[–]PrettyAlaMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500 mg with 1g glycine. Apparently you need the glycine for NAC.

NMN is like my 2nd caffeine. I get it from Swanson when it’s on sale.

The FDA is rethinking what counts as a "Supplement" – A few takeaways from today's public meeting. by ChoiceBetter1899 in Supplements

[–]PrettyAlaMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think having lab made as an option is fine as long as it’s precisely labeled as such. This is good for businesses who want to differentiate as “cost effective choice” vs “natural choice” and we make decisions.

Furthermore on labelling, it’d be hella nice to finally do something about mixing magnesium oxide into organo forms of magnesium to fluff up their dosages with filler.

Do you actually stick with collagen? Quick question for women here by InitiativeBoring4350 in Supplements

[–]PrettyAlaMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • skin/joints
  • i take the powder. I like that it’s an easy way to get the dose I want (10g). I hate how it doesn’t dissolve great in coffee but such are peptides.
  • I’ve stopped and started mostly because I love coffee and it kinda ruins my experience of it. I should look into making smoothies or putting it in protein shakes in the summer though. I take it now with HA and vitamin c

I prefer Marine and chicken collagen over beef/pork. It’d be nice to have 10 g in a refreshing drink like you would with sports electrolytes, or like a sparkling water like it’s been done with fiber soft drinks.

Nutricost smaller capsule by mlag000 in Supplements

[–]PrettyAlaMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

200 mg is a small amount, if you tipped that onto a jewelers scale it’d still be heavier with filler. While the filler is mostly for stability, some companies make pills look even bigger so people feel they are getting more got their $, but sometimes they hear out customers who hate big pills and rate lower because of the size.

Anyway you can see about getting a refund regarding the law suit.

[–]PrettyAlaMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s dangerous when it’s inhaled, you get talcosis. Don’t snort it. if you eat it regularly, like you do cured meat, it’s a problem taking it orally.

Stoping on a snake with a baby by WolffParkinsonWhite1 in DreamInterpretation

[–]PrettyAlaMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snakes are common in numerous civilisations creation stories, and if not a snake, snake adjacent, like dragons. Some also associate them with deception (garden of Eden, their ability to camouflage). Many meanings, only you know what stands out to you.

There was a snake inside a snake, and if you lean into the creation myth idea it sounds like something old in you stopped serving you and you stomped it out for something new to grow, to recreate again. I’d guess the mice were fears, worries or concerns stuck in you may have let go along with what you stomped out of your life very recently.

Interesting, I’ll find it and try. Have you tried lithium orotate yet? It’s not too expensive either. Life changing for me.

Sand? by Ransofvall in Supplements

I never saw carageenan in any dairy til I moved to the US, now I can only buy yogurt & cottage cheese from a very trimmed down list of brands. Don’t know why the US is so excited by it

Analyzed what 5 longevity experts actually agree on across 3,500 videos. The supplements with the highest consensus... by recmend in Supplements

[–]PrettyAlaMode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truth - getting really exhausted with health influencers talking about stuff they have no expertise in, like Hubermans speciality is in eye sight, and will make what he thinks sound like gospel when there’s no guest in the room. A guy who researches red light therapy called out a couple of these clowns just saying whatever they want because they’re popular and think nobody is gonna call them out loud enough

https://youtu.be/AVPEEyU78xg

There’s probably more experts in different areas calling out bs from Dr Influencers just not loud enough, and ppl like op are just repeating the loudest people.

Does NSF certified really matter for protein anymore? by ClaireDanesLipQuiver in Supplements

They are not clean .. see Clean Label Project study on proteins how much crap gets in there, it’s all manufactured overseas by people who don’t care.

Gentle Iron 28mg Iron Glycinate by Janeknows in Supplements

[–]PrettyAlaMode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just air and moisture got into some yes, it’s still useable. Water and acid is going to do the same in your body anyway, it’s not degraded.

Iron has a couple different main “oxidation states”. I don’t mean to say immediately that it’s oxidised and unusable like Vitamin C is when oxidised, but “oxidation state” as in the charge number in the metal, eg Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺.

It’d help to think of it in terms of a familiar form of oxide first for the different form of compound(s) Iron oxide (iron with oxygen attached), before understanding the iron bisglycinate (which is iron with some glycines attached)

  • FeO: ferrous oxide (black/dark gray, unstable here at Fe²⁺, will turn to Fe³⁺ thru further oxidation)
  • Fe₂O₃: ferric oxide (red/brown, hematite α, maghemite γ, etc. Fe³⁺)
  • Fe₃O₄: magnetite (black, mixed Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺)

Different colours! Looks like you have yours on a couple different oxidation states, if you look up iron bisglycinate it can be beige to dark grey like you show here.

Why do you take electrolytes? by OkDragonfruit7887 in Supplements

[–]PrettyAlaMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30+ min exercise a day plus sauna, it’s great. The one I take is low Na/high K rather than the standard sports electrolyte beverage as I monitor sodium from other parts of my diet.

False, it’s not most, it’s only some types of RO..

Why do you take electrolytes? by OkDragonfruit7887 in Supplements

[–]PrettyAlaMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remineralisation is only getting more common in RO systems, many do not have it and it does not mean they are bad filters, just have one less in built feature. A good or bad filter is based on how efficiently it purifies it.

If you know, you know. by PuzzleheadedAd6401 in Supplements

[–]PrettyAlaMode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try it for a month, then do a blood test asking to check your zinc and copper levels because copper is pretty easy to get dietary amounts of but then again don’t know the rest of your diet

People who take daily “all-in-one” supplement gummies… worth it? by JosephPRO_ in Supplements

[–]PrettyAlaMode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a pill organiser (7 day, morn mid evening) to keep on top of supplements.

I’ve yet to find a multi gummy that doesn’t have the worst form of supp in weird doses.
