00:00 💊 Supplements like B6 can cause neuropathy if taken excessively; adjusting dosage based on personal needs is crucial. 01:04 🐟 Attia takes Carlson's EPA and DHA for a targeted dose to achieve specific blood concentration levels. 01:59 ☀ Attia takes vitamin D at 5,000 IU daily, acknowledging the uncertainties and limitations of existing studies in the field. 03:04 ⚖ Slow mag, magnesium L3 inate, and magnesium oxide help Attia reach his daily magnesium intake goal of around 1 gram. 03:44 💉 Methyl folate and methyl B12 supplements are taken to maintain homocysteine levels below nine, impacting dosages based on biomarker results. 04:51 💊 Attia's use of a daily baby aspirin is supported by weak evidence for cardiovascular protection; he considers potential risks versus benefits. 06:12 🌿 Ashwagandha, glycine, and specific magnesium brands are part of Attia's evening supplement routine. 07:36 🥬 Attia takes Athletic Greens and a probiotic called "glucose control" by Pendulum in the morning, evaluating changes in supplements over time based on clinical evidence. 08:33 📉 Adjustments in his supplement regimen include trying new probiotics and fish oil brands, highlighting the importance of periodic reevaluation.

Hey Peter, if the capsules get clumped in the Nordic bottle while in the fridge, dont shake it hard. That's then they break and spill. I lay the bottle horizontally in the fridge and they have less pressure on eachother to compress into a clump, lay it down horizontally and it spreads the forces over a half circle vs a flat concentrated area over the height of the bottle.

Thank you for the useful insight. I (51, female) am taking (besides HRT ) quite a variety of supps but on the other hand I am still doubting the necessity. I spend a lot of money on them... My husband is from the island of Sardinia and we celebrated his grandfather`s 100s birthday a few years ago. He was a shepard for goats on the island, he ate meditteranean diet with a lot of self pressed olive oil, he drank a little wine on a daily basis and ate quite some pork which they raised and slaughtered themselves. I often think how unhealthy we live with all the pollution, the stressful jobs and the poisoned foods we eat. Makes me sad that we try to compensate this with supps instead of changing our lifestyles/ the world.

[@westunit777]

This is so true

[@madjag]

Investigate fresh Bee Pollen. It contains all the essential amino acids plus many of the non-essential aminos. It must be fresh and you should be able to compress a bit of pollen easily into a soft clump. If it's dry, it has lost a huge amount of enzymes, aminos, and vitamins. Beekeepers have a history of long, healthy life and I will attest to that being only 73 yet. I've eaten fresh bee pollen daily for 45+ years and now eat 1+ ounces daily. That amount I worked up to over the years and it supplies all the daily essential acids, has more protein per weight than beef, and is particularly high in Pantothenic Acid, also called vitamin B5, which helps turn the food you eat into the energy you need. It's important for many functions in the body, especially making and breaking down fats. I worked for a southern California beekeeper for about a year back in the early 1970's. He had 500 colonies and his brother had 1200. I learned a lot, got stung 5 times daily, and decided to include Bee Pollen in my diet for the rest of my life. So far, so good. I'm actually hoping that Peter investigates it and gives his summation concerning it. It's such a great natural source supplement, virtually without equal in the world of unprocessed (except by bees!) foods.

[@Draziell]

B6 causes neuropathy because excess of Pyridoxine blocks the coenzyme form P-5-P... So you should take both forms of B6 or focus on P-5-P

[@paulagibbs]

The neuropathy is only caused by the synthetic form of B6, which is Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, or Pyridoxine HCL, not natural B6. Not only is it made from nasty stuff, which is probably what causes the neuropathy, the vitamin B6 is poorly absorbed. I just threw out my B complex because it had Pyridoxine HCL. Pyridoxal 5’ phosphate (PLP) is the active coenzyme form and what you want to look for in your supplement.

[@chuckleezodiac24]

oh, shit. i've been taking that for 2 years. what am i gonna do with my expensive B6? i guess i'll just take it once a week until it runs out.

[@2K9s]

@@chuckleezodiac24 You’re fine unless your symptoms are backed by lab results. * pyridoxine Vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin found naturally in many foods, as well as added to foods and supplements. Pyridoxal 5’ phosphate (PLP) is the active coenzyme form and most common measure of B6 blood levels in the body. PLP is a coenzyme that assists more than 100 enzymes to perform various functions, including the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats; maintaining normal levels of homocysteine (since high levels can cause heart problems); and supporting immune function and brain health. Vitamin B6 plays an essential role in the normal functioning of the central nervous system. Normal homocysteine (Hcy) serum level is maintained by remethylation of Hcy to methionine by enzymes that require folic acid and vitamin B12 and by catabolism to cysteine by a vitamin B6-dependent enzyme.

I got painful neuropathy by taking too much B6. It can be horrible and irreversible. But cutting back on any B6 supplements I reduced the pain, but it is now permanent.

[@shawnfaust2165]

I really appreciate that Dr. Attia shared this amount of detail. I completely understand his hesistancy, but is another data point for listeners to consider for their personal decisions.

[@peanutbutterpluto]

These amounts are just not necessary for most people except maybe elite athletes (those training 35+ hours) and I say maybe. Unless you have some medical issue, we can get more than enough B6 + B12 et al from a healthy diverse diet. The half life for B12 is 6 days so we have about 30 days in our blood, 400 days in our liver. We store about 170mg of b6 in muscles or about 150 days worth + neurotoxicity is a real issue with B6. Vitamin D3 about 2 months worth. Magnesium about 200 days worth. Thus, most people who eat a healthy diverse diet will NOT suffer from low micronutrients unless there's a medical issue or their diet is low in micronutrients for a prolonged period in the context of vigorous exercise. Servings of Salmon, Chicken Breast, Bananas, Avocado, Sweet Potato + Pistachio nuts will give 250% of RDA for B6 Servings of beef, milk, eggs + those listed above will give you 450% for B12 Now we don't absorb 100% of our RDI. In fact, absorption rates drop. For example, 150mg of vitamin C or below and we absorb up 90% but above it falls to 50%. My approach is this: at the beginning of the month I take aforementioned supplements for the first 5 days to start the month. The absorption rates for supplementing B6 for example is much higher than a mixed diet - 95% v 75%. This will bump up my body stores and I let diet take care of the rest for remaining 25 days.

[@prosewat99]

Magnesium and D3 are the tough ones, with most people being deficient. When you start supplementing the RDA of magnesium, it’s three horse pills per day. Good luck eating enough dark leafy greens to get that. Iv’e heard it’s about 6 cups every day, that’s as big as your head. Very few of us are eating that much salad every day. There is good data that shows a linear relationship to magnesium deficiency and cancer rates. D3 is tough too, if you don’t live in an equatorial location . If you put on sunscreen, wear clothes and it’s in the winter months you are probably deficient too.

There IS such a thing as Vit D toxicity so unless you have a problem with producing enough I personally feel that the dose is too high. I stopped the D all together when that happened but later started taking 2,000 IU again when my D was a little low. I used to take so many supplements because they were supposed to help with XYZ and then my husband (a physician) suggested that I take a good age specific multivitamin and mineral rather than buying so many separate supplements which made sense so that’s what I’m currently doing plus add a few specific supplements if feel I need based on my levels and/or symptoms.

This is why I love collagen, very high in glycine and has everything else except tryptophan which I wouldn't want to supplement anyways. Very bioavailible and no hormone issues and other stuff to consider like whey. So don't need to bother with glycine nac EAA. A normal dose of Silymarin or selenium gives more of a increase in glutathione production than NAC+Glycine just as a tip. Selenium is already in a decent multi mineral. Silymarin is cheap and gives liver benefits which is great too so still worth taking.

I agree, great info but it's not very affordable - especially ones like Athletic Greens. If you're wanting to still optimise your health while keeping the costs down you could go for Spirulina + Chlorella 1000mg each morning and night (this is a large majority of the ingredients of AG1 while being less than 1/10 the cost) Omega 3, Magnesium l-threonate before bed, Vitamin D and B12.

💎Peter I hope you're aware of the ANHEDONIA associated with Ashwagandha usage. The effect of chronic Ashwagandha (8+ weeks) on 5-HT receptors, at least on depressed rats, is allegedly comparable to that of chronic SSRI or ECT treatment. This is probably the most useful way to look at it The study says this effect is reduced sensitivity of 5-HT1A and increased the sensitivity of 5-HT2 receptors, as measured by response to selective agonists of each. My theory is that presynaptic 5HT1a or autoreceptors - which are independent units with different location by my understanding - do almost nothing, except inhibit serotonin when upregulated, which improves my motivation and emotional anhedonia (terrible motivation and emotional anhedonia when downregulated with Ashwagandha). Stimulation of the 5‐HT2C receptor with 5‐HT2C agonists results in delay of ejaculation in male rats, whereas stimulation of post‐synaptic 5‐HT1A receptors results in shortening of ejaculation latency 7, leading to the hypothesis that men with premature ejaculation (PE) may have hyposensitivity of 5‐HT2C and/or hypersensitivity of the 5‐HT1A receptor. Ashwagandha significantly enhances the sensitivity of 5 HT2 (serotonin-2) receptors in the brain and a reciprocal sub-sensitivity of the 5HT1A receptors (19). Enhanced sensitivity could indicate reduces binding, as over-stimulation of a receptor will reduce it’s sensitivity. 5-HT2 stimulation increases prolactin (5-HT2A) and ACTH (5-HT2C) release. This may indicate one of the mechanism at which ashwagandha is potently anti-cortisol, as it reduces 5-HT2C sensitivity, thus reducing cortisol synthesis.

[@kiramiftari9486]

🚨 I found whole groups of ppl who were affected by Ashwghanda in this negative way… Some cant recover for years! I myself went through smth like that: I absolutely LOVED the effects of Ashwaghanda in nervous system, but decided to take a break - which BTW is the RIGHT way to take most herbs! I immediately, within just a few days, developed symptoms of depression and anhedonia… It took me a couple of months of absolute misery to recover! I Thankfully Ifound the forums dedicated to this topic, and it gave me some hope that it wasnt my brain chemistry and my body suddenly failing me, that it might bave been the herb. And I did recover, thankfully! ‼️ But I caution EVERYONE to take breaks and monitor their symptoms. Some develop anhedonia WHILE taking the herb, nit just after taking a break.

Aspirin have more benefits than many realize. 1) Increases telomerase 2) powerful anti-inflammatory (which causes many pisitive downstream effects) 3) improves endothelial membrane. May be one of several supplements that combined may prevent or even reverse atherosclerosis (more evidence needed) 4) may to some degree be important for brain function 5) may imorove liver and kidney markers. And latest research from extremely large studies indicate that aspirin does not increase risk of severe bleedings, even though it increases non-severe bleedings to some degree. I think that bleeding risk can easily be prevented by cycling off aspirine for a few days now and then.

[@suzanneemerson2625]

Careful with baby aspirins. My friend took one each day for a year and ended up in the hospital with a bleeding stomach ulcer. The ER doctor said he lost HALF of the blood in his body. Needed an endoscopic procedure to stop the bleeding, and then several transfusions of blood. While in the hospital overnight, they had to go in again to stop the bleeding from the ulcer because it was leaking again. More transfusions. My friend hadn’t used the correct protocol with the aspirin tablets. He was supposed to drink a full glass of warm water before swallowing the aspirin, and then another half glass about 15 min. later. He was a big, tough, strong, athletic man, and just took the aspirin on an empty stomach with a little sip of coffee every morning before going to the gym for his 6 a.m. workout. He figured he’d hydrate during his workout. His stomach hurt a bit, but he was used to pushing through pain. Then one weekend, he almost died. His doctor had approved the aspirin idea, even though my friend had no cardiac problems. He had just turned 58, the age his father was when he had died of a sudden heart attack. He was worried, even though he had no symptoms. When he saw his doctor after his hospital adventure, the doc told him that he had done the exact same thing himself after they had talked, and had had almost the identical outcome, nearly dying in the hospital from a bleeding stomach ulcer. So please be careful.

[@davidmorley227]

Question for you as you are a sponsor of AG1. How am I supposed to know if I'm getting the health benefits from AG1's proprietary blends if they aren't meeting the peer reviewed clinical dosages? For example, the digestive enzyme blend has only 154 mg with Astragalus being the most abundant but clinical studies have shown you need way more (of Astralagus and that doesn't leave much room for the other mushrooms) to get any benefit. It kind of seems like 75 products jammed into one bag claiming that more is better even if the dosages aren't significant enough to improve health and justify their claims.

[@user-ue4he3li8b]

Ever notice how LOW the Vitamin A content in AG1 despite being a "greens" powder? It takes a VERY small dose of "greens" to hit 100% Vitamin A and last I checked it was defintely under 100%, something like 70%. Any greens powder blend I've seen besides AG1 has multiples more vitamin A and therefore multiples more "greens", be it wheat grass, barley grass, other any other. It's a complete ripoff and I swore off that whole green-muck category of products because they always gave me acid reflux from rancidity. If you really want "greens", check out a liquid-chlorella product in a glass bottle. That always left my breath feeling extra fresh and my overall health just feeling lighter and "healthier" (which is about the best you can expect). GNC used to have a "whole food vitamin powder mix" that I felt good with but they've been acquired by the Chinese government recently so you'll have to look elsewhere. Honestly, just eat real food, namely high quality meat. Just look at the state of India, all of them scrambling to scrounge together a boatload of ingredients just to make one meal and they're still a miserable, excrement-inundated mess with poor overall health outcomes. The West would be better if it wasn't poisoned with glyphosate/Roundup and simliar pesticides and all the preservatives and additives and plastics by the same people that own the media, winkwink.

My take on supplementation on Dr. Attia's 1) Fish oil - I eat fish/seafood 2 times a week, that is plenty of omega 3s where I don't think I need to supplement 2) Vitamin d - he's exactly right, its a 5 dollar bill supplement. I live in the north east of the united states, I supplement 5000 IU in the wintertime about 3-4 times a week and in the summer I drop to 2000 IU 4 times a week. 3) Magnesium, I take before bed (Magnesium glycinate only), my son is on the spectrum so I give more magnesium, vitamin b6 and a probiotic which has helped with all symptoms of Autism and he went from a level 2 diagnosis to a level 1 diagnosis (3 variations of autism level 1 being least severe and level 3 being severe) and according to his therapists he may lose his diagnosis in about 5 years. (This is also with different therapies as well so those vitamins are not a cure for autism) 4) Vitamin b6 - I take 100 MG 2 times a week 5)Aspirin - I take a baby aspirin sometimes, usually for me its to help with a stronger erection. I supplement this with citrulline malate and I notice a stronger erection. I do not use it every day (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7607788/) 6) Ashwagandha - I take KSM 66 (basically a purified version of Ashwagandha before bed as well as 1 MG of melatonin most nights) 7) prebiotic/probiotic - Yes 3.4 billion as well as a greek yogurt for breakfast most mornings.
