Are vitamins / supplements any good?

Astaxanthin is good for reduced oxidative stress and eye health (bc I don’t like eating carrots). Another side effect I noticed is glowing skin in case you’re not getting enough sunlight

Creatine Monohydrate (cognitive focus, better performance), a good multi-vitamin (lacking essential vitamins most likely), ashwaganda (mood/stress) and magnesium (sleep) is all you will need tbh

Anybody try nootropics like Bacopa or anything similar? 

Yeah Rhino gas station pills always fire me up brah

When I was in high school I tried some 5 hr energy and it tasted pretty good, had higher energy that day for my soccer game as well

I started developing some serious muscle twitching all over my body, but most in the eye.

Thing persisted for months, and the hypochondriac in me was starting to fear the worst (ALS etc.)

Went to get my blood checked, and turns out I had a serious vitamin and mineral deficiencies. After taking supplements for some time, those thing disappeared. Same with a bunch of other (albeit less) annoying things. 

vitamins tend to be made syntethically in a laborotary, and that disrupts your hormones

if that doesn't convince you yet, there is a balance between nutrients and vitamins when you eat food, there is a ratio that keeps the gut bacteria balanced and makes one feel well. The issue with vitamins is that they to bend so far in some nutrients that a normal balance between different vitamins is lost and this disrupts your gut biodiversity.

if you're not convienced yet, multivitamins tend to be packed by vitamins that we already take enough from a normal diet, they fill those multivitamins with the most abundant vitamins because they're cheaper meanwhile the ones that people are craved out are quite low (company prioritizing profits at the expense of their clients well-being??? no way!) 

so just stick to a balanced diet, many people that are 80s-90s never touched supplements in their live, just eating a balanced diet and not overeating is the key to vitality, not pumping your body with syntethical products

Drinking canned fresh milk helps supplement vitamins in addition to eating..

Vitamin D for winter—end thread—the rest are only there to beef up revenue line items for Pharma companies; they're only ever needed in environments where financial poverty leads to reduced access to conventional food that's available in First World countries (& for people with specific health conditions (usually temporary))

Yeah bro I wouldn't be where I am today without my daily doses of vitamins Tren and HGH.  

Have heard good things about AG1. Also apparently there’s supplements called collagen that help with aging and health overall

I take multi vitamins to ensure I am getting the proper nutrition.

I also take pre workout supplements to help me get stronger at the gym and recover faster from each workout. I usually gym for 1-2 hours each day

Creatine is good for you. The primary benefit of creatine is an improvement in strength and power output during resistance exercise. Creatine is well-researched for this purpose, and its effects are quite notable for a supplement, both in the general population, and in older adults.

When used in conjunction with resistance exercise, creatine may modestly increase lean mass. In trained athletes, creatine has been reported to reduce body fat and improve some measures of anaerobic exercise performance, strength, and power output. Creatine has also been tested for effects on anaerobic running capacity in many studies, the results of which are rather mixed but generally suggest a small improvement in performance.

Although creatine has been researched far less for cognitive performance and mental health than for physical performance, it may have benefits in some contexts. Creatine appears to reduce mental fatigue in some scenarios, particularly highly stressful ones involving sleep deprivation or exercise to exhaustion.

Creatine may also improve some aspects of memory, particularly for people with below-average creatine levels, such as vegetarians and older adults. There is also some preliminary evidence to suggest that creatine may reduce symptoms of depression in individuals with major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder.

I take a multivitamin and biotin. I take the multivitamin in case I have any deficiencies.  I take biotin for hair maintenance.  I do not know if any of this stuff does anything for me.  

I have no idea

Take some lions mane and bacopa

Here is the skinny on vitamin d, if you really want it to have a effect on your body then you have to take these together for maximum results: vitamin D, zinc and Magnesium Stearate. Why because the vitamin d, have to bod with the receptors in your gut, which happens with the zinc and ms.

If you suffer from low energy then you need to take vitamin k2, mk 7. This makes your mitochondria to produce more energy. The two along you should experience the changes with the hour of taking them and lasts most of the day.

I forgot to add, avoid the following foods:
All forms of bread, sodas all if them and anything with sucrose unless its in fruits which only eat the whole fruit, stay away from juice in a bottle, whole fruits contain enough fibre to reduce the sucrose rush.

Just as an FYI for people here, multivitamins have basically 0 evidence indicating there are long-term benefits.

It's much better to have a healthy and balanced diet to support your daily vitamin and micro-nutrient intake.

Yep, as mentioned in another post - multi and biotin almost daily, I also throw in glucosamine and fish oil (was traveling for around two weeks no vitamins and noticed - or what seemed like what was happening hair getting slightly weaker and less energy, as for glusosamine and fish oil no idea.. hope for best lol)

also once in a while - Zinc, Magnesium, the B's (B6, B12 and B-complex), D, C, E (which biotin covers E) and a couple of others like a chewy red beet root blah blah

Hey, forgot about this!!  Good call brotha, cheers..

Multi vitamin every morning
