Whenever I feel panicked (faced some traumatizing stuff in the last couple of months), taking NAC calms me down tremendously. My thoughts are no longer all over the place and I can focus on the things I need to do for the day. I only take NAC for acute situations instead of regularly because it also prevents me from falling asleep most of the time.

Hi,

Are there any supplements that people have found help with chronic depression and anhedonia?
I also have severe ADHD and I take methylphenidate for it but I still have motivation problems.

Thanks

Hi folks.

I started taking a lot of supplements to help me manage my ssri withdrawal (paroxetine), since I am reducing my dose and plan to eventually stop taking them.

After a month my withdrawal symptoms are getting better but I've had an unexpected additional effect.

CONTEXT

I've had quadriceps tendinitis for more than 6 months now and it's gotten progressively worse, to the point that I could not perform a simple squat. Mind you I am 30, and been training consistently for 4 years now and never had any problems with my knees. This pain started in a very messy and stressful moment of my life. I've also had treatments done at my physiotherapy studio, tried rest, tried strengthening my knees, but nothing worked.

And now it's almost 70% gone. I can easily do multiple deep squats now, not completely pain free, but it's SUCH a big improvement!

I'd like to know your opinion on which of my supplements helped me with this inflammation.

Here's my list:

Longlife EPA DHA Gold - breakfast and dinner

Folic acid 400 (prescribed for high homocysteine) - breakfast

Longlife Vitamin k-2 gold - dinner

Vitamin D3 - breakfast

General probiotics for gut health - breakfast and dinner

Longlife Magnesium bisglycinate - 2 tablets at dinner

I (44m) started taking boron an out a month about 3mg morning and 3 evening. I took it for a couple weeks and then stopped for a week cause that’s what I read to do. I noticed after about a week I started to get turned on all the time. I’d get erections when I’m driving like I haven’t for a long time. I still get erections at night but seems to be more pleasurable erections now with the boron. I’m not complaining at all cause I love the sensation but I’m trying to narrow if it’s boron. I feel it is cause after the first week I started feeling different then I took a break and things settled. I’m back on it now and it’s happening again. Can I continue to take 6mg per day? Or will it have negative effects long term?

any advice appreciated

I take 3500 iu of D and 1000 mcg of B12 daily.

My numbers are still low :(

Anyone else? How much are you all taking?

In the uk Melatonin is prescription medicine and hella expensive
Brands like this comes in clutch £23 for 180 pills including shipping WOWWWWWWWW😛😛😛😛
I have a pill cutter too gonna split one pill into 4

RiboCeine can only be manufactured by one company and is sold for around $80 on amazon. Is there a cheaper alternative that’s trusted?

Oral glutathione capsules shouldn’t be taken because it’s destroyed in the stomach.

Glutathione IV can cost over $10,000 annually.

Cellgivity has RiboCeine (made by same manufacturer) and cost around the same $80. Amazon seems like the very few ways to purchase them which haven’t heard about dupes/fakes from amazon yet.

Glynac aka Celltrient Protect Capsules around $80, but people say take NAC and glycine as separate supplements. Glycine $11 and NAC $6 the cheapest so far.

Side effects like digiestive, in uric acid at risk gout and
“High concentrations of ribose reacting with body proteins through a non-enzymatic process called glycation, forming harmful advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) much faster than glucose.”

I plan to get my levels from doctor; ribose and glutathione so i dont have excess when taking supplements. Is there any other labs I should ask about?

But which oral method do you find most effective, where do you get yours?

Despite that i work most of the day from 8am to 10pm, when i go back home i can't sleep, until 4 or 5 am.

Tried some supplements,

Magnesium glycinate, herbal teas and several supplements formulas which have valerian, passion flower, lemon balm, l theanine and didn't do anything.

Then after some research here decided to try low dose melatonin, 500mcg, then 1 and 2 mgs without noticing anything positive or negative.

120mg

4 days of taking it.

I have never had an issue falling asleep in my life.

Only thing I’ve added to my routine recently.

Stopping immediately 😭

I started taking the Nootropics Micromag and I have noticed it seems as if my Vyvanse isnt as effective as it usually is. I also notice I am SOO tired, like exhausted tired. I have a desk job, so it's not like I am physically exhausting myself. I don't feel anything has changed in my life, other than starting these after finishing my bottle of Qunol Mag Glycinate.

I know the Micromag is supposed to be a mix of different forms of Mag, so could this be the culprit? I feel I am a bit more irritable, but I am unsure if it has anything to do with that.

Pls recommend something that actually works and isn’t magnesium, ashwaganda or kava. I have tried them all.
Thanks love you

Can someone explain to me what the difference here is? I initially started taking Gly-NAC to regulate liver enzymes. I then came to find out that NAC also can calm thoughts. I need this. The GLY-NAC seems to do absolutely nothing for me mentally. I need to find out if NAC will settle down the things that roll around my head nonstop.

I was given this by my medic due to a dosage of b12 of 30pg/ml.

(Update) Ok so the image won't work but it's multi vitamins of B1 125mg B6 140mg B12 5000mg

I'm afraid of neuropathy for the 140mg of b6, my medic told me to take them for a month to see if the b12 goes back to normal.

Hi all I am looking for a good quality brand of black maca, I have used it before, to increase test and libido but it did absolutely nothing for me, I was using a good brand, so I thought, but, would like to give it another go!

57 yo (m), in good health, a good diet, i don't take meds, or smoke, Testosterone is measured as normal, any recoes would be gratefully received.

I live in France, so maybe certain brands may not be available in Europe, unless they are on Iherb👍🏻.

Thanks all.

Hello!

I struggle with swallowing pills and I like taking magnesium but the only ones I can find are huge capsules usually around an inch. I was trying to find out if Thorne’s capsules are small, but I can’t find any info. Does anyone have any recommendations for smaller mag glycinate capsules?
