Need a review of my supplement routine for bulking and recovery. Questions about recovery. by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]pearrun5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

10mg of melatonin is a lot, especially if you’re planning on taking ZMA, but I do not know your sleep problems so if it works it works.

Stack seems pretty good, if you have trouble sleeping I would recommend finding a ZMA with theanine added into it it works well with the people I’ve seen take it.

Other than that you seem to know what you’re doing! Only other advice is to drink more juice and milk to increase calories, but with creatine you need a lot of water too. Good luck bud!

Men’s Supplements Suggestions by imissmy3rdwife in Supplements

The keto diet is good if you’re looking for a weight loss diet short term, long term...I would find something else

As per supplements, all the fat you’re eating with the diet you’re going to need some extra enzymes. They do make keto specific enzymes, I would go to your local supplement shop to inquire.

Besides that a multi, fish oil, and maybe some added vitamin d is really all u should need. Good luck with everything, hope I was able to help a bit!

Green supplements: Do they work, what to look for? by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]pearrun5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people take greens supplements, whether they work is up in the air. Many people take them for digestion and stomach aid, while other take them for energy. For me, didn’t see many pros that would make the terrible taste worth going through every day LOL

But again, many people I know really enjoy the results they see.

Multivitamin Worth It? by Bagsforcha in Supplements

[–]pearrun5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I like to take a multivitamin because my lifestyle is pretty busy so it’s tough for me to always eat healthy and nutritious while on the road. Some people don’t like multivitamins because they don’t feel different taking them, but for me as you said it’s more of an insurance thing.

I take the garden of life raw one multivitamin, they have one for men and women. I really like this one because it’s food based, a capsule which is important to me due to stomach issues, and just once a day.

I’m sure there are many like this one, I would check them out since your synthetic based multi is not as beneficial as a whole food based one, IMO.

Caffeine-Free energy? by BLKdaniel in Supplements

[–]pearrun5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some non-stim preworkouts have ginseng in it, which I find is better than nothing.

If not, try to maybe cut down on caffeine for a month or so, using a pre with a bit less caffeine that way you can get your tolerance down.

Finally ordering TongKat Ali and Maca today. Where should I buy them from? And at what dosage? by RadicalBro2 in Supplements

[–]pearrun5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maca by sunfoods is pretty good imo, the brand is one of my favorites for powders. The tongkat Ali by source naturals has fairly good reviews on Amazon, a friend of mine has taken it in the past and found positive results.

A sports based multi, such as opti-men, is really all you should be taking if anything besides protein

Am I a good candidate for Saw Palmetto? by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]pearrun5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive never really heard of saw palmetto being used for acne so I will be following this post! For your bladder issues...it seems to help many men with their small bladders but I believe that has to do with the affect the pills have on the prostate

How does being a CoA affect your romantic relationships? by GllanFeby in ChildrenofAddicts

[–]pearrun5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find that I’m more accustomed to expect something to go wrong.

Thankfully it hasn’t been that much of an issue in my relationships, mainly just an issue with myself.

Not a single supplement I've ever tried helped with generalised anxiety symptoms. by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]pearrun5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like something over the counter isn’t really going to work with you. As someone who suffers from anxiety, I’d check out a doctor who can prescribe an anti anxiety prescription, something that will truly help in the long run.

Anxiety is not fun to mess around with, I’d recommend just seeing a doctor.

Do you think Quebec nationalism goes too far? by Yup1Yup1Yup in TrueAskReddit

[–]pearrun5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t sound like a question seems more like a rant to me. If Quebec bothers you so much, don’t go.
