i have a rare autoimmune disease (ITP) which means that i have low platelets which makes my blood not clot good. this leads to me having heavy periods, nosebleeds, etc.

i have been looking for a good anti inflammatory supplement that’s not a blood thinners (ex. turmeric, fish oil supplements, etc.) to help alongside with the medications i take, but i can’t find a good anti inflammation supplement that’s doesn’t thin out my blood. i would appreciate it if someone recommended me a good supplement so i can ask my doctor/dietitian about it!

thank you to all who reply.

I was ill for two weeks with what might have been covid; I say might because I never got tested. I was on an NAC hiatus for the duration of my sickness until I decided to take it on the 10th day of feeling blah… then, I took 600mg and BOOM all the gunk stuck in my chest and throat loosened up and I immediately felt healthy again.

My question is, is it safe to take NAC everyday long term?

If it is best to cycle it, what is best advised for staving off downsides that come with this supplement being anhedonia?

What are the top 5 supplements known to improve eye vision the most I've heard many say lutein and zeaxanthin combined but is there anything more effective more stronger more significantly effective?

I take magnesium glycinate myself, and I take 220mg once daily. I know everyone is different, and mine is below the daily maximum dose, but 1000mg once daily of magnesium glycinate sounds high. Is it just me?

If so, does anybody have any recommendations? Currently I am using the life extension 600mg capsules.

I'm of course going to consult with my doctor about whether supplementation is a good option, but I was wondering about your opinion as it seems there is a lot of conflicting information about magnesium.

Some sources say that 0.65 is a deficit, others 0.75 and others more in the direction of 0.80. Whatever the correct value is, I'm probably deficient or barely above the lower threshold. I kind of expect that my doctor would say that it's not something that I should fix, because it doesn't seem that severe. On the other hand I also have very low vitamin D and I believe that supplementation with vitamin D won't be that effective if your magnesium is low as they work in tandem. Sometimes I also tend to have a pretty bad brain fog and anxiety for no reason, so even if I'm not magnesium deficient, upping my levels would probably be beneficial. What do you think?

Edit; it would also be too much of a hassle to see if I can change my diet, as I still live with my parents and we simply barely eat food that's high in magnesium. We also have some crazy picky eaters at home, so suggesting high magnesium food will probably be futile. I could buy more high magnesium food for myself, but a supplement is way cheaper and more efficient.

I really like taking Vitamin D and Zinc. However the pill forms of these vitamins upset my stomach for some reason. So I had been doing gummy version of these vitamins. But I read the gummy versions are bad, full of sugar, etc. Anyone have any experience with another way to take these vitamins, like a liquid form or something?

Hello all,

I currently take 5,000IU a day along with K1+K2 (100 mcg), about 300-400mg magnesium, and 30mg zinc.

My question is, for the winter, is it safe to double the Vitamin D? If so, how much do I increase the co-factors by?

Thanks in advance!

I wanted to try the pure encapsulation o.n.e multi but i cant find a store that ships to my coutry.I will be going to italy for a holiday next week and i am wondering is i look there.Is there any brands that hava a similar thing because these also have ubiquinol and alpha lipoic acid and other antioxidants.

I’ve been trying vitamin D on and off, different strengths for years now. I had my bloodwork done and every time it says how chronically low my D levels are. I hate the sun as I have light sensitivity that triggers headaches for me. So I never really see the sun most of the time. Clearly not enough to have healthy levels. Every time I take Vitamin d tho it ALWAYS breaks me out. I have clear skin otherwise but certain supplements cause horrible flare ups that go away once I stop. B vitamins, omega, vitamin d, zinc. All of these and a few more wreck my skin. Is there anyone like me, who has found a vitamin d that does work without causing acne? Any recommendations are highly appreciated! :)

*The recent one I tried that broke me out is Howard & James Vitamin D3 4000iu with K2-MK7. Prior to that I had the Now Foods D3 2000iu and Now Foods K2-MK7 (also broke out)

I take about 8-10 vitamins a day and have ways suffered from hemorrhoids but so far they always resolved on their own except for this time. It doesn’t seem to go away and it’s been a month or two.

Is it possible that taking too many supplements takes its toll on my bowels and causes hemorrhoids?

I recently tried Rhodiola for the first time on an empty stomach and experienced a headache and blurry vision that lasted throughout the day. I’m wondering if this is a common reaction when starting Rhodiola, or if I should stop using it. Would it be better to take it with food?

I've been suffering from male pattern hair loss for a couple years. The shedding was really bad last year in January-May when I took Creatine Monohydrate. I finished the bag of Creatine and noticed in the following months that the hairloss slowed down significantly. About 2 months ago I bought a new bag of creatine and it started again. I looked into whether there is a relationship between Creatine and Hairloss and apparently one paper found an increase in DHT but that paper has been debunked. Well, from personal experience I can tell you creatine definitely does seem to increase hairloss. Whether it's due to DHT or something else I don't know. I do also take Finasteride. I will stop taking Creatine for now.

Hi. I am 29,M, 5'6", 72 kg. Lactovegetarian.

I have been feeling disconnected and emotionless, empty, dry, weak since 2016. I also feel as if I am on autopilot and in constantly stunned.

What deficiency I might have?

I have anxiety and ADHD, I have come off my meds slowly and am now trying to find some support in supplements. I was taking L-theanine however I was getting headaches from it.

I am wondering if anyone uses both of these together and just general feedback on L-tyrosine pls!!

1. California Gold Nutrition, Bee Propolis 2X, Concentrated Extract
2. Lake Avenue Nutrition, Bee Propolis

The CGN one is 2:1 extract and the Lake Avenue one is a 5:1 extract. I honestly don't know what it means. Both state that they are equivalent to 1000mg of Bee Propolis though.

Please suggest any other brand(s) as well.

Hello!

I am a transwoman and at the beginning of my transition I was taking a bit of orally administrated HA (I don't think I have taken more than 1000mg on the whole). Ever since I discovered it's risks and stopped using it, I have been wondering two things. May I ask you:

1)Is orally administrated HA really that dangerous? Could it really cause cancer or feed existing cancer cells, especially if you are transitioning and changing your hormones?

2)Are there other alternatives with similar benefits or supplements that influence the natural production of HA in the body?

Thank you!

Hello all! I am looking for an affordable brand of magnesium threonate or glycinate supplements.

My therapist has suggested that magnesium threonate or glycinate could be very helpful for me for mood regulation. She suggested Metagenics brand supplements, but unfortunately, that brand is pretty expensive. The recommended amount to take is 200 mg twice a day. With the Metagenics brand, I would be taking four pills a day, which I would go through incredibly quickly.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good affordable brand of magnesium threonate or glycinate?
