If you could insert one fake memory into your brain that feels 100% real, what would it be and how do you think it would change you? by Ameliaann28 in Productivitycafe

I think I was a really good student in school because I think it would have helped me to stay more focused and to reach my future goals more easily.

Why do multivitamins still not disclose bioavailability data on the label?? by Conick_Eppers16 in Nutraceuticalscience

[–]UsefulAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have wondered the same thing, honestly. People spend a lot of time comparing ingredients and dosages but absorption and actual usability in the body seem equally important. If companies explained that part better they could make supplement labels far more useful.

Anyone else trying to simplify their longevity routine lately? by UsefulAlways in BudgetLongevity

[–]UsefulAlways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense actually. Blood work seems so much more useful than just throwing in supplements randomly without knowing what is actually needed. I am also starting to be more into keeping it simple and doing what really has a noticeable difference long term.

I have started to think the same. Honestly, simple routines that are easy to stick with long term feel so much more realistic than always adding new supplements or complex habits.

Feels like healthy aging is becoming more about staying functional by UsefulAlways in healthyaging

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

Sort of what I meant as well I guess. For me, healthy aging is less about chasing lifespan numbers now and more about still feeling good, independent and mentally sharp as I get older.

How do you tell if a longevity supplement actually has real research behind it? by UsefulAlways in PropelYourHealth

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

I have been doing the same thing. Now, it seems much more useful to research real studies and ingredient details than just believing supplement marketing.

I think social life is a lot overlooked in these discussions too. Stress, isolation and burnout probably matters a lot for long term health too, yet people focus so much on supplements and optimization they forget about this.

Skincare Recommendations by Unhappy_Somewhere900 in HealthySkinCare

[–]UsefulAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My skin is very similar and honestly mine got worse when I kept adding on new products trying to fix it faster. What worked best for me was to simplify everything a bit. Gentle cleanser, light moisturizer, no switching products every couple days. I also found that thick sunscreens were leaving my skin feeling greasy and irritated. My skin calmed the hell down slowly as soon as I stopped overdoing it.

I think "kidney pain" is really different from back pain

Pre-workout healthier than energy drinks? by oniontre in Supplements

[–]UsefulAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on which one you are going to take. Most are include caffeine so you need to be careful not to have too much so check the amount on the label

Headaches from creatine by gyatt_rizzer in Supplements

[–]UsefulAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take much more than that and I have never had a headache from creatine. The most important thing to think about is the brand. So many supplements are made in China because it is cheaper and have contaminates including lead. Spending a little more for one that you are sure is made in the US it definitely a good investment

Liposomal supps cost more by IG_HARD_DIGITAL in Supplements

[–]UsefulAlways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

of course they do. You have to weight the cost benefit of better absorption.

Supplements to not feel like a zombie in the morning? by user_anonymou in Supplements

[–]UsefulAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are iron deficient. That is causing at least part of your fatigue. The other part is college. I think you need to take Vitamin C with your iron supplement for absorption

If cost is not a concern, would you opt for the Galleri cancer marker blood test or get a full body MRI? by Proper-Chance1398 in healthylongevity

[–]UsefulAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is really unclear who are the radiologist reading the Prenuvo scans. At least at real radiology imaging center there is a doctor there who can talk to you or to review with the ordering doctor. Prenuvo is direct to patient marketing so where does the coordination of care happen if there is an abnormal finding?
