What people actually say

“If I drink, even one beer or glass or wine but certainly if I have two or three, I sleep terribly. I'm up all night. My heart rate is elevated and I get jittery.”

“I can’t sleep without it and don’t sleep with it. Every day ends up plan to drink and hide it if I can.”

“Alcohol is limited to weekends (at which point I sleep through the night, but sleep quality is garbage).”

“Copper was a big savior for me, the difference is huge and started right after starting to focus on it. My deep sleep has only gone up and up.”

“I took zinc and copper high dosed and it did not raise my levels. Months now in.”

“started supplementing copper, which I believe can be seen on my face since my wrinkles are considerably reduced in size (copper is important for collagen synthesis)”

“started taking 2mg of copper, and my ADHD improved a lot... Copper is not particularly dangerous.”

“Other things are in that gray area like sulbutiamine, racetams, selegiline, and nicotine have helped me.”

“Before, I was trying some racetams but reading this article scared the hell out of me about racetams and I stopped.”

“even the nootropics that some communities swear by did nothing for me (some that come to mind - racetams, tyrosine/NALT, NAC, methylated B vitamins...”

“Noopept/racetams/choline useful to bring back my recall after I had destroyed it through years of dxm abuse. It DOES work for that, but if you are a healthy adult it does absolutely nothing.”

“Within a week after taking it consistently, I always feel noticeably calmer, get better sleep, better muscle recovery and have smoother more elastic skin.”

“I'm puzzled how you can suggest elemental calcium supplementation for reversing atherosclerosis as it has been linked to increased risk.”

“Once I started getting my daily amount of calcium I felt way better. My mind and body genuinely relaxed, assuming the cal:mag balance is what did this.”

“1200mg pure calcium before bed for 4 days gave me: 0 fatigue, crystal memory and learning, 0 brain fog, better verbal fluency”

“i believe k2, B vitamins, and amino acids L carnitine and glutamine made a difference in my skin.”

“When I get enough or too much B vitamins I can't sleep.”

“I’ve tried lemon balm, b vitamins, magnesium glycinate, weed, so many things for anxiety. Nothing came close to that drip!”

“I’ve already tried a lot of things some basic things like magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, and PEA, tyrosine, theanine, nac, inositol, creatine, glycine, cafeine, without major results.”

“I have seen unbelievable results stacking Lithium Orotate with the following: Methylated B-Vitamins, High dose Omega-3 (from algae), Sodium Butyrate, Tocotrienols, Vit D3K2, Mag Glycinate, Iodine&Selenium, Boron.”

“I tried to go back to that dosage and couldn't handle it (hands shaking, burning head, anxiety).”

“My anxiety has almost been cleared for the past six months... Sleep is more vivid and more efficient.”

“I've been taking high dose iodine for a few months and it's a NIGHT AND DAY difference for me in my digestion, energy levels, quantity of perspiration and overall feeling of well-being.”

“Metformin currently has enough data for me personally to feel comfortable not only taking it myself (and my wife), but also recommending it to my patients.”

“Berberine has done zero for my pre diabetic glucose levels or weight. Metformin has and I changed nothing else.”

“2 days with Metformin and that’s gone. I feel like I did when i was in my 30’s.”

“Metformin (2 months, hoping to reduce hunger or increase energy), and there is way many more and others I can't remember.”

“malate is a much better option for me (though stil gives me some energy, just not the panic/sense of dread that glycinate does)”

“Malate and bisglycinate have worked best for me as they are more energizing and bioavailable forms.”

“Magnesium malate seems to work the best for me...Malate improves energy production in mitochondria.”

“Magnesium malate is the energizing kind of mag, glycinate I would only take in the evening for better sleep (which will give you more energy in a roundabout way).”

“CBD oil (this is very personal, but for me, it seems to work to get into deeper sleep)”

“usual recommendations: CBD oil, ashwaghanda, valerian, lemon balm, theanine, GABA and about a half dozen others. Ashwaghanda helped with my stress and levels and lemon balm and theanine had a mild effect but that's about it.”

“Within 20 minutes I could feel a softness gradually washing over my brain. It was incredibly gentle and soft as if the CBD was telling me everything was going to be okay.”

“Probably most notable for anxiety and the cognitive benefits that come from treating the anxiety like other nootropics. I also believe it has anti-inflammatory properties too.”

“I just got a script for propranolol that I can take as needed and it's been a game changer.”

“Minimal decrease in anxiety but I am pretty sure that it only reduces physical symptoms, not mental.”

“Only 10mg is enough to make me feel comfortable and confident in public speaking.”

“I take it together with my adhd meds and it does help to not feel that anxious. And you stay focused and under control.”

“Replace the fish oil with krill oil containing naturally occurring astaxanthin. Astaxanthin has been a game changer for me.”
