So... are most supplements cope?

[gymislife]

I never took supplements before but because of this forum I've been taking for the past 2-3 months: Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Magnesium, Zinc, Ashwagandha, Collagen, Omega 3, Saw palmetto.

0 benefits, no improvement in mood, no increase in energy levels, not feeling overall healthier, nothing. I think only ashwagandha and saw palmetto are legit from those cuz everything else is easy to consume through food.

Seems like only time a supplement can have some benefit is if you are in a deficit, but to be in a deficit then you need to be starving or have most shitty diet aka if you are african or if you eat mcdonalds everyday(I hope you guys don't do that).
So IMO it's best to take a supplement only if you are 100% sure you're in a deficit or if it's something that is not acquirable through food.
No reason to stuff your face with supplements if you can eat vegetables and fruits, meat and dairy, nuts and seeds on daily basis.

It's a DHT inhibitor, used mostly for hair loss.
It works by decreasing the activity of 5α-R — an enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT.
Also supports the prostate health

What about Ashwagandha and asteastaxanthin

 

[middayshowers]

yeah what you’re saying is true

 

[gymislife]

What about Ashwagandha and asteastaxanthin

most users here say astaxanthin gives them red glow and has other health benefits so it's cool,
there is research on ashwagandha showing it reduces cortisol levels, however i doubt most people need it, not really unless you are under heavy stress 24/7

yes the money u can spend on supplements should be used to just buy quality whole foods instead.

Just eat a balanced diet and make sure to get your calories/nutrients in and you're fine. It's mostly genetic and determined from an early age either way

I'm not sure if it can increase testosterone, it's well known for reducing cortisol - the stress hormone

Don't expect anything wonderful from them.
But they indeed are beneficial

But no a handful of pills wont turn you into chad.

 

[Bewusst]

It completely depends on how much of what you are using and for which purpose. If you're deficient in sth and want to eliminate that deficiency with a supplement, it's not cope.

 

[Deleted member 4209]

[Griffith]

Most of the stuff that you are taking is.
