced nowadays has too little nutrients. Our nutrition requirements are much higher than ever because of the amount of toxins we have to detox on a daily basis.

For anyone wanting to keep it simple, a good multivitamin can help you meet the bare minimum that you need. It's a must have.

I copied my answer from another thread. With some changes.

This is what I try to take consistently. It doesn't always happen. I take a lot of supplements but I've been fine tuning this list for a long time, and this is what my body does well with. I also take more things. I like to experiment.

I have big vitamin organizers and I make my daily doses for like a month at a time, or longer.

These are minimum doses, and often times I go higher. I also buy powders and make my own capsules to avoid unnecessary fillers that often come in ready filled capsules.

These supplements are expensive, but it's investing in yourself, so it's worth it. You have to watch out for sales, and buy in bulk.

Brands I like:

You always have to read the labels, and see if and what fillers are used. Sometimes those fillers are needed and sometimes they're not.

Life Extension (I take their Multivitamins. I use the Mix Capsules which is 12 capsules a day. I also take their Two Per day multi when I can't take 12 capsules. I use many of their products, and I trust this brand).
Now Foods, Natural Factors (they make the best Liposomal Quercetin and also good and best priced CoQ10 Ubiquinol), Source Naturals, some Swanson products (like their Olive Leaf). Cardiovascular Research for their Magnesium Taurate. I like many more brands.

Anti-aging:
Niacinamide 500mg or smaller doses of powder in water, to keep NAD+ levels topped up.
Apigenin, in the form of dried Parsley powder, that I put in capsules.
Quercetin.
Metformin or Berberine, when I am eating a lot of carbs or not exceeding, and depending on what I'm eating, and what phase I'm going through. It's variable.

Ribose: 2-10 grams in water.

Amino acids:
Taurine 1-6 grams.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine 6g
Lysine 2g (for supposed antiviral effects, although I don't have any viruses, but the evidence suggests it's worth taking).
Tyrosine 500mg
Glycine 5g (we all have glycine deficiency. It's super important for gut, nervous system everything etc).
Glutamine 5g

Antioxidant support:
Vitamin C (amount depending on what I use). I prefer a few grams of sodium Ascorbate mixed in my drink, several times throughout the day. I also make Liposomal Vitamin C, and I take shots throughout the day.

2 Vitamin E-400
1 Lycopene 50mg
3 Beta Carotene 25,000 iu (for skin)
1 Lutein mix 30mg lutein, 9mg meso, 6mg zeazanthin) (for eyes and skin).
1 Astaxanthin 12mg (for skin and sun protection).
1 Coq10 100mg (Ubiquinol)
1 PQQ 20mg
1 Liposomal Quercetin 250mg
2 Benfotiamine 150mg

Vitamin K:
2 K2 MK7 200
1 Ultra K mix of K's
K2 MK4 drops.

Vitamin D (Except during summer, I take 10,000iu D per day)


Minerals:
3 Boron 3mg
1 OptiZinc
1 Magnesium Taurate 125mg (I find Magnesium Taurate is the BEST form for me. But I also take other forms depending on my needs or what I have. I take magnesium glycinate, threonate for brain, and citrate for laxative effect).

Copper Bisglycinate 3-9mg (if I use a lot if zinc, I go higher on the copper to correct or prevent deficiency. I take this separately from everything else I take, so it has a chance to absorb).

1 Carnosine 500mg
3 MSM 1,000mg
4 DMG 125mg (alternatively, TMG 1g)
2 Choline Inositol 250mg (if I don't eat eggs, I double the dose).

Other addons:
Lugol's iodine 5 drops of 5% and 200-400mcg Selenium to protect thyroid.
Lithium Orotate 5mg-15mg to preserve brain.
NAC 600-1800mg for overall glutathione support.
DHEA 5mg.
Sunflower Lecithin, sometimes. I use it for choline or to make my own Liposomal products, like Liposomal vitamin C.

Morning stack sometimes:
Cognitex Elite with and without Pregnenolone.
Dopa Mucuna
Olive Leaf Extract 750mg
Bacopa
OPC's
Ginkgo Biloba
Probiotic


I also try to drink a glass of water with a scoop of baking soda either 2 hours before or 2 hours after I take my morning stack.

That’s a lot of stuff…

 

[AlwaysHungry]

When I take too much supplements especially capsules I tend to pee very often. That tells me that I flush out a lot of garbage. For that reason I like to keep it minimal IF AT ALL.

omega3/cod liver oil moilers 1 or 2 caps per day
Vitamin D3 mine are very small gels so I take a handful whenever in deep winter.
Whey or quality mass gainer if I need it.

That's all.

 

[Jbagel132]

I take a multivitamin, and telmisartan and nebivolol for blood pressure. I take cialis for improved sexual performance, and is allegedly good for kidneys. I also take a fiber supplement, so I’m getting 12 grams of soluble fiber per day in addition to the fiber I already get through diet. Other than that, a high fiber diet and meeting the recommended guidelines for cardiovascular activity are the tried and true proven ways to improve health. I know there’s a ton of supplements out there that allegedly improve cardiovascular health, but high fiber and cardio is all you need in my opinion.

you take telmisartan and nebivolol together, do you think it's necessary or would you get away with one or the other? and how does your blood pressure look on this + on cycle?

Towards the end of my last push my bp was getting quite high and I was up to 80mg telmisartan.

Can’t say whether or not both are necessary because I started both simultaneously. BP is averaging 125/71 currently though; I take 80mg/day telmisartan and 2.5mg 2x/day nebivolol.

Sorry, that’s just OCD. No way in hell someone eating a healthy diet would need to supplement with all of that

If I had real food grown 60 years ago, maybe you'd have a point. But food has barely any nutrition these days. And even if I had the good food, there's no way to get everything you need, day after day. Forget it. So yeah, you better supplement.

I've been doing this for a long time. It works.

 

[Country Club Hero]

-Juice Plus Omega
-Juice Plus Berry
-Now brand psyllium husk caps
-Cialis
-Modafinil/ephedrine/caffeine preworkout rotation
-various sleep meds rotated

Thats my usual stuff year round. But right now I’m tapering off kratom so I’m using some additional supplements currently.

-L-theanine
-5-HTP
-Dopa Mucuna
-Liposomal Vitamin C
-Zinc or ZMA
-Restore gut/brain health. Probiotic & enzyme alternative

I’ll quit the additional supps probably 6 weeks after I drop the kratom completely. Which should be in 2-3 weeks.

Also, the American Heart Association recommends those who are looking to reduce cholesterol to keep saturated fat intake to no more than 6% of total daily calories. I personally aim for no more than 10%.

I've been doing this for a long time. It works.

I’ve taken Juice Plus for most of my adult life for that very reason. But just recently I have decided to finally grow much of my own food. In the last few weeks I got several kinds of fruit trees planted and a chicken coop almost built. I’ll have herbs and vegetables planted in spring. Also bringing in ducks for the eggs and bug control. This time next year I will have about 3.5 acres of quality soil being used for food production. I’ve been sensing it’s time to become less dependent on the commercial market for several years now. These last few years with the shutdowns and supply chain issues have me wishing I would have started all this years ago.

But yeah, today’s commercial meat and produce is a far cry from what God intended for us for both the nutritional value and overall experience of food. I’d even go as far as to say it’s harmful with all the pesticides and the toxicities produced in factory slaughterhouse meats. We have just been conditioned over time with these poisons. Most people have no idea how they are being affected by it either. Including myself until semi recently.

What exactly is different about the nutritional content of today's food vs food in the past? Specifically whole, unprocessed food. What is it lacking?

The American Heart Association is a fake organization and that data is bad. Saturated fat is actually the good fat and you should be eating that fat. It's important.
