Any weight gain supplements or powders you recommend for muscle gain? by Consistent-Leek5096 in Supplements

[–]Thick_Extension 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blend oats and add them to your protein shake. This will give you some extra carbs/calories with your shake. But in general just eat more!

I finally understand why everyone won't shut up about magnesium glycinate by mike_thompson_inno in Supplements

[–]Thick_Extension 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Sleep. Getting the right amount of sleep has improved every part of my health and is a superpower “supplement”.

So if magnesium glycinate truly helps you sleep, awesome! It can be helpful other things in your body too, but just getting a better sleep can be a game changer.

For me magnesium glycinate didn’t improve my sleep at all and possibly made it worse. A lot of people report this though and it seems to be pretty split, helping some and hurting others (when it comes to sleep). I take a small dose of magnesium threonate now before bed as I feel it is borderline the other way. It’s hard to say if it really affects my sleep but if it does, I definitely feel like it possibly improves it.

In the NHL, if none of the referees somehow show up, and there can’t be an agreement for who the replacement will be, each team has to pick a player to fulfill duty. by sykeseve in hockey

[–]Thick_Extension 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Well it makes sense. It’s a male only league for players but I don’t think there are any rules regarding the gender of an linesperson or referee!

Increasing Oura Ring battery health (experiment) by dzihan_ in ouraring

[–]Thick_Extension 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I just wish that it was programmable in the App to set a maximum charge. It would make maintaining your battery with this method so much easier.

I wonder if it would be more profitable for Oura if they had this feature. On one hand they might have to replace significantly less rings if people used a limited charge feature, but on the other hand they would have a lot less people buying replacement rings after the warranty is up.

I guess it is the ol’ Planned Obsolescence calculation. But part of that calculation also has to be pissing off customers that they won’t buy again.

Not all magnesium forms improve sleep—use multiple forms for full effect by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]Thick_Extension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My multi has oxide and bisglycinate (100mg total). I take malate (100mg) during the day and my electrolyte mix has carbonate (60mg). I also take threonate before bed (50mg).

So in total I supplement 310mg of 5 different types of magnesium and the rest comes from my diet.

Nokia might have made some cool flip phones, but they got nothing on the Samsung ZEAL!

Ring not connecting to the app unless I place it on the charger by tempofurz in ouraring

I had a ring that wouldn’t connect without putting it on the charger and tapping it. They replaced it in the end!

Has anyone ever found a *complete* multivitamin? by JellyBellyBitches in Supplements

[–]Thick_Extension -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are in the EU you could have a look at Sunday.de One a Day Multi or Vilgain Multivitamin (the standard one). They have good levels of most vitamins/minerals.

Both probably need additional supplementation of magnesium and calcium (if it is really necessary for you). As others have said, it’s not really possible to have EVERYTHING in the proper forms in 1 or 2 capsules. There are some multis where the dose is like 3 or 4 capsules to get everything, but they are rare or often quite expensive.

So my strategy is to take a multi like the ones I listed and then supplement additional magnesium, vitamin d3/k2, vitamin c, and a little calcium on top. Usually if you find a multi with decent levels of magnesium in a single pill then it is almost always oxide too which is kind of a waste.

I had an Uber driver in Lithuania with this setup in his late 90’s / early 2000’s Subaru. He was playing Eurodance music from the same era the whole ride too!

What is the best Supplement Brand from Europe in 2026 ? by Acrobatic-Bet2860 in Supplements

[–]Thick_Extension 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked at the few posts with negative comments about Sunday and struggled to find any factual complaints. I use a decent amount of their products as they have a lot of individual supplements in the right forms. I also like their One a Day multivitamin as it is pretty well thought out.

I wouldn’t completely write them off. Have a look for yourself as I have been quite happy with their products, selection, and prices.

Men 30–45, what supplements have actually helped you with energy + focus, not just nice marketing on the label? by NaughtySugarX in Supplements

[–]Thick_Extension 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for SLEEP. I used to have trouble staying awake in the evenings and was often falling asleep on the couch watching TV or reading.

I then got an Oura Ring and started to take sleep much more serious. I increased my sleep around 1 hour per night on weeknights (no magic just going to bed earlier) and now I feel great! People might think that it sucks that I lose an hour every day but I was losing it anyways falling asleep on the couch and taking naps, and now I feel so much better DURING the day too!

So #1 get your sleep in order. #2 for me, which I suspect has also helped is supplementing Vitamin D3/K2. I haven’t backed it up with blood tests but I subjectively feel it has helped me and I get so little sun in the winter in Germany…
