>>77165159Missing so much desu
>>77165161supplements are supplements, not replacements. you got filtered by being too stupid to realize this
>>77165159
>>77165159this is fine for general health but that is a high dose of zinc and if you take 50mg long term you will deplete your copper levels. consider taking it 2 or 3 times a week instead if you must. Or get a 15-30mg zinc supplement with 1-2mg copper. Other than that your stack is unremarkable. I’m not too bought into collagen I think your body just breaks it down like any other protein, no? Unflavored gelatin is cheaper generally by the way and as far as I know is essentially the same. Most Americans are deficient in magnesium, that’s probably a safe bet. And vitamin C is a good, cheap preventative. Before taking anything consider if it is worth it to you or if you could simply improve your diet. For me, it’s simply d3+k2, magnesium, creatine.
>>77165159I used to consume fish regularly, but developed an aversion to them entirely. So now I take fish oil daily, D3, and Magnesium in the evening.
>>77165159I just take NAC and magnesium glycinate
>>77165161Good thing literally nobody said anything about supplements replacing anything.
>>77165292>>77166470>Noooo you dont get it, im not scared of eating real food it's just that i need my extra mystery pills because....uuuh...There's two explanations then Either you're a medication/drug addict, or you wont admit having a carence or lack of nutrients because you dont consume x or y food. Nonetheless enjoy your liver and kidney problems. Im sure ingesting that shit is beneficial.
>>77166473No idea why you cited me with your totally irrelevant vitriolic rant.
>its the carence anon again
>>77166476To spite you
Vitamin C is not necessary and you will just piss it out. Zinc at 50mg is too high of dosage, and even at a lower dosage zinc needs to be cycled.200mg of magnesium is on the low end, recommendations for supplementation are in the 350-400mg range (but honestly it's fine). Add vitamin D, 3000 IE minimum. Also add some omega 3 (make sure the supplement has a 2:1 DHA/EPA ratio).>NOW Foods UC-II Joint HealthLooked it up and it's some meme supplement that's just calcium and seaweed. Not necessary unless you're 65 years old.
>>77165159is taking iron supplements a stupid idea? i have symptoms of iron deficiency, but i eat meat and i use cast iron cookware. basically i'm extremely tired all the day, cold hands/feet and have brittle nails and hair. could it be thyroid?
>>77166491It could be a lot of things, anon. Iron deficiency is more likely if you are a biologic woman. Could be a b12 deficiency. If you have access to a doctor it’s really easy to go get blood work just explain your symptoms and tell them you think you have a deficiency. If you don’t have a doctor or insurance I believe you can just pay for that kind of testing out of pocket through labcorp or similar.
>>77166491Get blood work done if and see if you're actually deficient in iron before taking supplements for it. Too much iron can lead to health problems as well. As for your symptoms could be a million things. Feeling tired + brittle nails and hair could be a zinc deficiency. Could be a thyroid issue as well like you said. Could be any number of things.
>discussing supplementation without establishing diet firstsure is high IQ here
>>77166491Look up lactoferrin
