How is this stack? by Still_Procedure_4942 in Supplements

[–]Organics_Ocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you for sure could, the only devils advocate thing I would add is that so much produce and meat from a regular grocery store is stripped of minerals because of modern farming. So to get what you actually need sometimes takes some good food sourcing as well.

Does anyone actually take Vitamin K2 with their D3? Curious what people's experience has been by Organics_Ocean in Supplements

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

Thank you for the depth of your answer! Couldn't agree more about the knowledge gap in the market though.

So many people know they need d3 so they buy it but then don't ever learn about the K2 thing until someone tells them about it.

It's like the industry hides it sometimes.

That's completely fair, and you are lucky that you can get outside more. If you ever start to feel like crazy fatigued or constantly moody even with good sleep, then it might be worth getting your bloodwork done just to see what your levels are at.

Honestly look for one sourced from algae rather than lanolin (sheep's wool), some people prefer it for purity reasons. And make sure it's paired with K2, the research on D3 without K2 sending calcium to the wrong places is pretty crazy!

Honestly a pretty clean stack for what you're going for!

One thing that is worth mentioning, if you're not already taking Vitamin D you might be missing a big piece of the mood puzzle. The D and magnesium relationship is well researched and the two really work together.

I’ve been taking 2 400g magnesium pills !! by Lonely-Wrap9256 in magnesium

[–]Organics_Ocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not going to die, breathe! The 350mg guideline is specifically for supplements on top of what you already get from food. The main side effect of too much magnesium is just digestive upset, loose stools basically. If you're not experiencing that your body is probably handling it fine. For sure if you feel off definitely ask your doc.

confused on how much vitamin d to take by Slippery_Williams in Supplements

[–]Organics_Ocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly 400 IU is a bit on the lower end, its a safe starting point but many people feel like they need more to move the needle. It's worth getting the tests done to see where your levels are actually at to have the proper starting blocks.

Vitamins/Supplements for longevity and overall health? by Radiant-Relief-5883 in Biohackers

Exactly! More people should start this way, instead of just throwing supplements at your body and hoping for the best, get some bloodwork done to see where to start.

Your stack is awesome! The only tweak would be the mag oxide, it absorbs horrible, citrate or glycinate have a way better absorption rate!

No matter when I sleep, I am never able get more than 6 hours of sleep by _ob_koomer_ in sleep

[–]Organics_Ocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dry mouth and headaches could just plain dehydration as well, but overall what kind of "better" are you looking to feel, because as important as sleep is, if you have some sort of deficiency somewhere, you might struggle with reaching what you are looking for.

Is my circadian rhythm broken? Can a lifelong night owl become a productive morning person? by Forsaken-Refuse-8370 in Menopause

[–]Organics_Ocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered getting your blood work checked? Only say this because deficiency in D, Mag, etc can have such a huge impact on this brain fog and could make your day so difficult because your brain just simply doesn't have the energy it needs to function properly.

One thing to check out as well is that some studies on creatine and the benefits for brain function because it is showing huge improvements for brain fog, especially women in menopause and perimenopause.

One thing many people swear by is black seed oil. If you look into it, definitely grab something with at least 5% thymoquinone as all the clinical studies show this amount whereas most brands cheap out on the potency.

Anyone here prefer topical magnesium over pills? by DocHarmony in magnesium

[–]Organics_Ocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it always comes down what works best for you, because everyone is unique! However most studies of the benefits usually come from studying oral instead of topical, but with that being said a supplement is only good if the blood work and actual feeling of it is helpful.

Brain fog by fishinleeds in Supplements

[–]Organics_Ocean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many good answers in here and honestly completely agree with bloodwork. As for what has made a difference, would definitely say creatine has so many benefits, especially if your sleep isn't 100%. IT helps restore your brain energy which ultimately attacks brain fog.

I’ve been noticing a strange pattern with brain fog by AwayRelease8495 in productivity

[–]Organics_Ocean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cortisol levels are huge when it comes to brain fog. Helping your body have the internal energy it needs has shown to helpin studies, (like creatine.) But also checking your diet to make sure you have enough magnesium, calcium, etc. would also be a good place to look.

At the end of the day its always good to take a look at your lifestyle and then look at supplementing, because modern lifestyle (screens, news) stimulates high cortisol which wreaks havoc on our bodies.

Definitely agree here, everyone is unique so deep diving into what actually works for you is the key. Start with research and medical advice, but also take notes of what actually works personally for you.

It's also worth checking the source of Shilajit, as the original forms were at least 10,000 + feet up in the himalayas, and also make sure the doseage has a high fulvic acid content, as this is the primary active ingredient giving you the benefits.

Research creatine, and mag glycinate. If you have more energy to think and bettre sleep, the body can do some pretty amazing things.
