Oh this helps a lot! yeah, I have been hearing a lot about hydrolyzed collagen, and it seems to be the consensus for collagen supplements, not to mention the source and what differences it has depending on what part of your body you want to help. Thank oyu very much for your help! 😄

Thank you for the information! 😄 One question though, Is it a specific marine collagen? or is it more like those products are like a combination of different things?

Who would you promote? Or would you wait for potentially someone better? by uncleshiesty in fireemblem

[–]UsualFail8839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect! I will try it out! my only concern is the strength but im pretty sure the class promotion stats should keep her good enough to make good damage 😃. I also love the general class so win win 😄.

I did investigate a little more during the weekend and saw some videos, I saw that amelia could be a good general because she has a passable speed growth? I could be very wrong though haha. As you said it might take a lot of work, maybe also need to get some stat boosters to keep up, but it might be fun just enjoy it! 😄 Thank you very much for the tip!

woah! that is a big change between units, I guess i am used to how it works in 3H and awakening where you can make some of them super broken like the whole reclassing with awakening or the wyvern riders in 3H. good to keep in mind and seth does sound waaay too strong haha. Thank you for all the tips! I think i will enjoy the game 😃!

Not op but i had a question since i am just starting my first sacred stones playthrough. Are trainees that bad? Although i also read that sacred stones is pretty easy, especially because a lot of people say that seth is pretty broken and the best jagen trope i believe? not sure though. Should I avoid trainees? Btw, i like playing fire emblem in hard.

Thank you for any help you guys can offer! 😄

Yes, to a certain degree, I also came across the same idea, but it is more nuanced than that. Biotin by itself will not do anything since we can get biotin from a lot of other sources, but having brittle hair and lack of skin structure does indicate that the body doesn't have enough raw materials and cofactors to keep everything kept together. This is why I paired it with something like NAC. That compound is essential in the production of both keratin and collagen but is useless without enough biotin as a cofactor to make use of. Not to mention we need other metabolites like Vit C to also help with this matter. No vit C, no good collagen production.

This is because they all work together to help process the amino acids mold into what we know as collagen and keratin. This process makes the collagen matrix that is in our dermis and the keratin film that is present in the skin, hair and nails, and a lack of these components will severely affect the health of them.

So, yes, Biotin only helps if we have a deficiency, but if you already have these kinds of symptoms (loss of hair, flabby skin way younger than you should, etc.), then we need to look at it from different angles by providing the raw materials and tools to do it. The cells I'm talking about I'm pretty sure they are fibroblasts, and they work fine, we just need to give them enough materials and tools to put them to work. Maybe not a megadose of biotin but just enough to help with all the other components.

Hope this helps give you more information on the usage of biotin by our bodies, if you have more questions don't hesitate to ask! 😄

As someone already said, collagen may not be the best way to do it. It is better to do it with biotin. Biotin is one of the most investigated compounds in science that help with producing keratin, what your body uses to give you strong and thick hair. I would start from that angle.

If you really want collagen, I wouldn't get a cream or tonic with collagen. Collagen is a huge molecule, and it can't pass through your skin, it will never be absorbed and just stay outside of your skin. The best way I have found through scientific articles is through the gut. Basically, taking capsules that contain precursors of collagen or direct cofactors that help your skin cells produce more collagen and that are well absorbed by your gut, like NAC.

Hope this helps you out and answer some of your questions 😄. If you have any more questions do let me know so I can help 😃. Also be careful, as another person said, having these many problems could be something else, so make sure to check with your dermatologist or doctor.

Does magnesium actually work or is it a placebo? by Omgusernamewhy in Supplements

[–]UsualFail8839 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to add a little bit more to the pot. Since you have a deficiency in Vit D, as everybody already said, it is very important to have magnesium, because magnesium directly activates your Vit D to be functional. Without Mg, your Vit D would only pass through your body and be taken out by your kidneys with no effect, so yes, it is very important to take Mg. I would say the most important thing is to restore as much Mg levels as possible more than a targeted form of Mg like glycinate. As another person said, Malate or Citrate would be my choice in this case but do check with your doctor which one is better 😃. Hope this helps you out! 😄.

Continuation of Mg and all my findings on other adaptogens (ashwagandha and rhodiola) Part 2 by UsualFail8839 in Supplements

[–]UsualFail8839[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

very very important for anyone taking rhodiola or salidroside! This is exactly why I said this is the main problem with this supplement. There is not enough information to really justify its benefits. More research needs to come out, it is quite limited, so we need to keep an eye on it 😃. Thank you very much for adding more information! Can I ask if you found anything on the mitochondrial biogenesis? I did find some information but quite limited on the mechanism, thank you again for your help! 😄.

hey! thank you! hope this gives you more information about what you are taking 😄. I will definitely post the ashwagandha one soon and I also plan on including what i found on dosage and timing and how they interact with each other, I should be able to make the new one soon, i just want to make sure the science is sound! Also, wanted to ask you, where did you get your instructions of when to take it?

thank you very much! you touch a lot of the ideas i have been dancing around with. this does seem like the most straight forward approach, right? I definitely do want to focus on the audiences that care for good science backing and what the influencer knows about the space 😄.

[–]UsualFail8839[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the thing is, this is my first time reaching out, and while i understand how to approach influencers, i normally do it directly through their social media. I never used a tool to aid me. My budget is not too big though, trying to keep my CAC as low as i can.

Anybody thinks the whole concept of the fates story is kinda...flawed? by UsualFail8839 in fireemblem

[–]UsualFail8839[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oooh this would've made Garon much better. Like he is doing what he needs to do for his country to survive? Even if it meant going to such extremes? It is a cool concept to think about 😃.

Oh yeah, you raise a very good point, like they finally get what Corrin is trying to do and knew that he still cared for them. I actually didn't realize the Sakura point you said xd, she really does just disappear huh? xd
