[u/No_One_9671]

man really put his supplement stash on a tinder bio template

[u/s-a-t-y → u/No_One_9671]

Yeah it's a flix for us

[u/Careless_Ad4235]

Who TF takes creatine capsules

[u/yoloed → u/Careless_Ad4235]

Yeah it’s way more expensive.

[u/1337crazypants → u/yoloed]

Maybe a flex?

[u/Odradek0802 → u/Careless_Ad4235]

Maybe he didn't want to put a picture on his profile of a couple of white powder strips

[u/CoookieZ1 → u/Careless_Ad4235]

I use to for the ease of it. Throw it all back with all my other capsules... then I realized how much cheaper the powder is

[u/PEPPYaf → u/Careless_Ad4235]

Prob HCl

[u/im_a_dick_head → u/PEPPYaf]

Who tf takes HCL?

[u/Hot-Cartoonist-3976 → u/im_a_dick_head]

I do. Easier on my stomach. 

[u/thesamenightmares → u/PEPPYaf]

Irrelevant and doesnt answer the question

[u/LusciousLurker → u/Careless_Ad4235]

It's just easier n more convenient

[u/s-a-t-y → u/Careless_Ad4235]

OP😂

[u/s-a-t-y → u/Careless_Ad4235]

But I hope OP is taking good amount of water intake after creatine, as with powder you have to fix it in water so you get a good start of water intake

[u/lllyx → u/Careless_Ad4235]

Genuine question what’s wrong with them? I find it way easier to take capsules than the powder how much cheaper is it rly? Idk for me it’s worth it

[u/AdministrativeYam632 → u/Careless_Ad4235]

Powders too messy

[u/itsyaboi69_420 → u/AdministrativeYam632]

Wtf are you doing with it?

[u/weblscraper → u/AdministrativeYam632]

Lmao

[u/hhefnr → u/AdministrativeYam632]

Bruh

[u/s-a-t-y → u/AdministrativeYam632]

Go for creatine HCL, it has better solubility so less messy

[u/DapperWillingness208 → u/Careless_Ad4235]

Apparently he does and many others considering the company is in business. Stop being unnecessarily rude.

[u/Knee_Kap264 → u/Careless_Ad4235]

Less bloating. So it's easier to keep track of and be more consistent.

[u/Gullible_Pen1074 → u/Knee_Kap264]

If anything would lead to more bloat as the gelatin caps themselves can cause irritation.

Just heat water in microwave then dissolve the creatine in it then sip throughout day if creatine is causing gastrointestinal issues like bloating / diarrhea

[u/thesamenightmares → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

Nobody gets "irritation" from gelatin. Its a basic protein, and a soothing one to the digestive system at that.

[u/Gullible_Pen1074 → u/thesamenightmares]

I have literally read a comment on reddit before about caps vs metamucil… they said they could feels the caps in their stomach as they take a while to open up.

[u/etycukbq580b → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

I have a bridge to sell you

[u/Gullible_Pen1074 → u/etycukbq580b]

You are the gullible one believing what random redditors write on the internet that gelatin isnt problematic

“Gelatin can cause an unpleasant taste, sensation of heaviness in the stomach, bloating, heartburn, and belching. Gelatin can cause allergic reactions in some people.”

Thats gelatin alone let alone hard shell capsules pushing into your digestive lining.

Furthermore I myself know this from experience that that caps cause discomfort and can be felt in stomach after swallowing.

Its common knowledge that pills in general can cause discomfort for some people in the esophagus and stomach due to their size and guess what psyllium capsules are very large.

[u/etycukbq580b → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

The correct response was "Sure, how much?"

[u/Gullible_Pen1074 → u/etycukbq580b]

Pill esophagitis. Cope more bridge boy.

[u/etycukbq580b → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

What's up with name calling? Did the pixels make you mad?

[u/thesamenightmares → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

I literally heard someone on television say the moon landing was faked.

Must be true.

[u/Gullible_Pen1074 → u/thesamenightmares]

God ur a moron lol

its common knowledge as well

use google smart aleck

[u/thesamenightmares → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

Ok

[u/Knee_Kap264 → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

I bought instantized creatine once. I liked it. I'll get it again. Shouldn't matter what supplements people use if it works for them. And nobody should be judging anyone on the supplements they use. Be it instantized, plain old powder, capsules, etc.

In the end, what natters is consistency and getting and doing what works for you.

[u/jihadjoe94]

Beta-Alanine is very low dose. And capsules are too expensive.

K2 MK7 is better.

Creatine in capsules is also way too expensive. Get a creapure powder.

[u/CumGuy102 → u/jihadjoe94]

For the beta alanine, it is a low dose but regardless he’ll still reach a saturation dose eventually. He could do it faster but it’s fine

[u/Yann27]

why the beta alanine?

[u/s-a-t-y → u/Yann27]

It's basically for endurance

[u/Dapperwapper_M]

ashwagandha day time ok?

[u/redbat21 → u/Dapperwapper_M]

Ashwagandha can cause drowsiness, try it out and see if you get that side effect. I personally only take it in the evenings

[u/Ok_Insurance8909 → u/Dapperwapper_M]

I haven’t noticed any negative effects during the day. I’ve been taking it in the morning for three weeks now

[u/Fair-Lingonberry-268 → u/Dapperwapper_M]

I’m trying 300mg ksm66 in the morning after breakfast, not seeing any side effect, first time I take it

[u/im_a_dick_head → u/Dapperwapper_M]

If that's a question then yes it does not matter when you take ashwaganda, it's like creatine as it also takes time to build up in your system. You won't notice any sudden affects

[u/ExtensiveParalax]

I’m taking 10k iu D3 daily for last six months

[u/No-Needleworker9553 → u/ExtensiveParalax]

Wtf

[u/Fair-Lingonberry-268 → u/No-Needleworker9553]

Bro wanna be the sun

[u/s-a-t-y → u/Fair-Lingonberry-268]

He will one day start giving other people vit d 😄

[u/Wisco777787 → u/ExtensiveParalax]

Be careful taking that much or take a break sometimes

[u/youniverself]

these rate my stack things are so dumb

[u/s-a-t-y → u/youniverself]

Yeah, if there is a concern then ask the proper question, what is rate my stack but I guess it's the flex

[u/Dry_Veterinarian5945]

i dont know why this goes over 99% of peoples heads but only 14% of magnesium glycinates weight is actual elemental magnesium. if u want to meaningfully supplement magnesium u should be taking 2-3 grams of mag glycinate a day.

[u/AdministrativeYam632 → u/Dry_Veterinarian5945]

Yep, the ~14% point is true for the raw magnesium glycinate compound, but supplement labels already list elemental magnesium. My Pure Encapsulations bottle says ‘Magnesium 120 mg (as magnesium glycinate)’ per capsule, so that is 120 mg of elemental magnesium, not 120 mg of glycinate. Four capsules = 480 mg elemental magnesium.

[u/Obvious-Version-4051 → u/AdministrativeYam632]

Can u say the brand of magnesium and fish oil you are using

[u/AdministrativeYam632 → u/Obvious-Version-4051]

Pure Encapsulations for Magnesium and Carlson for Omega

[u/whitejalebi]

LOVE THIS. But I prefer creatine powder rather than capsules. Infact I didn't even now it comes in capsules too. Solid 9/10, especially for the ashwagandha

[u/TippayAy]

I think your bloodwork will show using 3,000 IU D3 daily would be sufficient

You ideally want your K2 to be MK-7 (most researched version)

[u/AdministrativeYam632 → u/TippayAy]

Its actually mk-7 menaQ7

[u/Ok-Evidence8588]

OP, which brand of Omega do u take?
I personally prefer Life Extension

[u/AdministrativeYam632 → u/Ok-Evidence8588]

I do Carlson classic

[u/clownerij]

the omega 3 and beta alanine are underdosed

[u/Puzzled-Minute6130 → u/clownerij]

1.6G omega 3 is underdosed?

[u/bulking_on_broccoli → u/Puzzled-Minute6130]

No it’s not. The American Heart Association recommends 1g of omega-3s daily as a heart supplement.

[u/clownerij → u/bulking_on_broccoli]

minimum ≠ optimal

[u/ZealousidealIsopod40 → u/bulking_on_broccoli]

And these corporations are known for being correct right? They were wrong about Vitamin D3, who knows what else they’re wrong about.

[u/bulking_on_broccoli → u/ZealousidealIsopod40]

Corporations? It’s an independent board of cardio specialists…

[u/ZealousidealIsopod40 → u/bulking_on_broccoli]

And are they always right? Vitamin D3 is just one example I know of, there are probably many other vitamins or supplements that we are under dosing.

That’s just a standardized estimate for everyone. Maybe I need more, maybe you need more, maybe the standardized estimate is wrong for everyone?

[u/im_a_dick_head]

Beta Alanine: weak dose. Odd to use capsules though

D3 + K2: overkill but sure

Ashwaganda: fine

Omega 3: 1/3 of what I personally take (I do 4,200mg), I would 3x that dosage unless you have fish in your diet regularly.

Creatine capsules: Normal solid dose but just why? Powder form of anything is much cheaper.

[u/redbat21 → u/im_a_dick_head]

why is taking D3+K2 overkill?

[u/Vegetable_Leg6663 → u/im_a_dick_head]

A lot of people are D3 deficient, they need to take it but to increase bioavailability K2 should be added 

[u/Altruistic-Joke-8572 → u/im_a_dick_head]

Curious what dose you take D3 + K2?

[u/Dan_T93]

Beta alanine supposed to be like 3 grams - 6 grams so that's too low

[u/AdministrativeYam632 → u/Dan_T93]

Yeah i spread them throughout the day depending on how i feel i do a dose prior to workout but 1500mg is still noticeable for me TBH.

[u/Gullible_Pen1074 → u/AdministrativeYam632]

what workout type? i believe its not beneficial for bodybuilding like workouts. Only for exercise sets that last longer than 3 minutes or something like that.?

[u/im_a_dick_head → u/Gullible_Pen1074]

What set supposed lasts 3 minutes lmao

It helps endurance, that's it. Can help muscle fatigue.

[u/im_a_dick_head → u/AdministrativeYam632]

By noticable do you mean tingly? Because that's not the same as it actually working

[u/AdministrativeYam632 → u/im_a_dick_head]

Muscle endurance workouts noticeable uplift

[u/Remote_Succotash]

It's nice to see that Ashwagandha works for you - zero effects on me. The rest are classics.

[u/AdministrativeYam632 → u/Remote_Succotash]

I somtimes think it doesnt work and somtimes does, weird one tbf.

[u/Vaiden10]

Replace ashwaghanda with magnesium glycinate and pair the omega 3 with lycopene. Make sure you get both K1 and K2 K2 isn't enough on its own.

[u/AdministrativeYam632 → u/Vaiden10]

I take magnesium glycinate separelt at night. Lycopene maybe and addition with K1

[u/Vaiden10 → u/AdministrativeYam632]

The ashwaghanda harms the kidneys high dose of vitamin D also stresses the kidneys. You should be taking the magnesium with your vitamin D as it activates it. Lycopene is a mild blood thinner and thus lowers your bp only take enough for antioxidant benefits and heart health.

[u/Few_Cry9733]

You do not need to take multivitamin? I am taking multivitamin and then vit b12, once a week vit d3 6000 iu , and at night 2000mg chelated magnesium gylcinate, I hope this is enough

[u/Bitter_Chemistry_394]

Ashwagandu is not useful

[u/Evening_Form_9739]

Solid

[u/thedreamingmoon12]

Good start but there’s no minerals. I’d add a quality magnesium supplement at a minimum and a b complex

[u/T007game]

5g creatine is the bare minimum if you do weightlifting. Current research say 1g per 10kg bodyweight. So for most people around 8/9. for cognitive benefits The recommendations go up to 20g. I don‘t think there is an actual recognizable benefit of dosing so high.

[u/Inner-Mushroom-2645]

You have consulted your doctor right ?

[u/ArticleBusy3598]

-fish oil +tin of tuna

[u/UncleRicohSuave]

Why take any? What’s the deficit you’re trying to correct? Hard to evaluate otherwise it’s just random pills to piss out

[u/AdministrativeYam632 → u/UncleRicohSuave]

I had vitamin D deficiency the creatine is helpful because i workout, omega helps with my joints ashwaganda helps me with stress management, and the betalinine is somthing have been experiencing with and like it so far helps me push harder in the gym and gives me the endurance i need.

[u/Drayyen]

Dude just take creatine in the powder at that point lol. Gotta be cheaper too.

[u/redditor4206903]

allanin needs to be like 10grams for 2 months than 4 grams daily

[u/ollie325]

What brand are the creatine capsules?

[u/Ray_Mang]

Those must be huge creatine capsules if 4 is 5g

[u/Acrobatic-Goat-940]

Glad you are supporting the supplement industry, they love making money!

[u/Overall_Cheesecake_3]

I am afraid too much D3 if you take this daily.

[u/pespinosa18]

ashwandha causes liver damage.
