Hi Chris, I will start by saying I am a fan of your show, you and what you stand for. But, if we mere mortals buy into everything the price is through the rooof. Granted there's a discount but is there any chance you can recommend supplements for the average Joe who earns 35k a year. A months supply of your faves is way over 250 per month. We all can't afford this.
Better to get your magnesium naturally: bananas, nuts, dark chocolate, avocados, fatty fish, leafy greens. If you eat a healthy balanced diet, you don't need supplements like this.
@@ChewieOnTwoWheels Disagree. I had a good diet but it wasn't until I supplemented with magnesium that I cured my asthma. I'm guessing depleted soils or drinking water lacking in minerals. Whatever, cheap magnesium oxide worked overnight.

Vit D and K2(MK7) is probably the most important supplement pair for every human on the planet. Especially for those people like me who live in shit climates where it’s cold or we barely see the sun…
lol I live in the opposite climate, where I can't go in the sun for 30 seconds because it burns...even at 7am in the morning. So I stay out of it and take the supplements...but I still get burnt when I have to go out in the sun and am not in the mood to smother my face with sunscreen, because I hate the feel of it and having to remove it. Grass is not greener, just a different colour my friend! 🙂
Same here.. love being outside on nice days but slopping that greasy crap all over me is off-putting.. I tend to go out after the dangerous times of sun strength or cover up with spf clothing. I've tried at least 30 different brands of sunscreen too.. one of the better ones is anthelios invisible 50+ It's still a bit greasy I intially When applying but rapidly beco es unnoticeable in terms of feel and appearance.. not cheap though but better than burning or skin cancer.. give it a try if u can get it. Washes off ok too and is not Tooooo bad as far as staining your clothes collars and cuffs, which is another thing I hate about suncreen.
Blew my Achilles out 6 months ago. Played tons of sports growing up and football in college. I 100% can confirm that getting back into your sport, after years of not playing, is a recipe for injury. Take it very slow and build up to it before going all out
Diet is major too! If you're on an high inflammation kind of diet(sugar, seed oils, allergies, ECT) and not putting the necessary foods and supplements in your body to recover, injury is definitely a high possibility. I feel like an 80 year old man on inflammation diet and have thrown my back out just simply standing up from the couch. Definitely sucked and put me out of commission for a few weeks but when I'm on a good diet(healthy keto for me with IF) my body feels prime and overall body movement smooth and efficient like a well oiled machine.
I tore my achilles tendon in my calf pushing a Hummer up into my driveway at 55 years old. My calf swelled up to the size of my thigh and I could barely walk with a cane. Nothing was helping the swelling or the pain, so about 3 days later I started taking a tablespoon of turmeric (from the grocery store) with black pepper twice a day and in less than a week the swelling was gone and as well as 95% of the pain. I was able to walk again without the cane in a few days and within a month it was completely healed. To the dismay of my wife, I never went to the doctor....but as you can see, I didn't need to and it healed up just fine!
Magnesium stopped my PVCs and cramping in muscles (I haven't had a charley horse in the middle of the night since I started it). I absolutely love magnesium
@@almaburns6562 I do a capsule of magnesium citrate in the am and I take one serving (2 capsules) of magnesium glycinate before bed. Citrate helps keep me regular 💩 and glycinate helps sleep. Theyve worked great for me. There's also a bit of magnesium in the electrolytes I take daily for hydration
Magnesium Oxide has really poor bioavailability. Not sure why an esteemed medical doctor such as Attia is recommending it over Magnesium Glycinate which has been proven time and time again with its excellent bioavailability.
@@swapnilraj5639I've seen him recommend it before he's not really against it ,its probably that its just more accessible because glycinate usually cost more
I personally discovered that elevated doses of the combination of Serrapeptase and Nattokinase helps me immensely with pain, especially mouth pain (dental work) and headaches. Haven't tried elevated doses for body aches yet. I'll have to analyze that.
Achilles / ligament / tendon tears are related to Liver issues in Classical Chinese Medicine. I see it all the time with patients. I work on their livers with acupuncture, herbs and diet -- and, probably most importantly -- laying off the alcohol. I've never seen a compliment get their joints way better when following this approach. Even really old injuries, tears and surgeries get way better / completely better with this. Considering Chris's openness about being a regular imbiber, I'd guess that his achilles tear had at least something to do with this.
What about vitamin D? 20 to 30 minutes of sunlight a day will satisfy our daily needs, but I think there is a tremendous amout of people that don't do that. Especially in the cold winter months in northern regions.
@@IssaMeZane magnesium is essential in the metabolism of D3 and yes, it may not cause an issue with a lot of people at lower doses but a lot of people are already deficient in magnesium. My point is that people shouldn't just start popping vitamins, they can cause further imbalances and do more harm than good. I've done my research thank you very much.
@@Lieutenant-Dan Thanks mate, I study this, I understand you have done your research but - You don't necessarily need to undergo a blood test just to determine if you should take supplements like vitamin D, magnesium, or omega-3s, especially if you're using them for common issues like cramps or sleep. These supplements are often safe for the average person to take without specific testing, as they're generally considered beneficial for overall health. However, if you have specific concerns or conditions that may affect your nutrient levels, consulting a healthcare professional can help you make informed decisions about supplementation. Otherwise, incorporating these supplements into your routine based on common needs or preferences is generally sufficient.
2:13 on creatine I don't know Tim Ferris's take on Creatine, but I will take a wild guess and say there's a misunderstanding here. Peter is talking about the old-school "loading phase", which indeed isn't needed. But I'm guessing Tim's take goes along the lines of _always_ taking 10-20g creatine instead of 5g - there seems to be some very slight evidence on why this might be beneficial, but we will need more time to be sure - still, since creatine intake has virtually no drawbacks, some people rather have potentially excess of creatine than lack of it (I believe Huberman is, currently, in this camp of thought as well). Also, regarding Peter's suggestion about decreasing creatine intake in case you have some kind of IBS, you can indeed do that, but there's another way around it: just split your daily dose into two or three servings and spread them across the day (e.g: instead of 5g/1x/day turn it into 2.5g/2x/day) and your tummy will be fine.
I remember hearing 10g loading 1-2g surfing (even without the IBS) from ye olden days, do I misremember something, new science, healthmaxxing/inflation?

Also a sprinter in high school but now 66, 160 lbs. Thirty-five years of office work and couch potato.

No Achilles injury but numerous setbacks everywhere else...hamstrings, knees, feet, lower back...no fun getting old.
@@astroAl76you’d still be more physically fit than most 20 year olds nowadays. Chin up. You’ve got many more years of suffering on this earth with us than you think 🤪
1. Magnesium Glycinate 2. B-Complex 3. Zinc 4. Krill Oil 5. Collagen 6. Creatine 7. HMB I take all of these in capsule form. Is it ok to take them all in the morning or should I take them at different times to get the full benefit?
@@Rocko1990 I do 2 before the gym and 2 after, the capsules are a little bigger than most--they hold about 750mg each. I get plenty of creatine from other food sources throughout the day so it's just to cover my bases with it. Making my own capsules is quite annoying busy work for me and I just don't have the tim, used to make them with other things in the past though.
He knows very little, he takes magnesium oxide, thats all you need to know to ascertain his minimal research in the matter. These people are not "experts" they're podcast bro's. Even the "experts" are almost always clueless shills. You have to do your own research, and if you do in 1 week you'll learn more than this guy knows about health.
Omega-3 has become very controversial in the medical world since a few very big studies came out that showed no benefit (ASCEND study and VITAL study) The guidlines are still from earlier, smaller studies and are slow to be adapted (maybe because of the big industry behind it)
i expected something like this... Looking to boost your health and longevity? Start by incorporating top supplements such as Omega-3 for heart health, Metformin for blood sugar regulation, Resveratrol for anti-aging, Magnesium Citrate for muscle and nerve function, and Zinc to support immune health. Combine these with life-enhancing activities like yoga, which can naturally boost testosterone levels, and intermittent fasting, known for its numerous health benefits including improved metabolic efficiency. Remember, a disciplined approach to nutrition and physical activity can significantly enhance your vitality and overall well-being. Embrace these habits with a spirit of determination and reverence for life
Good form but it does contribute to oxalate formation for those on low oxalate diet...I like a blend of malate glycinate and citrate...which help bowl movements and helps mitigate oxalates as Citrate are good for this..potassium and calcium citrate...great at bedtime
Gotta Love the Unreal in the background! I saw the behnde the scenes and was blown away, please add some Spaceships & Nebulas, and of course, More of Dr Attia!
Man your production is insane!! WOW! May I ask if you are using a laser projection or rear projection or it is a fancy screen similar to the ones are used in movies? It would be highly appreciated ❤🙏
Vit D3 with K2 would be a good idea. Best to get bloods done, tweak the diet and supplement then re test. Also (as mentioned) genes can play a role in the uptake of vits.
TMG is Trimethyl Glycine (Betaine) it is different than Methyl B Vitamins (active forms ) even though they both donate methyl groups. TMG is best for reducing homocysteine.
He really can't do that, for 2 reasons. 1. There's not much good medical research on most of these supplements studying the efficacy and possible side effects at different dosages. The ideal dosage also depends on many factors such as weight, age, metabolism, etc. 2. If he gave specifics he'd be legally liable if somebody had negative effects at the amount he recommended.
Here' s what I take Acetyl L-carnitine R lipoic acid Taurine NAC Glycine B complex Magnesium Omega 3 Balsamic vinegar/olive oil Berberine Vitamin D 6000 iu Vit K2 Then I take antioxidants only on days when I'm NOT expending lots of energy/working out.( 4 days a week ) Vit C, E ( full spectrum ), astaxanthin
I don't really like answers where you say: "What should I be doing, for general health" and Peter Attia responds with "ehhhh well it's complicated, depends, details, titrations, etc etc", followed up with "yeah well I'm basically doing it for general benefit, it's all-around good" so what was the point of the speech about how it's complicated, depends on your titrations, etc? Is Peter Attia actually suggesting that the average person should track intake of "several different types of magnesium"? In general, with Peter Attia, I think what you need to get up-front is a statement on his certainty relative to his current claims or practices. How likely is he to discard this practice in 1-2 years because he's basically just experimenting with his own body, and it doesn't give good data?
I think thats the point of the preamble at the beginning right? he's fully aware that his statements and certainly his own regiment is not going to be optimal for a large group of people. Also, he hosts hour long podcasts on these various topics where they do deep dives into the current literature. I don't think its a bad thing to change as the science and evidence changes. Before he was a big proponent of fasting, low carb, keto etc. I'd rather that then someone who chooses a hill to die on regardless of new research that may challenge that belief.
Overall what supplements are the best... I take vit D with vit k mk7, zinc, magnesium multivitamin and NAC almost every other day. I have been thinking of taking Berberine and tumeric soon . Any others you would recommend? Love the videos and info thanks
You are doing great. Make sure your iron levels are fine (too much zinc may be a problem in that matter) Omega 3 is also important For resveratrol, if you don't eat dark grapes and dark chocolate, you might consider that too Talk to your doctor after a blood test
Thanks for this great talk. I'm already taking 4 of them (no TMG yet, but planning to add it), but tbh I was starting to consider stopping curcumin. I'm hearing more and more people telling there's no benefit, and even some drawbacks, taking it. At 2:12 I'm not sure who you were thinking about, but Andrew Huberman takes from 10 to 15 g of creatine daily. He says the amount should be based on your body weight, and he's quite heavy (around 100kg).
Can confirm that Methylated B Vitamins have done wonders for my homocysteine levels. Unfortunately, many doctors, including my own, still recommend folic acid.
@@Rocko1990 I have C667T, both. Don't know if it's different. But I went from four times the maximum recommended homocysteine levels, to within the normal range
Surely alot of supplements out there are placebo. However most, if not all of what is mentioned here, has double blind studies done with a placebo group involved to make sure they are truly effective.
I’ve recently ruptured my Achilles. 5 weeks into recovery. Thinking about starting PBC157 and TB500 to speed up recovery as I need to get back to work ASAP. Does anyone have any advice on this.
I would say you only really need vitamin D in the winter in most parts of the states at least and during cloudy days. If you get outside and move or if you work outside you don’t really need the supplement. If you’re in somewhere like the UK where you get like a sunny day a year than you probably need it.
@@mattpolinsky4234 the only way your skin creates the correct amount of vitamin D is if you are a day laborer out in the sun ALL day. Anyone who works indoors needs to supplement in some way. That said, your food might be enough supplementation on its own depending on your diet to meet your needs. The thing is that the effects are brutal when you are low on vitamin D to the point where it's safer to just take it year round. Plus, one of the omega supplements they mentioned Nordic Naturals (and I'm sure many others) has a version that contains D which is nice since it's fat soluble and makes it easier to just take all the time.
My husband has ruptured his Achilles and ruined his knee trying to be athletic, too quickly, as an adult. And yes, he was a basketball player. He got a trainer who was NOT trained well, and had him doing explosive dynamic sprints a week into training. He also advised him to do a “cleanse” with water, cayenne and maple syrup for two weeks…and he is a construction worker who sweats all day long. I was mortified when I learned all this. I absolutely called the gym. That gym fired 3 of the trainers he had. Don’t get me started.
He really missed the question on creatine, When asked about much higher doses 10-20 grams, the benefits were not workout related, and it was not about loading, There are other studies that show 10 or more grams per day have benefits beyond working out, more into the cognitive brain benefits and others.
@@SariPutri-x6v I think the use of the word supplement was tongue in cheek here. Kind of pointing to the idea that these things are a lot more important
Hey Dr Attia, is the jab and the boosters still on your list as a critical supplement? Chris, big fan. I wish someone would ask him about his history of promoting and utilizing the jab in his practice.
Homocysyeine levels were higher for 3 blood panels so i asked dr who said nothing what should i do. She added folate. 1000 mg. No improvement after months. I did my own research and started taking methylated B 6 and i am now down to normal altho i would like to get it lower so i will try methylated B.s generally. Currently i take 1000 methylated B6 and a regular B vit.
No it's no he couldn't even remember he took omega 3s lol he doesn't remember the differences in Omega 3 forms which is a simple chemistry so clearly his particular cocktail isn't working @@rand_longevity
I'd considered taking TB-500 and BPC-157 when I broke my hip a couple of months back, but I couldn't quite afford it with all of the other supplements that I need to take. Now, it's still a consideration although the idea is competing with a consideration for Nefiracetam.
I forget who said it...maybe it was Ronda Patrick, but they talked about how the delivery system is a bit different between the two so they take both fish oil and krill oil.
I got back into football when my kids started playing. I thought I was in ok shape from the gym. Damaged my ankle not once but twice. It seems certain movements are NOT conditioned in the gym!
I think a lot of podcasters are getting kickbacks from supplement companies. Very few if any of the longest living people took magnesium supplements, creatine or any of the rest of this stuff.
Apparently long back they drank a lot of groundwater with all the minerals still in. Now water is ultra purified. Creatine in beef etc. No refined foods. Moved around a bit more. Fasted more...usually involuntarily.😁 So basically life has evolved.
Because most of them had a much healthier diet & lifestyle....the modern American diet is the worst on the planet with overly processed foods, too much sugar & simple carbs & produce grown in depleted soil lacking nutrients....supplements are needed because of these.
I wonder why Vitamin D3 was not mentioned. Imo it's worth talking about since most people have insufficient levels due to the lack of sun exposure. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
the conversation is about which supplements Peter takes - he probably doesn’t need to supplement D3. They’re not talking about recommendations for people in general.
Magnesium is great if you’re deficient…I watched a few of his older videos and started taking it just to feel weak, started to have palpitations and lots of diarrhea. Take it if you need it - I don’t need it - stopped taking it and within a week it all went back to normal (my BP is below 120/80 and resting pulse 48 - I’m over 60 and take no medications).
Very interesting. I take magnesium malate, glycinate and theronate - my system does not like oxide for some reason. I can attest that TMG lowers HCY. Mine came back at 9, started with TMG and several months later, my homocysteine was at 6. I am homozygous with both COMTs and this can create difficulty in clearing methyl donors. For me, too many methyl donors cause horrible brain fog and the feeling there is a motor running inside my body. Started with Hydroxy and Adenosol along with Folinic acid. The other Bs were taken separately. Then added a trace mineral complex. Once my methylation cycle improved, I was able to add methylated B vitamins back in, but only a few times a week. Also rotate other methyl supplements like the TMG, curcumin, etc.
Apparently Omega-3's are only helpful for ppl with heart problems already. I've started ALA since I don't eat fish and have high VLDL & triglycerides and it's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
Homocystein can be normalized with creatine, too. Especially is B12 is normal. Methylcobalin isn't stable! You may needs a lot more of it than from cyanocobalamin.
Methylcobalamin B12 is much better absorbed than cyanocobalamin which has to be converted in the body & is not efficient....cyanocobalamin can also be toxic & is more of a synthetic form.
I do blood test every 6 months. My homocysteine levels were at 10.2 umol/L . I took folate everyday for 6 months and it was in the 7's. I was taking any other supplements and I wasn't eating alot of kale or spinach. Probably the cheapest and easiest way to get your levels down.
Dr Jeremy London cardiologist suggests for heart taking magnesium glycinate or magnesium L-Threonate, coq10, and omega 3. Mag oxide is one of the cheapest not great for being digestible. Surprised the doc mentioned that he takes that.
Check out Supercross Champion Eli Tomac's comeback from his Achilles blowout last year. This year he has already came back to win a main event and running top 5 in the championship standings.
Adequate Magnesium levels can be had with diet alone, with a diet rich in legumes and dark, green, leafy vegetables. Supplementation of Magnesium should be a fall-back option, not the primary. The diet should be the primary. TMG for homocysteine works for some but not at all for many. Best to test, try, test, try, not to take TMG blindly. Best to eat whole turmeric, not curcumin, because the food matrix of turmeric has been proven more powerful than curcumin alone in multiple studies.
Legumes are in the nightshade family and cause digestive issues for a lot of people. Leafy greens are loaded with oxalates and consuming too much can fuck up your kidneys. There’s nothing wrong with supplementing…
I have the MTHFR can't say off the top of my head what varients or SNPs I did think I was gluten sensitive for many years until I realized it could be the products that are fortified causing me issues. I decided to eat organic 100% whole wheat and did just fine with those products, although I no longer eat them and don't believe grains need to be part of my whole food diet. I do use methalated B and eat rare liver and heart occasionally. I also take magnesium that has a blend of different types.
Depends on what "actual food" means to you. Even farm grown tends to be mass produced and lacks nutrients due to overproduction. And if you compare the taste of home grown veggies to a good deal of supermarket produce, you can ABSOLUTELY tell the difference. But the more important question is: When we live in a time with better supply chain access to any and EVERY type of food or supplemented nutrient possibly available from literally EVERYWHERE in the world, why would you NOT utilize that access? This isn't the time in history where you could have gone your entire life having never even heard of a pomegranate. You can go to basically any store and buy one. Or if you don't care for sucking seeds for healthy juice, you can Amazon order a supplement that has all the health benefits of doing that sent directly to you. That logic applies to everything. You have more access to international foods, spices, herbs, and all goods than any king who lived before you. And most people just want to eat McDonald's and maybe take a multivitamin now and then...
Would taking higher amounts of glycine or consuming meats higher is glycine lower homocystine levels? This is a point paleo dieters proclaim like chris Kressler.

i had cramps at night and I started taking Magnesium Glyucinate and they went away.
I took magnesium last night my dreams were crazy woke up feeling great
may i know what type of magnesium?
What type dude?
Magnesium boosts melatonin production
Magnesium Oxide has really poor bioavailability. Not sure why an esteemed medical doctor such as Attia is recommending it over Magnesium Glycinate which has been proven time and time again with its excellent bioavailability.
exactly what i thought ... very surprised
Why not take both?
@@Nades_ Why waste your money on Magnesium Oxide when you know it has poor absorption
Costco has a good price on magnesium glycinate even when not on sale.
@@swapnilraj5639I've seen him recommend it before he's not really against it ,its probably that its just more accessible because glycinate usually cost more
I personally discovered that elevated doses of the combination of Serrapeptase and Nattokinase helps me immensely with pain, especially mouth pain (dental work) and headaches. Haven't tried elevated doses for body aches yet. I'll have to analyze that.
Achilles / ligament / tendon tears are related to Liver issues in Classical Chinese Medicine. I see it all the time with patients. I work on their livers with acupuncture, herbs and diet -- and, probably most importantly -- laying off the alcohol. I've never seen a compliment get their joints way better when following this approach. Even really old injuries, tears and surgeries get way better / completely better with this. Considering Chris's openness about being a regular imbiber, I'd guess that his achilles tear had at least something to do with this.
Not to mention collagen supplementation!

Vitamin D supplementation depletes magnesium
@@Lieutenant-DanHigh doses do, not the normal amount that you would take. Please educate yourself.
@@IssaMeZane magnesium is essential in the metabolism of D3 and yes, it may not cause an issue with a lot of people at lower doses but a lot of people are already deficient in magnesium.
My point is that people shouldn't just start popping vitamins, they can cause further imbalances and do more harm than good. I've done my research thank you very much.
@@Lieutenant-Dan
Thanks mate, I study this, I understand you have done your research but -
You don't necessarily need to undergo a blood test just to determine if you should take supplements like vitamin D, magnesium, or omega-3s, especially if you're using them for common issues like cramps or sleep.
These supplements are often safe for the average person to take without specific testing, as they're generally considered beneficial for overall health.
However, if you have specific concerns or conditions that may affect your nutrient levels, consulting a healthcare professional can help you make informed decisions about supplementation.
Otherwise, incorporating these supplements into your routine based on common needs or preferences is generally sufficient.
2:13 on creatine
I don't know Tim Ferris's take on Creatine, but I will take a wild guess and say there's a misunderstanding here. Peter is talking about the old-school "loading phase", which indeed isn't needed. But I'm guessing Tim's take goes along the lines of _always_ taking 10-20g creatine instead of 5g - there seems to be some very slight evidence on why this might be beneficial, but we will need more time to be sure - still, since creatine intake has virtually no drawbacks, some people rather have potentially excess of creatine than lack of it (I believe Huberman is, currently, in this camp of thought as well).
Also, regarding Peter's suggestion about decreasing creatine intake in case you have some kind of IBS, you can indeed do that, but there's another way around it: just split your daily dose into two or three servings and spread them across the day (e.g: instead of 5g/1x/day turn it into 2.5g/2x/day) and your tummy will be fine.
Tummy 😂😂😂
If you have AGA gene you'll find it out sooner with the 20 gram dose.
I remember hearing 10g loading 1-2g surfing (even without the IBS) from ye olden days, do I misremember something, new science, healthmaxxing/inflation?

@@Rocko1990 I do 2 before the gym and 2 after, the capsules are a little bigger than most--they hold about 750mg each.

Magnesium glycinate for sleep

Good form but it does contribute to oxalate formation for those on low oxalate diet...I like a blend of malate glycinate and citrate...which help bowl movements and helps mitigate oxalates as Citrate are good for this..potassium and calcium citrate...great at bedtime

Man your production is insane!! WOW! May I ask if you are using a laser projection or rear projection or it is a fancy screen similar to the ones are used in movies? It would be highly appreciated ❤🙏
Vit D3 with K2 would be a good idea.
Best to get bloods done, tweak the diet and supplement then re test. Also (as mentioned) genes can play a role in the uptake of vits.
TMG is Trimethyl Glycine (Betaine) it is different than Methyl B Vitamins (active forms ) even though they both donate methyl groups. TMG is best for reducing homocysteine.
I would have thought that a health and longevity expert would have more clarity and precision with dosages that he is recommending.
He really can't do that, for 2 reasons.
1. There's not much good medical research on most of these supplements studying the efficacy and possible side effects at different dosages. The ideal dosage also depends on many factors such as weight, age, metabolism, etc.
2. If he gave specifics he'd be legally liable if somebody had negative effects at the amount he recommended.

What about Hawaiian Astaxanthin, Quarcetin, Zinc, and probiotics?
I don't really like answers where you say: "What should I be doing, for general health" and Peter Attia responds with "ehhhh well it's complicated, depends, details, titrations, etc etc", followed up with "yeah well I'm basically doing it for general benefit, it's all-around good" so what was the point of the speech about how it's complicated, depends on your titrations, etc? Is Peter Attia actually suggesting that the average person should track intake of "several different types of magnesium"? In general, with Peter Attia, I think what you need to get up-front is a statement on his certainty relative to his current claims or practices. How likely is he to discard this practice in 1-2 years because he's basically just experimenting with his own body, and it doesn't give good data?
I think thats the point of the preamble at the beginning right? he's fully aware that his statements and certainly his own regiment is not going to be optimal for a large group of people. Also, he hosts hour long podcasts on these various topics where they do deep dives into the current literature. I don't think its a bad thing to change as the science and evidence changes. Before he was a big proponent of fasting, low carb, keto etc. I'd rather that then someone who chooses a hill to die on regardless of new research that may challenge that belief.
Bingo. Totally agree.
If the background would just be a super crisp nature setting etc that would be epic! This feels like one of those early VR-game settings
Overall what supplements are the best... I take vit D with vit k mk7, zinc, magnesium multivitamin and NAC almost every other day. I have been thinking of taking Berberine and tumeric soon . Any others you would recommend? Love the videos and info thanks
Low dose vitamin c 500mg 3-4 x times a day
Moringa - better than multi vits, pomegranate capsules - better than turmeric. Otherwise cool
Turmeric helped me with my joint pains!
You are doing great. Make sure your iron levels are fine (too much zinc may be a problem in that matter)
Omega 3 is also important
For resveratrol, if you don't eat dark grapes and dark chocolate, you might consider that too
Talk to your doctor after a blood test
Thanks for this great talk. I'm already taking 4 of them (no TMG yet, but planning to add it), but tbh I was starting to consider stopping curcumin. I'm hearing more and more people telling there's no benefit, and even some drawbacks, taking it.
At 2:12 I'm not sure who you were thinking about, but Andrew Huberman takes from 10 to 15 g of creatine daily. He says the amount should be based on your body weight, and he's quite heavy (around 100kg).

I’ve recently ruptured my Achilles. 5 weeks into recovery. Thinking about starting PBC157 and TB500 to speed up recovery as I need to get back to work ASAP. Does anyone have any advice on this.
6 Vitamin D
I would say you only really need vitamin D in the winter in most parts of the states at least and during cloudy days. If you get outside and move or if you work outside you don’t really need the supplement. If you’re in somewhere like the UK where you get like a sunny day a year than you probably need it.
@@mattpolinsky4234😂
@@mattpolinsky4234 the only way your skin creates the correct amount of vitamin D is if you are a day laborer out in the sun ALL day. Anyone who works indoors needs to supplement in some way. That said, your food might be enough supplementation on its own depending on your diet to meet your needs. The thing is that the effects are brutal when you are low on vitamin D to the point where it's safer to just take it year round. Plus, one of the omega supplements they mentioned Nordic Naturals (and I'm sure many others) has a version that contains D which is nice since it's fat soluble and makes it easier to just take all the time.

My husband has ruptured his Achilles and ruined his knee trying to be athletic, too quickly, as an adult. And yes, he was a basketball player.

He also advised him to do a “cleanse” with water, cayenne and maple syrup for two weeks…and he is a construction worker who sweats all day long. I was mortified when I learned all this. I absolutely called the gym. That gym fired 3 of the trainers he had. Don’t get me started.

He really missed the question on creatine, When asked about much higher doses 10-20 grams, the benefits were not workout related, and it was not about loading, There are other studies that show 10 or more grams per day have benefits beyond working out, more into the cognitive brain benefits and others.

Magnesium is great if you’re deficient…I watched a few of his older videos and started taking it just to feel weak, started to have palpitations and lots of diarrhea. Take it if you need it - I don’t need it - stopped taking it and within a week it all went back to normal (my BP is below 120/80 and resting pulse 48 - I’m over 60 and take no medications).
Careful with the oysters, very high in metals.
Very interesting. I take magnesium malate, glycinate and theronate - my system does not like oxide for some reason. I can attest that TMG lowers HCY. Mine came back at 9, started with TMG and several months later, my homocysteine was at 6.
I am homozygous with both COMTs and this can create difficulty in clearing methyl donors. For me, too many methyl donors cause horrible brain fog and the feeling there is a motor running inside my body. Started with Hydroxy and Adenosol along with Folinic acid. The other Bs were taken separately. Then added a trace mineral complex. Once my methylation cycle improved, I was able to add methylated B vitamins back in, but only a few times a week. Also rotate other methyl supplements like the TMG, curcumin, etc.

Evidence for any positive effect specific to Omega supplementation is mixed at best
Apparently Omega-3's are only helpful for ppl with heart problems already. I've started ALA since I don't eat fish and have high VLDL & triglycerides and it's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
Homocystein can be normalized with creatine, too. Especially is B12 is normal. Methylcobalin isn't stable! You may needs a lot more of it than from cyanocobalamin.
Methylcobalamin B12 is much better absorbed than cyanocobalamin which has to be converted in the body & is not efficient....cyanocobalamin can also be toxic & is more of a synthetic form.
I think he should take something for his memory too
I do blood test every 6 months. My homocysteine levels were at 10.2 umol/L . I took folate everyday for 6 months and it was in the 7's. I was taking any other supplements and I wasn't eating alot of kale or spinach. Probably the cheapest and easiest way to get your levels down.
Surprised creatine above Vit D. Vit D is number 1 to me. I took creatine years ago and felt nothing but I was eating 400 grams of protein a day.
400? Jesus
Why 400 grams unless you were really big all those proteins were useless. Your body used what he wanted to regardless of how much you were taking

Adequate Magnesium levels can be had with diet alone, with a diet rich in legumes and dark, green, leafy vegetables. Supplementation of Magnesium should be a fall-back option, not the primary. The diet should be the primary. TMG for homocysteine works for some but not at all for many. Best to test, try, test, try, not to take TMG blindly. Best to eat whole turmeric, not curcumin, because the food matrix of turmeric has been proven more powerful than curcumin alone in multiple studies.
Legumes are in the nightshade family and cause digestive issues for a lot of people. Leafy greens are loaded with oxalates and consuming too much can fuck up your kidneys. There’s nothing wrong with supplementing…

I decided to eat organic 100% whole wheat and did just fine with those products, although I no longer eat them and don't believe grains need to be part of my whole food diet. I do use methalated B and eat rare liver and heart occasionally.
I also take magnesium that has a blend of different types.
It makes me really wonder....does actual food not work for nutrition anymore?
Exactly. Supplements shouldn't be necessary.
Only if you grow it yourself or have the possibility to go full organic.
Depends on what "actual food" means to you.
Even farm grown tends to be mass produced and lacks nutrients due to overproduction.
And if you compare the taste of home grown veggies to a good deal of supermarket produce, you can ABSOLUTELY tell the difference.
But the more important question is:
When we live in a time with better supply chain access to any and EVERY type of food or supplemented nutrient possibly available from literally EVERYWHERE in the world, why would you NOT utilize that access?
This isn't the time in history where you could have gone your entire life having never even heard of a pomegranate.
You can go to basically any store and buy one. Or if you don't care for sucking seeds for healthy juice, you can Amazon order a supplement that has all the health benefits of doing that sent directly to you.
That logic applies to everything.
You have more access to international foods, spices, herbs, and all goods than any king who lived before you.
And most people just want to eat McDonald's and maybe take a multivitamin now and then...
