  1. I don’t trust people on medicine and supplements.

    I NEVER FUCKIN TRUST DOCTORS ON MEDICINE AND SUPPLEMENTS!

  2. It’s annoying that the pillars of this niche don’t have integrity enough to say the truth. From ignorance and from special interest.

  3. omega 3, k2 d3, complex B50, black seed oil,TMG, berberine, C, cinnamon, pterostilbene, coq10, nicotinamide

  4. "Fantastic video! I appreciate your holistic approach. Planet Ayurveda’s natural supplements are a must-try!"

  5. Crazy, I stopped playing soccer for 3-4 years. At 29 got back in it and was 16 pounds or so heavier….. blew my acl out 3 game with zero contact lol.

  6. Would magnesium supplements still be helpful if I already regularly consume mixed nuts, bananas and chocolate?

  7. Magnesium: Dr. Attia suggests that most people can benefit from magnesium, but the form of magnesium depends on the desired effect (e.g., muscle function, GI regularity, cognitive benefits). He personally uses several types:

    Slow Mag for muscle function and to prevent cramps.
    Magnesium Oxide for GI health.
    Magnesium L-Threonate for cognitive support.
    Creatine Monohydrate: He recommends 5 grams daily for general health and performance. While some may take higher doses (10–20 grams), Dr. Attia notes that 5 grams is sufficient to reach saturation levels over time. He advises adjusting the dose if GI issues occur.

    Methylated B Vitamins and TMG: These help manage homocysteine levels, which are linked to diseases like dementia and cardiovascular conditions. While the evidence is still evolving, he suggests it for those with elevated homocysteine levels.

    Curcumin: Dr. Attia takes a bioavailable form of curcumin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. He has found it particularly helpful in managing inflammation from injuries.

    Omega-3 Fatty Acids: He emphasizes the importance of EPA and DHA for overall health. Dr. Attia uses high-potency fish oil supplements to maintain optimal levels of these fatty acids.

  8. OK my humble apology but I agree Magnesium is involved in 300 processes but only a chelated Mag works. B Vitamins you need 5MTHF for sure. Curcumin a yes and Baobab and GSH acetyl or liposomal. To have others and not remember begs a big question. 30 years in Functional Medicine and the lead educator outside the U.S. for The Institute of Functional Medicine. Just get a little frustrated when doctors don’t really understand FM.

  9. he knows as much as the average googler, so not much enlightenment here. Moreover, his appearance is just as ordinary, making his longevity regimen seem ineffective or pointless.

  10. Only medication I take is warfarin. I’m super excited to go try this recommendations, especially the curcumin !

  11. The fact that nobody talks about the MrZarvok Secret Testosterone Recipes speaks volumes about how uninformed people are.

  12. Video Overview: The video discusses essential supplements for performance and health.

    1. [00:00] Essential Supplements to Consider
    – Magnesium is beneficial for different functions depending on the form: GI function, muscle function, and cognitive benefits.
    – Creatine monohydrate at 5g daily aids workout performance, and taking higher doses doesn’t seem to increase saturation levels.

    2. [03:09] Additional Supplement Recommendations
    – Methylated B vitamins, possibly with TMG (Trimethylglycine), can help regulate homocysteine levels, which is linked with brain health and cardiovascular disease.
    – Curcumin, in an activated form, is taken for its bioavailability and health benefits.

    3. [11:13] Omega-3s and Injury Recovery Insights
    – Omega-3 fatty acids are also beneficial, with EPA and DHA levels measured in red blood cell membranes.
    – The speaker recounts his personal experience with an Achilles injury, emphasizing the importance of a careful and slow return to sports after a long hiatus, and mentions supplements used to aid recovery.

    Final Thought: The video provides valuable information on key supplements that can enhance overall health and performance, with a reminder to reintegrate sports activity cautiously after an extended break.

  13. 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.

  14. I find it hard to take any supplement or nutrition advice from guys who look like they never picked up a dumbell or seen the inside of a gym.

  15. 1. The Nolan Batmans are over rated
    2. They are ok though
    3. I still watch them
    4. Relaxing films
    5. ?

  16. Curcumin is legit poison. Don’t consume that garbage. And fish oil is toxic fat of fish. DO NOT TAKE THESE THINGS. Only ok thing here is creatine, and magnesium if you take it topically which he doesn’t mention. Or oral if you wanna poop.

  17. I’m not a doctor but I’m a chemist since 1996. I agree with this dco,however I’m one of those who had some serious side effects from Creatine M. I had a lot of pain at my lower back (Kidneys) and I had a feel of thirst and chemical taste in my throat and mouth. I also noticed hair loss, all known issues for some people who use Creatine. I’m one of those unlucky guys, however, it could damage all people but on most, it just doesn’t show immedeately like on me and others.
    As for the rest,I can’t live without Magnesium +B6. A good multivitamin also helps,especialy those who don’t eat many fruits. I’d advise taking supplements, only if it’s absolutely necesery and/or when a doctor has adviced to you,to do so.

  18. 90% of methyl cobalamin is not methylated and not bio active in cell cultures. The methylation state of pure methyl cobalamin was measured by ion spray mass spectrometry and found only 5% methylation – as an adaptive b12, cyanocobalamin is intact and has the highest bio activity. Hydroxycobalamin is cytotoxic in cell cultures.

  19. This guys talking about methyl b vitamins. Why is this guy so propped up. I get it he sounds smart when he talks. But come on.

  20. Tore my Achilles playing soccer 3 months after my 30th birthday so I can attest to the gaining muscle mass and then playing the sport you used to many years later. I’m probably about 30 pounds heavier than my college days with 15% more body fat (I was around 3% in college) and I am in decent shape, already warmed up and had ran 3 miles by the time it happened to me at the end of the game. I will say it happened to me on turf so not sure if that contributed to the tear or if it really was just excess load on the tendon, never had pain anywhere in that leg before that.

  21. Here are my personal experiences with the mentioned supplements as well as some additional ones that wasn’t mentioned in this video.
    Keep in mind, that I am not a doctor, so this is merely just my experience, so take it with a grain of salt.

    Magnesium Glycinate makes me sleepy, so I time it before bed.
    Magnesium Citrate gives me a bit of an energy boost, so in my experience, it’s best taken with food in the morning.

    Creatine Monohydrate makes me feel bloated and gives me a weird feeling in my stomach every time I take it.
    I’ve switched to Creatine HCL (Hydrochloride), which has better absorption and doesn’t cause the bloating like Monohydrate does.

    Vitamin B-Complex provides all the essential B vitamins and is crucial for energy, cognition, the immune system, stress management, metabolism, and nerve health.
    Vitamin B is also important in pre-workout supplements as it helps prevent the crash that can happen with high-stim pre-workouts.
    So, if you’re someone who loves pre-workout supplements, make sure yours contains Vitamin B (like B1 Thiamine, B2 Riboflavin, or B3 Niacin). This will help the energy taper off gradually instead of an instant stop, which is what causes the "crash."

    Alpha GPC (Choline) – Helps with memory, focus, and overall brain function.

    Vitamin C + Zinc – A great immune system booster. Taking it 30 minutes before bedtime can help you wake up feeling refreshed.

    Vitamin D3 + K2 – Supports bone, heart, and muscle health.

    Omega 3 (High DHA and EPA) – Promotes heart health and cognitive function.

    N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) – Supports brain health, reduces inflammation, promotes kidney health, boosts glutathione levels, strengthens the immune system, and supports liver function.

    These are the supplements I take daily, and I swear by them.

    What about you?

  22. Consuming multiple types of magnesium supplements is certainly anecdotal. Whatever happened to magnesium-rich foods as part of a healthy diet…!

  23. 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.
