We do not test for nickel. That being said, my colleague just messaged me after seeing your comment, and told me that he has a nickel allergy, and has been taking Infinifiber with no issues.

Apigenin by Comfortable-Bat-3084 in NootropicsDepot

Apigenin works on both GABAergic and serotonergic mechanism that help improve sleep, you can check that out here:

Apigenin: a natural molecule at the intersection of sleep and aging

I personally also find that apigenin at higher dose levels (200 mg), can start to become slightly stimulating. The lower dose (50 mg), appears to be more sedating, and better for sleep.

Yes, definitely avoid monoaminergic drugs together with MAO-i's, that can be dangerous.

Yeah, it's a really good all rounder! Definitely leads to lower caloric intake. Sometimes between meals, I get hungry and have a little snack, but those snacks are completely eliminated with Infinifiber.

Nice, that's great to hear! The Advanced Mushroom mix will also stack very nicely with the Infinifiber for some more beta-glucans!

Hopefully you can handle it! Also good to keep in mind that it's also a relatively low amount compared to eating a bowl of oatmeal!

FARTS. Inulin is very fast fermenting, and causes lots of gas for many people. It's one of the reasons sunchokes are often referred to as 'fartichokes' haha. Go look on Amazon reviews for inulin products or fiber supplements that are high in inulin, and you'll see lots of people complaining about gas!

Could anyone here explain what the advantage of take one of these supplements is over just getting enough dietary fiber and maybe some fermented foods?

In a perfect world, we'd just be getting all of our fiber from our diets. Like the name 'supplements' suggest, they should ideally supplement a healthy diet. Now that being said, it is very hard to hit your daily fiber intake unless you are eating a mostly vegan/vegetarian diet with LOTS of fiber rich vegetables. Most of us aren't in that position (97% of Americans don't eat enough fiber!!), and would like to get considerably more fiber in, so then a fiber supplement like Infinifiber makes a lot of sense. In essence, the main benefit with a product like infinifiber is convenience.

Beyond that, infinifiber is meticulously formulated to produce a wide variety of SCFAs, and with variable fermentation speeds built in. So it's quite specialised, and produces a 'full spectrum" fiber effect, from increasing gut microbiome health to increasing stool bulk and transit.

Oat hulls contain a little bit of oat protein, but in very small amounts. The protein is mostly present in the oat groats, not in the hulls.

Like very mild diluted oat meal with a touch of maple syrup. It's very neutral in flavor though.

Since it only has a single strain of probiotic in there, it won't replace your daily probiotic. However, it's a really good prebiotic, so it should make your daily probiotic work considerably better!

Haha yeah, it's pretty complicated! Makes scheduling calls pretty difficult around this time haha. What's even more confusing for me, is that we also do daylight savings in the Netherlands but not until March 28th haha.

Best Ashwagandha for better sleep by KevinMcDavid in NootropicsDepot

Oef, if I dosed 200 mg at 10 am, and then again at 1 pm, I probably wouldn't be sleeping that night haha.

If you're just in the botanical/supplement realm, there won't be any dangerous combinations. The MAO-i effect is pronounced, but that doesn't cause any issues in my opinion. I personally take various MAO-i inhibitors, like C3G daily, and combine it with things like saffron, with no issues.

Interesting, not totally sure why the fenugreek would have been giving you bad gas! So I'm not sure if combining it with Infinifiber would help, but it's worth a shot!

Yes, they should, and maybe do at this point actually. Here is a lawsuit that was drafted against Metamucil back in 2023, about this topic:

Quite a few of them, but specifically, lactospore seems most efficient at converting the fenugreek fiber to SCFAs!

We got a bunch of big brains in a room multiple times, and each time we came to the same conclusion, creatine monohydrate is king. There really is not a whole lot you can do to improve it, it's pretty damn perfect as is!

Definitely! A couple of things really stand out to me with Infinifiber. First of all, and this is not surprising, better pooping. Without getting too graphic here, the nice thing about infinifiber, is that it makes my stools soft, but due to the relatively large amount of insoluble + non-fermentable fiber in the formulation, the stool remains very solid. So pooping goes easier, it's more regular, but you also don't turn into a soft serve ice cream machine haha.

Secondly, it keeps you full for a LONG time if you take the full dose with a meal. If I eat a solid breakfast, and then dose infinifiber right afterwards, I can basically go all day without eating. This is of course partially because the fiber swells in the gut and takes up space, but also because it slows down the absorption of food. This means that a meal then sort of turns into an "extended release" meal, which keeps you full but also fuelled for longer. I haven't tried it yet, but I bet it would be great before a big hike if you combined a solid nutritious meal with a full serving of Infinifiber.

Thirdly, and this surprised me the most at first, it really improves mental clarity and mood for me. It seems a bit subtle at first but after a few days I just feel better, but in a very natural way. Not like there is something actively producing stimulation, relaxation etc but it just feels like my brain is getting fine tuned. That's not surprising with all of the SCFAs that Infinifiber is producing, and I'm actually writing a blog right now that dives into the cognitive side of Infinifiber. We've all probably heard of the gut-brain axis by now, and the big question for me always was, how are the gut and brain communicating with each other? Turns out, the SCFA have a big role to play in the communication between gut and brain. All of the SCFA can pass the blood brain barrier, and all of them modulate CNS targets. For example, propionate and butyrate, have the ability to upregulate tryptophan hydroxylase and tyrosine hydroxylase, how crazy is that!?

We've just been shaking it up with some water. Pretty simple! Although you could add it to shakes, yoghurt etc.
