That's where the early studies come from showing the mortality benefit. Diabetics on it were dying less than non-diabetic controls. That's surprising given the stereotype that diabetics are unhealthy fatties. There are and have been some more recent studies, though I haven't tried to understand the results yet. Could be the next (insert name of failed miracle supplement from 80s, 90s, 00s, etc).Quote:

Which is a really weird expectation to have of one person - especially when you’d probably speak to more people about what truck to buy, where to mount your bindings etc.
And MDs get next to zero training/education on diet or supplements - they’re drowning in chronic disease management and paperwork - leaves little time or energy to look into what might help a fit 40 year old weekend warrior perform better or live longer
I have been on the cusp of a normal BMI of 24 since I cut diet & sugar so I test high but I'm not fat, but the MDQuote:

and we skipped it
It's not just surprising, it's completely wild. Berberine is the same thing in supplement non-Rx form. I suspect that either holds little benefit for people who get decent amounts of exercise.Quote:

Kinda depends on what your goals are I guess, but vasodilators are an unsung hero IMO.

Don't be stupid I see a few different doctors all the time we talk about supplements lifestyle etc but I guess most of my docs are go getters who run ski cycle and are concerned about these things in their personal lifeQuote:

This is a problem I have with most studies. The effect is measured against a population, and there's usually no effort to separate out by known health factors. E.g. say it turns out that compound X reduces heart attack risk by 100%, but only in the 10% of the population that drinks IPAs. Study is done, shows a 10% average benefit across the population - new miracle drug! But it would be much better if we could tease out that there's no benefit unless you also drink those IPAs.Quote:

My Dad was put on metformin about a year or 2 before he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He had a grapefruit size tumour and given 6 months to live. He was lucky he responded well to hormone therapy and that the tumour didn't spread. One naturopath suggested that the metformin stopped the spreading as it suppressed the cancer because as he stated "sugar feeds cancer"Quote:

He had to get off it some years ago as it was doing harm to his kidneys. He has only 1 barely functioning now.
God willing he'll turn 88 this June.
Metformin is def the new trendy fountain of your math drug among the moneyed class. Price increases coming to a pharmacy near you shortly I’m sure
I seem to recall some place up on Canada was pushing dirt as a probiotic or some such thing.
Vitamin D
Turmeric. Recommended by my doctor after a back injury.
I also just started taking some beet root powder. My older brother swears by it. As does a co-worker with high BP. My BP has increased a bit as I have gotten older, so going to see what the results are in a month.
I have taken Organic unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar when I had a recent sinus infection that had been lingering for over a month. Finally decided to try the ACV, and w/i a week the sinus infection was gone. Maybe just a coincidence.
My wife does the collagen powder, and it sounds like that might be something I should check out too.
I literally had this at the end of my postQuote:

But thanks for stepping in with your anecdote that proves little
I think you're talking about Humic Acid powder. I've taken the liquid form which is too harsh but the powder or dirt has helped by wife more than myself. On the theory that SIBO & C-DIFF has a correlation of one's microbiome to Alzheimer's I got my wife on it. Can't say it's the only factor but it has improved her health as her digestion issues are all but gone. Since I've known her she always had gut problems but the improvement makes me believe it plays a significant role in her change.Quote:

That is awesome it helped yor wife.
I hope she continues to improve.
I did some more reading last night and there are some papers suggesting plausible mechanisms through which metformin could inhibit cancer metastasis (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7540116/). However, this excellent review article indicates that the clinical data is mixed at best, though better-designed trials are still worth pursuing: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41416-023-02204-2

Ah yes, the Hippie Flip. Good on you carp!
I passed a large kidney stone with shrooms and about 18 beers one night at friends cottage.Quote:

The only people I disturbed were my friends and their girlfriends staying in tents. The ones in the cottage not so much.
The next day they complained about all the pissing and laughter. I passed it around 6 maybe 6:30 am and no one was impressed with my celebration and relief. All I got was STFU we're trying to sleep.
Good memory of what could've been a very nasty one.

Specifically for long days of touring / exercise I’ve been drinking electrolytes for two to three days ahead of time then on the day of drinking [emoji638]-[emoji639] servings of electrolytes (I add salt, b[emoji637][emoji638] and sugar to the day of mix). It is definitely a PED for me.
I used to get awful cramps after a long day of touring and this eliminated them all together.

Yeah, weed and coffee is the hippie speedball.
I'm not sure how a drug story is relevant to the supplement thread, but this thread would be a lot more fun if MDMA was a supplement.
^^that’s how we used hippie/candy flip but we called it ecstasy bitd. Coffee and a bong rip was called morning.
hippy speedball, we always said, and that makes more sense than 8ball.
I defer to you on the "flip" stuff.
I started taking ginseng and gingko recently, in retrospect I wish I had just started ginseng and then added gingko later so it would be easier to understand the effects/side effects. for the first few days my system wasn't too happy, nothing terrible but shit wasn't right. But that faded. I still have to piss a shitload starting a couple hours after taking it (it's ginseng and gingko in one capsue) and then for the next 3-4 hours. Which gets old quick. I'm hoping that effect fades.
It's early days on this, the full effects of both ginseng and gingko are supposed to take time to develop. I do feel good, kinda energized and clear. Been sleeping like a rock, and notably, I haven't had to piss in the night at all for the first time in many years. Ginseng is supposed to help your bladder, among many effects. So maybe that's it. Or maybe I've just been dehydrated when I've gone to bed from pissing so much earlier. Hard to say.
This is the wayQuote:

Back on topic:
Lions mane mushrooms
Vitamin D 5k
5 defenders mushrooms
Cordyceps mushrooms (highly recommend)
Fish oil
I don't get sick like I used to, even with snotty kids and the cordyceps is a noticable energy boost without twitchiness.
Fish oil, Lions Mane and Vitamins at doc's suggestion.

Is there a particular brand of the mushrooms that you’ve been happy with?Quote:
