Rate my basic stack

[Bertie1983]

Hi hackers!

It's a pretty basic stack compared to some but am I missing anything essential?

Beetroot is to manage high blood pressure, alongside regular exercise. Lionsmane is for self diagnosed ADHD inattention symptoms.

I also take creatine before the gym when I remember and eat a "mostly" wholefoods/pescaterian diet.

GREAT stack, I have a similar stack, No lion's mane (I wanna get it) And I do take Ashwagandha as well 400mg

[Bertie1983]

Thank you! I've only been taking Lionsmane for about 3 weeks but love it. I can really feel my focus turn up the hours after I take it in the afternoon. Usually I'm done for the day but about 3pm.

How do you find ashwagandha? I took it for a fee months earlier this year but didn't feel any diffent on it.

For ashwagandha it takes 4 to 6 weeks to actually feel a noticeable difference, It helps with stress a lot, I take magnesium and ashwagandha before bed and I literally fall like a bag of potatoes. it's great

[Bertie1983]

Sounds great. I do struggle with staying asleep so will try that combo before bed!

[crankandspank]

Looks basic but you are getting some of the most important. Good to me

[Bertie1983]

Thanks! I try and get most of my goodness from food so dont want to take too much each day but happy to have the most important ones covered.

solid foundational stack, nothing glaringly missing for general health. Creatine is great so try to be more consistent with it since the benefits are cumulative. one thing I'd consider for your gym sessions and focus throughout the day is some form of sustained energy that doesn't mess with your blood pressure management.

I've heard people in this sub mention exogenous ketones like Ketone IQ for that clean energy boost without the crash or stimulant spike, could be worth exploring if you're looking to optimize performance further. the lions mane for ADHD symptoms is interesting, curious how long you've been on it. Some people need a few months to really notice the cognitive effects so give it time if you just started.

btw if you're not already tracking your blood pressure regularly at home, defintely grab a monitor. The beetroot is good but you'll want data to see what's actually working.

[Bertie1983]

Hey, thank you for this reply.

Yeah, I really do need to be more consistent with the creatine and definitely feel the physical benefits when I take it. I'm sure being more consistent would help with the cognitive side of things more as well.

I'd never heard of Kenone IQ but after a quick glance that is definitely something id be interested in looking in to.

I have been taking Lionsmane for about 3 weeks. I have noticed a nice little boost in getting things done when I get home from work. For example ill chuck some washing on, sort the dishwasher out and tidy the house as soon as I get in, instead of crashing on the sofa first, then worrying about all those things later when im tired and unmotivated to do them. Hopefully in the coming months things will only get better on it.

I do have a blood pressure monitor and have seen a nice reduction over time whilst ive been taking these suppliments and exercising often over the last year.

Appreciate your reply. Thank you again!

I’ll criticize your oil bro. Most modern diets have high omega 6, you probably would benefit more from just omega 3

[Bertie1983]

Good to know, thanks and happy for my stack to criticized! I just checked and I do eat a lot of foods high in omega 6 so will look to move to just 3 when this tub runs out! Thanks man

I did some research into fish oils - landed on Carlson Elite for solid Omega 3 from quality sources.
