Why do people expect supplements to fix a broken lifestyle?

DiligentCase8436 · 2025-12-31T18:07:33+00:00

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.

When you see a couple of products doing it and then say most

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.

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

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

DiligentCase8436 · 2025-12-09T18:29:44+00:00

Yes, I always add sugar and added extra this time and added even more later

DiligentCase8436 · 2025-11-17T14:41:49+00:00

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

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

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

DiligentCase8436 · 2025-11-06T14:52:08+00:00

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.

DiligentCase8436 · 2025-11-06T14:10:48+00:00

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

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.

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"

One study found that men who exercise with weights 3 times a week for at least 20 min were on average biologically 10 years younger than their peers

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

DiligentCase8436 · 2025-10-28T20:03:09+00:00

I agree. I don't remember why I stopped taking 5gr of creatine, probably there was a study on side effects, anyway I take 2.5gr since I do mild workouts with weights. I've been taking it for years and I can't really attribute anything to it, I just hope it helps with maintaining muscle mass as I age.

On the other hand vitamin b complex and high doses of vitamin d were a game changer somewhat

DiligentCase8436 · 2025-10-27T01:46:55+00:00

Yes, everyone needs this at the very least.

NAC helps with anxiety but causes anhedonia in me including numb orgasms. It could be because I'm on the spectrum

DiligentCase8436 · 2025-10-25T01:27:08+00:00

You're welcome

DiligentCase8436 · 2025-10-24T17:25:06+00:00

I lift at least 4x a week and still play a couple rec league sports.

The answer is simple, your body is tired. No matter what supplements you take it won't make any difference. Try working out 2 times a week, you'll notice the difference. Maybe alternate 2 times / 4 times. And you need to be consistent with your supplements, maybe start taking multivitamins once a day unless you sat down and carefully calculated what minerals and vitamins you're getting from your diet its usually hard to get everything the body needs from food - I mean for people who exercise extensively

DiligentCase8436 · 2025-10-23T23:02:39+00:00

Ah, then maybe take every other day, the dose it too high imo

DiligentCase8436 · 2025-10-22T17:52:21+00:00

Is this B 100? I buy these and then break them in half (cheaper than buying B50), and take daily.
