[@alancameron6937]

Never take D3 without K2 as MK7 and Mk4, they act differently, otherwise you risk calcification of arteries , but don't take them at same time, they may compete for absorption, always take D3 in morning, K2 at least 2 hours later.

Thanks I recently suffered from Covid & my Testosterone dropped from 750 down to 350. I used all of these Supplements to help me Raise my Testosterone to 698 in 6 weeks. Plus other items like Ashwagandha, Fenugreek, Amino Acids, MACA, Boron ... Also focused on my Diet with weekly Salmon, Grass Fed Ground Beef, Chicken Soup & my usual 6 Raw Eggs for Breakfast in my All Natural Protein Drink Incudes 8 oz Milk, 1Tbs Ginger Root, 1 cup Pumpkin Seeds. I'm sure there is more but this was my Focus. My Daily Salads included Braggs AC Vinegar & Olive Oil & Avocado. Testosterone is not a Cure All. But it HELPS Keeping Men Healthy 🌞 Thanks for Posting the list.

[@Pheland123]

I would choose Iodine/iodide - 12.5mg to fight cancer, detox halides and heavy metals, reduce hair loss, increase mental clarity and energy. Boron - 10mg to fight cancer, increase bone density(supports the parathyroid), increase sex drive, detox fluorine and helps the body retain magnesium/calcium. Magnesium oil - 400 to 800mg. Make sure its low in heavy metals. MSM - 1-5 gram to reduce inflammation (cancer and muscle soreness), increase wound healing, energy, mental clarity, focus. Methylated B vitamins/dessicated beef liver capsules. K2 - for bone density Vitamin D3 Fish oil

[@johnchandler1]

Interesting mate, thanks for you’re take on it. Magnesium oil? Much better than the tablets? Never come across it. I’m with u on boron. Testosterone booster too I’d load up on it for 10 day cycle. MSM? Another ive never tried. No space for Nac in your list? I quite like it. All the best mate.

Hey Thomas, love your channel - thanks for all the great content.

[@Revolution-tl5wo]

It should be noted that magnesium is best absorbed through the skin, *not* the digestive tract. You can overspend on "magnesium oil" or else make it yourself by dissolving magnesium chloride flakes (not the same as epsom salt) in warm water in a 1:1 ratio. Put it in a spray bottle an use liberally. The system doesn't store magnesium so you can't technically overdose, but if you start getting diarrhea then scale back a bit. Adding it to your shampoo and conditioner is another great way to absorb it as well as stave off gray hairs ;)

[@RobClouseau]

I Love your Passion, Thomas!

[@MrMikearama]

Solid video. No hype, no agenda, no bull. Great explanation. Nice to see you were honest about protein too... actually going so far as to comment on the insulin response being positive. Good on ya!

The best way to take magnesium is via the skin. Use the liquid form, put it on your body. Let it soak in for 20+ minutes, then rinse off in the shower. Your body will absorb it's maximum amount needed without going beyond that. The book Transdermal Magnesium Therapy by Mark Sircus Md is an excellent read on the subject. Yes....most people are magnesium deficient.

Hey Thomas, I’ve watched so many of your videos and gained so much! But I’m wondering your thoughts on turmeric’s effects on DHT (testosterone). Dr Andrew Huberman talks about this on the Tim Ferriss show and how it can negatively effect DHT levels.

[@alancameron6937]

Magnesium CITRATE is a good choice, it has the added benefit in neutralising the toxic effect of Oxalate, get the powdered form from PipingRock, it doesn't have all the unwanted additives,simply put the required dose in a glass of water and sip it throughout the day, and you won't get any problems

[@Squall576582]

Thomas can you compile a list of quality brands on Amazon for these supplements?

[@randistrunk6329]

[@WildlifeEncountersNH]

[@jlewis391]

DIM is something to be careful of! From experience it hurt my joints and made it hard to stay hydrated. Maybe Thomas can explain a little bit why you need some estrogen. I'm only in my 20s but my joints aren't the best from all my high impact training. Took DIM for three months to increase my testosterone and my knees got way worse. I couldn't stay hydrating. My muscles ached more than ever. Stopped the DIM and problems went away. Now I only do it one month out of every three max. If you're even younger than me be extra careful. It is going to change your hormones, and not always for the better. Love Thomas and what he does just do your research people :)

[@MochaZilla]

Do you eat tons of greasy fatty meat? Sar fat is great for joints and tendons. Throwing some fish oil and turmeric in there can also help too

[@mop4093]

omega 3, collagen and turmeric for joints if you still want to use DIM

[@bryanbroacosta]

Guys you can get both 1 and 2 with cod liver oil instead of traditional omega 3 fish pills

[@toniangelo555]

Turmeric is healthy, but consuming daily for athletes can lower DHT levels. DHT are important for stamina and libido. If you're suffering from low levels of DHT I suppose it's not a good choice for now. Same for Zinc, consuming it daily can also lower your DHT which is also GABA antagonist. GABA is very important for your sleep and relaxation. I'm especially talking for individuals who are suffering at lower range levels from these hormones. So I wouldn't do it for daily. You can best cycle out, check your blood levels of your hormones, vitamins and nutritions as first..

[@fitzy1691]

Hi Thomas. Would appreciate if you can tell us the best times of the day to drink these supplements (i.e. With meals, on fasted state, before sleep etc.). Thank you!

Ratfish liver oil is the MOST potent fish oil that exists. Skate fish liver oil is also very similar to ratfish.

Krill is better than fish oil. It’s where the fish got it. Plus it’s water soluble and doesn’t burp back up.

How long should one “cycle” supplements/vitamins for, to get the most out of them. And or so the body doesn’t get used to them

[@bryanbroacosta]

From everything on this list there’s no tolerance to these and most of them are actually essential and is very scarce in the western diets, also if you do intermittent fasting then you’ll definitely not build any tolerance since you will always be insulin sensitive meaning you will always absorb the nutrients well

Hi, what is the difference between magnesium malate and DImagnesium malate? I live in the UK and can't find the dimagnesium, just magnesium malate.

[@sncnutrition7118]

The difference between magnesium malate and dimagnesium malate is that magnesium malate is a magnesium salt made up of one magnesium bound to one malic acid molecule, while dimagnesium malate consists of two magnesium atoms bound to a single malic acid molecule. The dimagnesium malate form will contain a greater amount of magnesium by weight than the magnesium malate form. Basically the Di version has 2 ions of magnesium bound to malic acid.

[@gabydewilde]

You've kept it nice and simple but sadly it isn't. Small fish to limit mercury is a very good point. They also farm fish on the most horrible food stuffs. I have no idea how to account for that or what it does for the suplements. Also ffs make sure the fish oil tablets are not rancid. Honestly! I hear flax might be an option but not everyone agrees. I hear vitamin D tablets are the wrong molecule and that there is no evidence they make up for sunlight. It might even be bad. Best not replace sunlight if you can get it. I take selenium and zink.
