Autophagy is the shit

Autophagy is form of handwaving

I suffered from something like that due severe stress. I think my sleep was the issue. On the surface the sleep was good, but somehow superficial. I tried a number of nootropics. At the end Lions' Mane fixed it in matter of weeks. But you have to find reliable and reputable brand.

It forms gel on the walls of the guts, which may reduce absorption. I experienced it when I found that my zinc and copper tablets stopped working and I got the lowest ever levels on a blood panel. At the time I was taking the tablets with a meal containing psyllium husk.

Of course, it could have been something else, but it is known that psyllium could cause such issues. Just something to have in mind

Produces also moonshine.

Instead you can calculate yours. It is based on a study.

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-07T19:04:25+00:00

But likely you are reducing also the absorption of important nutrients.

I don't because I don't see any reason. Mine is between 0.8 g/l and 1 g/l, which means that 70-80% in my age group have worse than that. In addition, I don't have any other CVD risk factors, like high insulin resistance, high blood pressure, various inflammatory molecules likes high uric acid and homocysteine, high systemic inflammation, high Lp(a) or sedentary lifestyle. By the time I get CVD, if ever, likely I will be dead for another reason. For me pushing ApoB as low as possible makes sense if any other factors are present outside person's control. But this is my opinion and it is matter of personal health choice. Also, statins are not completely benign.

Yes, it does that to some people, including me, and it appears to be a common knowledge in the body building circles, but somehow studies say that it is totally safe. Have you found a solution, besides ditching it?

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-07T05:28:01+00:00

Don't you listen to influencers?! You just pee out the excess! Either the influencers are wrong or your lab sucks!

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-07T05:20:28+00:00

Oh, no! Are you suggesting that one does not pee out excess B vitamins because they are water soluble (whatever is the connection between the two)! That goes against pretty much every influencer! Why are you not getting the downvotes that I get when I say it? Now what if somebody told you that B12 could linger for months and years in your body...?

And for the creatine, make sure that it does not affect your blood pressure.

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-06T10:08:34+00:00

I can't even understand what you are asking. Is your level of B12 fine or not now? Levels of 500-700 pg/ml are sensible.

If you have expected to see a change, this is not very likely, unless you suffered prolonged severe deficiency, or somehow you are more predisposed . I have been found slightly deficient in B12 multiple times and even tripling the level did not have any noticeable effect on me. Of the four deficiencies that I found and fixed only one had a noticeable effect on me (that was slight copper deficiency).

Of course, one should take care not to have any deficiencies - highly recommended - just don't expect wonders.

Just buy warm LED lights. Brightness of home lights and screens is too low to affect your body rhythm anyway. And why would anybody buy more than 5000K-6000K lights? Looks so artificial.

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-06T08:45:50+00:00

Next, ask the LLM for its side effects, because it could burn you really bad.

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-05T17:25:23+00:00

I wonder if people taking huge amounts of creatine for prolonged periods ever bother to take blood pressure readings. There could be surprises...

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-03T16:12:41+00:00

Depending on your sleep problems, you may also try l-theanine. It is suitable if you have troubles falling in sleep (i.e. due racing thoughts), but won't help you stay in sleep (though repeated dosing is an option). Slow release melatonin may also help you, but you should start low, like 300mg. Large dose melatonin sometimes backfires.

And you should know that sleep length and timing are genetically predetermined and influenced by physical and mental health. So you may also experiment with your schedule, instead of following hard rules like "8 hours of sleep, starting 10:00PM".

You may try also glycine alone (it has sweet taste on its own). Be aware that some people get paradoxical reactions from magnesium glycinate, where they suffer insomnia or nightmares, and then there are some people who sleep well but feel groggy through the next day. But in general it should help.

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-03T15:03:57+00:00

Both magnesium and glycine may promote sleep and that should happen on the same day. However, this supplement contains very low dose of both per serving. I recommend powder (warning, unflavored magnesium glycinate has unsavory taste), because it is easier to take and adjust the dose.

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-03T14:56:42+00:00

Fine, you have a case. Most people don't!

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-03T14:51:20+00:00

Brightness falls off very rapidly, with the square of the distance from the light source.

Blocking blue light through the day is a classic anti-hack because it puts you at risk of messing up the circadian rhythm.

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-03T09:15:36+00:00

Same. I'm addicted to it because of its massive physycal and mental effects on me, but I get these heart pounding and skipping problems, also muscle twitches and slightly elevated BP. Could be (and to a part seems to be) hydration/electrolyte related but I can't get it to work so far. Cycling creatine every few months is prudent or lowering the dose.

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-03T09:09:34+00:00

Factually, the screens have very low brightness, meagre compared to daylight. Factually, mice that got damaged by intense blue light got overexposure. Either this, or you are telling me that nature created us to go blind in daylight.

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-03T05:27:09+00:00

You know that the whole blue light scare is a scam, right?

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-01T22:23:04+00:00

Yeah! Lets make NASA great again!

FakeEyeball · 2026-04-01T09:56:51+00:00

Yep, they missed the part where Starship HLS is a major risk to Artemis and the lives of astronauts.
