Supplements
I’m sure no one is concerned but I am under the care of a doctor and all of my lab work is normal, albeit “sub optimal” (ferritin, vitamin D) both of my doctors are okay with my supplements.
Blood sugar, cholesterol, hormones, thyroid, inflammation markers, everything is all within normal range.

Whats the goal?Slim down? Add muscle?
Better legs and glutes. Slimming down is secondary to that. I can do that after the challenge
I'm taking B12 and natrium glycinate. That's all i hv now.
Nervous system, muscle, metabolism and sleep.

Creatine could give you good results just by flooding the muscles with water. But it will be all over. All GLP1s tend to strip muscle, which could take you back the other way.
I personally would try NAC and Alpha Lipoic Acid to speed up recovery (these will prevent you from getting sore for any real period so you can keep up the pace throughout the week) and speed up sugar processing. Then spend that extra energy on like biking or some sort of high resistance cycling. I personally think what youre aiming for you dont even need to do weight lifting for, heavy cycling, rollerskating, hell even wind sprints should give you more results with less time involved.

I’ll have to do more research. I thought reta was supposed to be the superior glp because it preserves muscle better if I’m resistance training and getting protein.
I hate indoor cardio. And also winter. The challenge is 3 lower body, 2 upper body and 2 rest days.
I’ll do more research and come back.

What kinda dossage do you recomend from these?
Has anyone taken collagen supplements ever? Do they help with your knees during exercise, if you ever had slight pain in your knees ?

Yeah I used to just eat gelatin powder it worked well. Used to take it camping because its got high protein to weigh ratio.

So for NAC I take 600 MG a day. 300-600 is recommended. And I just follow the dosage on the Alpha. My recovery time has been crazy fast. Ive worked out all my life, amd id dread workouts because I knew id pay the price the next day. Id leave gas in the tank just because I didnt want to be crippled the next day. I go harder than I ever have, amd for longer. I honestly feel like im a teenager again energy and recovery-wise. If you try it let me know how it does. I hope it helps.

Sounds good. I just want to get rid of of as much oxydative stress as I can...back injury 🫤
I take vitamins: C, D, K2, Zinc, and Magnesium.
I used to take fish /krill oil, but my doctor says I was kind of wasting my money since he had me on a statin. As far as I know, all my pipes are still clean.

This should help. I can hook you up with a couple others ive since started taking.
I broke my back several years ago in roof collapse. My shoulders were fucked, especially my dominant right from years of ego benching. My wrists would click. Patella would slide around while walking almost buckle me. Im not making any money from this shit, just hoping it helps you all, but I have none of that now. No surgeries. No prescriptions. Just... feel fucking amazing.. Youre a smart man knowing its oxidative stress. Youre ahead of where I was for a long time. It was like that missing piece of the puzzle for me.
Try those and see if they help. If you wnat to know some.more, or you run across something I dont know, let me know.

Yeah I think itll help. Its not real severe pain just the neuralgia is very annoying and uncomfortable. DOMs feel yuck so getting rid of them will be good too. From what Ive learned, people who get on a good anti oxident diet heal up well and people who don't just stagnate for years.
Just eat well and exercise well. Forget the supplements

I have to make this and come back because I have 1000 things going on but can we talk about supplements in here.I’m getting ready to do another challenge and creatine is recommended and I’ve never taken it. Can anyone tell me what to expect?
We can also talk about other supplements and peptides etc.
I’m currently taking b12, vitamin D, iron. I was thinking about taking retatrutide while I do this 6 week challenge (yes cheating ha)
Personally I am in a calorie deficit
I take Creatine, whey protein, Omega 3 as its helps with anti inflammatory, Magnesium before bed, and Vitamin D and K2 you need this one as it’s great for directing calcium to bones for strength.
Creatine fuel suppose to fuel you up from my understanding. Of course I used to take anything to bulk up and energy powder to help me get strong enough to pump serious heavy iron. Some body enhancement drugs I used to consume I didn't even know what the hell it's for but still took em anyway. Try creatine you might like it or find some use for it. Sometimes you have to be bold take chances and just do even if you don't know what you doing.

Going to take 5g and see how it goes. I’ve read it does have other wellness effects outside of weight training so we’ll see. I can use all the memory and cognition help I can get
Creatine has loading phase and maintenance phase. so be sure to load the creatine for first 5 days. 5gm four times a day. drink plenty of water. Creatine is a good choice.

I've been taking beef gelatine & it did wonders for my digestion as well as my skin. I'd say it's worth every granule.

It definitely helps with healing. I put my arm through a storm door about a month ago, and cut my bicep deep. Deep deep. It left a long scar, but it healed in just around 2 weeks. I was surprised. It probably needed stitches, but just went thr old super glue route.

Ouch dude, keep it moving.
You might want to watch this. It's interesting. I don't know if this the reason why my testicles shrunk and why I've lost hair over the years but you might want to rethink this or reconsider
Just thought I drop this video that popped up all of a sudden. I promise I didn't search for it.
My daily routine is a multi vitamin, D3+K, ginger, turmeric, quercetin+bromelian, metamucil, and supergreens.
There's sufficient evidence that creatine positively affects brain function especially in people that are tired/fatigued.
Dunno where Hatters got too but I've been taking the NACs and Alpha Lipoic Acid he recomended and heaps of Fish Oil this week and I think he may be onto something here. My back has felt great even on thursday when I was working on machinery in some awkward posistions it didn't hurt afterwards.

Me too, oxidation sucks.
Not really a supplement, but I love soaking in my salt baths, these are really good for this.
