Just a PSA to anyone taking fish oil supplements. I read a post a while ago about someone feeling like crap from fish oil supplements. I was curious about my own experience with it as I’ve been taking a fish oil supplement daily for easily 5+ years now.

I stopped taking it around 2 weeks ago now and I’ve noticed my brain fog has lifted significantly and I feel less fatigued. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with this?

Hi i took high dose mag for so long that i think i drove my calcium down. Do i need to supplement calcium or will food suffice

I've researched L-Citrulline-dosages a lot, but I'm still not sure at all what would be the best approach.

For general health purposes I figured out that taking L-Citrulline 2 times a day is the most convenient and more supportive than just taking it 1 time a day.

But the dosage is another story. When I asked Google AI how much Citrulline a healthy body makes itself, when you get almost 0 from the diet/supplements, it says it's just 1.5 grams. Then you would say 1.5 grams would be enough to saturate this nitric oxide-pathway.

But in all kind of studies they use 6 grams a lot, and then mainly for the "Pump" in sports, not general health purposes, and the results are less when they took like 3 grams. But if you took 3 grams 2 times a day would that be enough to get maximum general health benefits? Studies also don't really say what benefits you get from taking way more than 6 grams a day.

What's y'all opinion and thinking about L-Citrulline dosing? What y'all do yourself?

edit: And how you prevent stomach upset? Certain dosage levels you can't tolerate on an empty stomach and with a preworkout snack/meal? How do you manage the potential lower blood pressure/racing heart when taking higher amounts of L-Citrulline?

Please name the supplements that really helped you with neuroinflammation-fatigue. Thank you 🧡

I am constantly bloated. I think it’s both stress but maybe food. Maybe SIBO. I am vegan. I try not to stress but I have so much anxiety all the time. Have GAD ( general anxiety disorder)
Sometimes I feel that my belly is somehow active when I try to sleep. Then I have both anxiety and an upset stomach and can’t sleep. I have stopped taking nettles, wheat grass and chaga which I took before.
I have just started using enzymes before dinner and simeticone. Cant say I notice any difference tbh. I hate looking pregnant. Have had anorexia so looking big also causes anxiety…I have had low ferritin, but stopped taking supplement now to calm the belly. I didn’t experience many side effects from iron though as other people tells. I feel like I need something to calm the belly down. I do breathing techniques but it’s hard. The only thing that reduces anxiety is excersise. Any advice? I am lost.
What I take now: betaglucans, omega3 daily
A few times a week: d, mg, b complex , low dose c, probiotics.
Plan to try ajwain seeds and fennel.
Thinking of starting taking creatine for energy, but it’s maybe not tve right time? It can upset the stomach

I'm trying probiotics for possible histamine intolerance and overall better gut health. I've had some instances where I felt unwell after taking one, but I've read that some people empty a small amount out of the capsule to take a smaller dose to start with and gradually increase. I'm trying this now with some success, but I'm throwing out the rest of the capsule. I thought the rest wouldn't be OK to take later after opening the capsule. This is a huge waste and I'm wondering if I can take the rest of the capsule later or the next day. If so, how would I store it? Does anyone do this? Do the probiotics start going bad once out of the capsule?

My first time ordering from California Gold Nutrition. Both supplements don’t list the expiration date. They only have the LOT and the MFG at the bottom (pic 2). All I care about is knowing the expiration date of the supplements I bought but they are not listening it anywhere on the bottles. How do I know the expiration date? And why are they making life harder for their consumers?

If anyone knows how to figure out the expiration date please let me know. My first and last time ordering from this company.

I take around 200mg of elemental magnesium in the form of magnesium bisglycinate. I sleep for 7 or 8 hours, apparently my REM and deep sleep are in range, but I always wake up tired, brain fogged... It improves a little throughout the day...

Does anyone have the same experience with magnesium bisglycinate or glycinate?

Hi! For the last few days I read many questions here about collagen, if it’s really working and doing anything at all. So i decided to write this post and share my own experience. 

I started taking collagen supplements after 40, because my skin began to change, all those big pores, more wrinkles, tired look and everything. But it took me almost a year to choose the right collagen for me. I started with bovine collagen in caps, but somehow it gave me problems with my stomach. Then I tried fish collagen in powder, no side effects at all, but the taste was awful, I couldn’t force myself to buy another bottle the next month. So I decided to make my own homemade bone broth. I tried to make it from chicken, and it was really good, sometimes it even set into a jelly consistence in my fridge and was so tasty. But after 2-3 weeks I was so full of it that I couldn’t even see it, not cook or eat any more. Then I tried different collagen powder tastes, but they all seemed too artificial for me, and I still felt this fish taste. And finally I fond the one from nutraharmony. It’s not only fish, bovine and chicken also, and it’s in capsules, so no more fish taste. And no side effects for my stomach. Now I see changes not only for my skin, but also joints - they do feel more flexible.

BUT what’s also important, don’t expect some noticeable changes from the first pills of collagen supplements or first bowls of bone broth. Collagen needs time to work, like a lot of time, 3, 4, 6 months, all about individual needs. So be preparred to take it for months without noticing huge changes, the most important here is - don’t give up. But the final results still may vary for different people.

Hope this will help somebody to reach their goals! If you have questions, please ask.

Fulvic acid heavy metal detox

Hey guys,

I’m looking into fulvic and humic acids for potential intracellular heavy metal detoxification.
I’ve heard that I might also need an extracellular binder to help bind and eliminate mobilized metals.

For those experienced with fulvic/humic acids, is combining them with an extracellular binder necessary?

If so, which natural binders would you recommend?

I’m personally not a fan of synthetic binders or chelators.
Any tips or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

curious if anyone does the same - the reason i take 500mg is because our local drug store (London Drugs) has their own brand of vitamins and have sold 'regular' niacin for years. my mom was really into vitamins growing up and used to give me huge cocktails for no reason that would make me nauseous... but the one vitamin i've continued to take because i learned to love the flush was niacin

i can't say i always flush, sometimes its super intense, sometimes mild

i've been taking it ALMOST daily for like 10 years, starting as a teenager

unfortunately i see online a lot of stuff that says its not good for you at that dose, especially for no reason

:(

but i also understand that it is breaks down into good stuff, is it just hard on the liver? should i be concerned

It’s the enervit chocolate chip smoothie protein powder. I can’t find much information on it. The bigger protein powders have the plastic outer seal and the inner safety seal, but this one is smaller and only has the plastic outer seal.

Any one else faced this issue, i had tata 1mg magnesium

I'm wondering if combining ashwagandha and saffron is a good idea for improving mood, reducing stress and managing anxiety.

Has anyone tried this combination? Did you notice any benefits, and if so, how long did it take to feel a difference?

I'm thinking about buying their Omega-3 and wanted to hear from people who have tried it. How is the quality, and have you noticed any difference compared to other brands?

Ive heard that l theanine is supposed to help for anxiety and overthinking, but unfortunately im not allowed to take it since its supposed to lower blood pressure, are there any alternatives with the same results? Ive been taking magnesium glycinate 150mg since two days, im still feeling the same but i had alot of vivid dreams

Hopefully I can remember all this.

Daily I take several supplements.

Boron 3mg twice a day, I was cycling this, 2 weeks on and 1-2 weeks off but many have said 3mg doesn’t need cycled

Ashwaganda once daily, i am cycling off this now.

Vitamin D3-K2 once daily

Fish oil 3000MG daily (doctor prescribed), 3 pills makes 3000MG, 2 in the morning and one at night

Pycnogenol 100mg once daily (night time)

L-arginine & Ornithine 2000MG daily, 1 pill in the morning and 2 at bed or around dinner

Men’s once a day (vthrive bioactive once a day)

And I take a 25mg thyroid pill 3 days a week in the morning (doctor prescribed)

So i usually take these in 2 setting with Metamucil. One stack in the morning and the rest at night. Not thinking that I should split these up to have more effect. Is that true? Can anyone shine light on this? How should I split them up?

I’m also considering adding an aged garlic to this stack but need to research more about it.

Any helps appreciated
