A balanced diet and lots of sunshine.

Was on D3 and fish oil as well. The effect went away after a couple of days. My advice is to eat healthy and drink a lot of water. I stopped using supplements because some experts mentioned that if you eat healthy, a 'normal' person doesn't need supplements. They also mentioned that by taking high doses of vitamins, your body is used to it after a while and also ditches most of it. I don't know if your body becomes 'addicted' to it, meaning that you're setting yourself up for trouble, but that doesn't seem illogical to me.

During the winter months D3 is always better than antidepressants.

Also, avoid sugar as much as possible. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water first.

Supplements and vitamins are scam, you are not deficient in nothing as they would want you to believe.

Its all just to make money off naive people, its nothing but processed garbage that will fuck you up. I was taking lot of different things and now i got off it and i feel better.

Nobody did studies on long term impact of these vitamins, as long at it doesn't kill you right away its good enough for them to sell to public, say if in 10 or 20 years you die from cancer who will link that supplement you have been taking to the cancer? they ll just say 'too bad, he just got cancer'

If you live in a developed country and are eating a non-vegan diet, you don't need supplements.

The only dietary measure that has been proven to extend longevity is caloric restriction.

Just eat FOODS that have the micro nutrients. For macro nutrients go high fat, low carbs. That eat less, more diet crap is garbage. It came out in like the 70's and obesity is on the rise more so than ever. Yes do exercise though.

For certain things, you can even fast. Like fasting can have a significant increase in growth hormone and your adrenaline and stuff.

My supplements are to treat my PVCs, generally (premature ventricular contractions, a form of heart palpitation). Without treatment, I get bombarded by thousands of them every day, often several minutes of solid Bigeminy or every 2-3 beats.

It's something the doctors are still quite behind the times on and haven't acknowledged officially (although I've been seeing official recognition increasing over the last year), but for many people it's basically a vagus nerve dysfunction. The vagus nerve runs past both the stomach and heart. If the stomach gets irritated, it can irritate the nerve in turn, which sets off extra beats in the heart.

So I take magnesium which helped a bit on its own, idea being it helps regulate nerve health, and I also take some acid reflux medication. I find that I have few palpitations if it's been at least 4 hours since eating because the stomach settles down (which means I avoid snacking - the fewer the meals, the better), and the typical onslaught I get after eating has been reduced to manageable levels.

Dude, you do NOT need iron, in fact most men have too much of it!

This may well be the 1 thing that allows women to live longer than men, the fact that for most of their lives they're expelling excess iron from their period bleeding, but men don't.

That shit literally goes rusty inside you, ie oxidizes, which is why we take so many antioxidants. I actually give blood in order to get rid of my excess iron; you sure as hell don't need to supplement with it.

Unless you're a vegan, in which case you're beyond common sense anyway.

I'm trying to find out how fast I grow in the gym without ANY supplements. I have a decent diet, but don't feel hesitation to eat only hamburgers for a day.. I feel great.. I don't believe in supplements. It seems unnatural to me and most of them feel like a farce we were made to believe.. As everything else in the world, a market was created for these products, the question whether your body has enough nutrients made up to sell you products. Creating demand really is a thing.

So, I eat about 3700 calories a day, sometimes balanced sometimes not at all. Be out and about, be outside and have fun.. I don't take these b/s products serious, cause it's the nature of capitalism to make people think they need something which you can then sell.. Drink enough water and eat enough of most things. Unless you wanna get ripped, it really doesn't matter whether you "hit your protein" every day.. Actually I grew 14 KG in a year with this method, most of it muscle.

People might disagree, that's fine. Most of nutritional research is being pushed by companies that want you to buy their stuff. The rest is because people like to push their way on others. "Keto made me feel so much better" - "I can't handle carbs/gluten/whatever"

Buy nutribullet or similar blender, blend 5-7 organic vegetables and fruits every day, eat organic meats, stay away from processed foods, exercise and you wont need any of these "supplements" with questionable claims

Its that simple, no miracles, no magic pills and powders

I am now 56 and for years I have tried various supplements and virtually give up on all of them. I tried D3 to help with blood pressure since it has been going up during the winters. Never seemed to help. Instead I now go to Vegas or Arizona for several weeks in February to hike and bike in the sun. That helps a lot. I have tried various testosterone boosters and there is only one I will use that doesn't affect blood pressure but need to cycle it's use over 6 weeks. The one supplement I found that works and still use is hydrolyzed collagen. I had been suffering from Achilles tendinitis for over a year. I came across a runners blog talking about using this for a treatment. Nothing else worked so I tried it. Not only did it work for that but it has rebuilt the cartilage in my knees, ankles, and shoulders. I am now pain free for a year and more active than ever. The only other supplement I found that works for me is turmeric curcumin for my cluster headaches.
