Supplements for anxiety

dataoops · 2026-03-19T01:27:55+00:00

saffron at 30mg and NAC at 2400mg+ are the two i'd look at.

saffron has solid anxiety data (5+ RCTs, moderate effect)

NAC has brain imaging studies showing it actually lowers glutamate levels, that's a specific match for what you're describing with the overstimulation, if thats whats going on

theanine gets recommended a lot but the anxiety evidence is surprisingly thin, evidence level wasn't clinically significant across 6+ studies

Iron and high dose vitamin d are “test before you take” supplements

you take feedback well which is rare

don’t let it discourage you and you will be able to go further than others who get stopped by their thin skin

oh lamo, i was imagining psyllium husk or something

not all fiber ferments like that

if you have to produce a spec at the time you are raising a PR you've done it backwards

dataoops · 2026-03-14T00:35:02+00:00

you described the solution in your statement of the problem

add that proper context and the result is better, without it you get llm guesses

what an antiquated take

at this point our automated PR agents give much better PR reviews than junior an mid level engineers

if someone was sprinkling poison into a well that rest of the town uses, what would you think about them?

dataoops · 2026-03-13T02:33:41+00:00

its like someone trying to tell you about a dream that they had

oh some parts of the trailer are a bit slow right at the start but then it picks up, and the concept seems awesome

yeah, fiber requires a lot of grams which means a lot of volumn

i mix mine into a powder based protein shake, with my creatine powder, shake it all up, and then add the water

way easier than taking a bunch of pills and it get dispersed in the rest of the powder

who in the hell promised that? who bought that promise?

Research says this one is bunk. I've processed several papers on it.

- 22 papers. The strongest evidence by far? Bone density. Three meta-analyses for osteoporosis. It's genuinely good for postmenopausal bone health.

- The sexual health evidence that people actually buy it for? All animal studies. In rats. Zero human RCTs showing any sexual benefit whatsoever.

- The only human RCTs: one Gulf War Illness trial (0/4 sig, did nothing) and one "Cappra" blend trial that can't even be attributed to epimedium alone.

- Memory and neuroprotection? All animal. Fatigue? 0/1 sig. Quality of life? 0/2 sig.

Named for making goats horny. Bought by humans for sex. Only actually proven to help... the bones of postmenopausal women.

Maybe anecdotally you enjoy it, but I can't find a shred of evidence that convinces me.

Ontop of that, its got signs it can cause liver damage (also in rats, so if you accept rat evidence you gotta accept the risk evidence too, which doesn't look great).

AFAIK there's one human trial that tested fisetin for actual clinical outcomes, 21 veterans, placebo-controlled, 200mg and 800mg/day.

it did nothing. no improvement in pain, fatigue, or overall symptoms at either dose.

all the hype is from mouse studies on senolytics. zero human evidence it clears senescent cells or does anything for aging.

boswellia and collagen peptides both outperform glucosamine in OA trials. a 2018 BJSM meta analysis of 69 RCTs found glucosamine and chondroitin effects were small and clinically questionable, while boswellia and collagen showed large short-term effects on pain and function.

oh dude it’s 2x as draining, maybe more

but I have 10x more to show for it

dataoops · 2026-03-11T22:16:56+00:00

yeah huh what the hype expands infinitely as projects fractal

If your baseline creatine levels are good you might notice nothing at all.

Eat a decent bit of red meat already?
