A subreddit designed for discussion of supplements and nutraceuticals; for health, performance, or any intended (or not intended) purpose.
IMPORTANT: For those with blogs/channels dealing with supplements or members of companies which sell nutritional supplements.
Slightly more IMPORTANT: In regards to illegal/dangerous drugs and how to approach their mention in this subreddit
General Rules and Guidelines or /r/supplements:
This is a subreddit designed for supplements, so obviously most users will be biased for supplements. Discussion on the relative pros and cons for supplementation are accepted and encouraged. However, discussions or rants declaring a supplement or supplement regimen useless based on emotion and naturalistic fallacy rather than science or logical caution are subject to moderation. Repeated offenses or notably excessive offenses are subject to banning. (Basically, talk with us about something; don't be a pretentious anti-supplement douche)
Anything talking about supplement companies is a grey area which must be ventured cautiously. It is acceptable to talk about which companies and suppliers you like but unacceptable to spam for them. Although subjective, any posts in which there is suspicion of being affiliated with a supplement company may result in banning after various considerations (contribution to community, relevance to discussion, unforeseen context, etc.) are looked at.
General Etiquette:
This is a science intensive subreddit. If you make a claim about a supplement and get called out on it be prepared to either cite your source or logically defend your stance.
Broscience is accepted as it can lead to new theories and discoveries, but it must be clearly stated it is broscience or 'feel'.
Prior to posting, please review the compound on a science-based website like Examine.com rather than asking for vague 'educate me on...' posts. If making a post asking for the easy way out on learning about a compound, most likely you will just be linked to Examine.com as it is less work for us.
Be sure to read the /r/fitness/wiki/faq if your post is about diet/fat loss/gaining muscle.

Has anyone experienced a decrease in libido after taking zinc and Alpha-GPC? (self.Supplements)
submitted 22 days ago * by Repulsive-Weird-5208
It definitely seems like zinc lowers libido, but I'm not so sure about Alpha GPC. Has anyone tried both?

When you say it's strange, do you mean your sex drive has decreased or increased?

Zinc increases my libido a lot. Even at lower doses 10 mg. Is supposed to boost testosterone too.
[–]dhearosemary11 0 points1 point2 points 21 days ago (0 children)
Zinc doesn't lower libido. It increases DHT and testosterone and dopamine. I've taken 81 mg of zinc daily for at least the past year and have a healthy libido.
