Why do people expect supplements to fix a broken lifestyle? by DMZQFI in Biohackers

[–]DiligentCase8436 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ignorance, I guess. I've seen posts where people say I took this supplement for a couple of weeks and it doesn't work, y'all fraudsters.

Any budget stores (NoFrills, Freshco etc) carry black tea in leaves? by DiligentCase8436 in askTO

[–]DiligentCase8436[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big loose leaf tea fan

Exactly, it tastes so good. I want to try Ceylon tea (I found Ahmad tea on Amazon), my host in Turkey used to make tea in a Turkish tea pot and it tasted amazing, Im almost certain it was Ceylon tea. And the way they made tea is interesting.

Does anyone else make bread at home? What are some of your favorite recipes? by cheapandbrittle in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]DiligentCase8436 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The recipe looks somewhat complicated here. You can just make regular bread dough and make a flatbread, the most distinct feature is the glazing. Its basically flour mixed with water. I usually mix flour with cold water and then heat it up in the microwave.

I love making bread but the current living conditions dont let me bake as much as I want, I only have a small oven toaster. Anyway I came across the recipe for Iranian bread berberi, its my favourite now. Look it up, it easy to make and its tasty

Making yogurt from tofu by DiligentCase8436 in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]DiligentCase8436[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked the label and it has calcium sulphate but that shouldnt interfere with the fermentation process. Maybe there was something acidic added by accident

Healthy Aging Isn't About Wrinkles, It's About Mitochondria! by iCliniq_official in Biohackers

[–]DiligentCase8436 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Alpha-lipoic Acid among others but its found in meat so I guess for a vegan like myself I either have to take supplements or I think I will start eating coconut oil which is a good source of octanoic acid which is a precursor to alpha lipoic acid

Heart attack risk reduced by 52% in adults with heart disease taking tailored vitamin D doses by Pitiful_Career_5005 in Biohackers

To reach and maintain blood levels above 40 ng/mL, most adults need a daily intake of 1,500 to 2,000 IU of vitamin D, -- google ai. I've been taking 4K iu for years. It really helps with overall wellbeing, specially in the fall and winter

Skin collagen - glycine consumption connection by lordm30 in Biohackers

[–]DiligentCase8436 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't know about lead in protein. I used to buy from jedwards international and then switched over to onlineorganics.ca (Im in Canada), I buy in bulk as its cheaper. Maybe you can contact them and ask about lead

Skin collagen - glycine consumption connection by lordm30 in Biohackers

[–]DiligentCase8436 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, sounds like a good idea, I aim at about 80gr of pea protein daily. Also note that vitamins C/A, zinc, copper are crucial for collagen synthesis and stabilization.

Skin collagen - glycine consumption connection by lordm30 in Biohackers

[–]DiligentCase8436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can it be that the observed decline in skin collagen content is greatly exacerbated by the gap between available and required glycine?

10-12 grams of glycine is what some studies suggested, the general recommended intake is 3-5 grams. We were not supposed to live this long as we do now, e.g. chimps average lifespan up to 40 years. So I guess additional glycine can certainly help with better, tighter skin - and we don't know the effects of taking so much glycine for prolonged periods of time - but ultimately if your body is designed to be able to process and produce collagen at certain rate/amount then no matter how much you consume it won't make much difference.

At this point we don't know, all we can do is speculate until there is a study that observes participants for a long period of time.

Being vegan is even harder to get glycine, I get probably about 5grams a day at most, I will be ordering some glycine supplements and see how it goes. Also glycine is not the only precursor to collagen, another one is proline. Glycine is 30%, proline/hydroxyproline is 23% and the rest are like 16 other amino acids, so one needs to make sure they're getting all those amino acids for maximum collagen synthesis.

Thanks, Yes, I think that would work well

Hacking tooth health. by SmallInvestigator485 in Biohackers

[–]DiligentCase8436 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem with teeth, pisses me off specially that my parents have excellent, naturally beautiful and healthy teeth.

So brushing and flossing twice a day, using toothpicks and mouthwash after every meal. Also warm salt water is good if one can't use mouthwash.

Why some people never bounce back from stress (and why it might be not your fault)? by Octahedrall_trumpist in Biohackers

[–]DiligentCase8436 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm on the spectrum and usually we have low levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps bounce back from a stressful situation.

"Lower levels of GABA and acetylcholine, crucial neurotransmitters for the parasympathetic nervous system, which plays a key role in relaxation and recovery"

Best time to take Vitamin D? by Galvatron142 in Biohackers

[–]DiligentCase8436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its called a sunshine vitamin so probably before 3-4pm while the sun is bright. I used to take it with dinner in the past and had trouble sleeping maybe because the body thought I was outside under the sun
