So getting closer to the end of the year and i wanted to list some supps that you should be running imo. Almost everyone should be running these to be healthier. It should go without saying I believe everyone should be lifting or doing some form of resistance training, should be walking min of 30 min of days not training and cleaning up your diet. Also no secret that i beleive if you are not making money from your body, you shouldnt be using PEDs outside of legitimate TRT or HRT from the doctor, this is especially true of those that have health issues or elevated markers. Most of these Dante Trudal has talked about in the past.


Overall for diet i do like limiting carbs somewhat but if you are not into that, i do suggest Stan Efferings vertical diet. I also recommend the macrofactor app if you are looking for a tracking app.

Blood Pressure- if you are even slightly elevated, i suggest you get on this. It works freaking awesome. Heart disease is still the #1 killer in the US and high BP can lead to a heart attck.

1) Carditone- Stuff works awesome. Start with 1 cap morning, 1 at night. Within 2 weeks you will find yourself in that 120/80 range max. after you get it where you want it, you can try cutting back to 1 cap per day. If you are 40 or older, you absolutely should be on this. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS SUPP!!! I use it myself and took my bp down from 130/90 to where i am now in the 115/75 range most days.



Cholesterol- - We get post daily here on how to correct this or should i get on a statin etc.....again this is serious shite and again..first thing is start lifting, start walking and clean up the diet. Some may disagree with me here, but i find cutting out processed foods and limiting carbs to pre and mainly post workout works wonders here or just limiting carbs overall and keep the fat content in the meet you eat to healthier fats aka no dirty keto .

1) Citrus Bergamot- 1000mg morning 1000mg night, it will (almost across the board with everyone) lower LDL/Trigs and raise HDL up to 40%)

2) Berberine-- 500mg morning and 500mg night. You can even go higher and take 1 cap 20-30 min before any meal containing carbs. Warning, it will be bitter but it will lower your LDL.

3) Krill Oil- 2500mg (2 caps) morning and night

4) add in a very very high quality fish oil with vit D3 if you would like Defranco's Omega D3


Blood Clot/Strokes- This is one of the supplements I beleive everyone over 40 should be taking, especially in the covid era and especially those of us who did get the vaccine.

1) nattokinase- been shown in studdies that nattokinase, compared to a statin, Nattokinase regressed plaque in blood vessels by 36.6 percent compared to a statins 11.5%. Take 1 pill morning and night due to half life.


Those are my big ones and i do feel they are very important for most people as most 35 and older have some form of heart/cholestrol issues. I am of the belief that everyone should have a calcium score screening heart test done along with monitoring Cholesterol, BP and C-Reactive Protein screeening.

here are some others that I do feel help people with certain issues

Kidney issues- Astragalus- try vitamin shop brand- 500mg- 4-6 caps morning and night. Even got 2 studies of people using 15-20g per day and getting raises in GFR scores of 20-40 points which is nothing short of amazing. Dante's talk on this

Low Free Test- Boron- Now brand- 6mg morning and night. not dose dependent over that amount.


Cardiomyopathy/enlarged heart- Curcumin - 800mg morning and night. This also is a huge supplement to take daily for heart health, reduces cancer risk, inflamation, joint health etc. Highly recommend.



ok if you have had cholesterol problems for a while or have plaque build up i highly suggest the following combo daily for next 8-12 months. here is a convo where Dante links all of the studies LINK

#1-Vit K(super k complex) - LINK- take 2-3 caps in the morning and 2-3 at night.


#2- 100% pure pomegrante juice- not from concentrate- LINK i also think trader joes has some for much cheaper. It must be 100% juice and not from concentrate

quote:

been shown to inhibit plaque and scavenge plaque from the arteries. What sucks is I usually like to link pubmed studies but its really not feasible here on IG....so just put Pomegranate and plaque into google and you will see some info. There are studies showing plaque reductions at 13%, 22%, 26% and 35% at months 3 then 6 then 9 then 12 which is beyond remarkable.


4-8 oz everyday

here are a couple studies
LINK
LINK



Hemocrit- go give blood is going to be the #1 thing and reducing red meat consumption would be #3, but if you are over 60 or even 58-59 then you may want to look at IP-6. IP-6 is also a great defense against colon and rectal cancer. IP-6- 1 pill morning, 1 at night


BPH/Prostate Cancer/prostate hyperplasia-

1) Cialis- works great for BPH and has other benifits but understand if you are at risk for skin cancer, cialis can make that worse

2) Curcumim- we spoke about this earlier

3) Pumpkin seed oil

4) Pycnogenol- this is a supplement that has tons of heart and kidney benifits

5) Pygeum

6) ECCG

otehr cancers-( this going way down the rabbit hole but they have other benifits too)

Boswellia Serrata- also pancreatic and brain cancer
Apigenin- also skin cancer and other cancers
Quercetin- helps with allergies too
Astaxanthin- powerful antioxidant


if you are really having BPH issues....throw the kitchen sink at it and use all of the above blus the berberine




if you are having issues with blood flow in your legs(this happens in women more than man imo)- then look at horse chestnut- 50-100mg morning and night




So for those of you that are 100% natural and looking for an edge on how to get stronger and putting on muscle outside of training and diet discussions I recommend the following

1) Creatine- most researched supplement in the world, also has health benefits-5g daily
2) SNS GlycoPhase- Glucose Disposal agent- take with carb meals
3) SNS- X-Gels - Arachidonic Acid
4) True Nutrition- The lab- T-sterone and A-Bolic


2 other possible- turkesterone and ecdysterone. You will have to research these.

If looking for something more…mk677 will help a lot with growth. It will raise your HGH levels and considered a PED. But it will not down regulate your gh receptors and they will come back to normal quickly.

Magnesium Glycinate has been my bestie for muscle pain post-workouts and is a great non-prescription for reduction of anxiety symptoms. Also doesn't have that typical laxative effect of other Mags.

Came here to say, I have tried Cardiotone for one month. No results, and it’s hard to breathe. It really impacts my upper respiratory system. I’m coughing and wheezing all day everyday. This is not normal for me. I decided to stop since there are only negative results.

My BP hasn’t budged. Might have to do with the fact that I also take Lisinopril as prescribed by my doctor, and maybe there’s interference between the two. Unfortunately, if I have to choose, I’m going to follow what my doctor prescribes. High blood pressure is no joke.

I know there a lot of people getting great results. But, I wanted to report that it doesn’t work for me.

Looking for some guidance. I'm 61 YO and also 6' 1" weigh 205. I have been lifting now for a couple of years. I have been taking a pre and was wondering should I ditch that and take recommended doses of L-Citrulline, Creatine, and Beta Alanine. I do think the pre helps me some? Buying the 3 I noted in bulk would be a heck of a lot cheaper though. Inputs appreciated. Thanks
