    @LucH - Thank you. That was more information than I had anticipated. I will read it and try to apply it in my life.

      I'm wondering what people value as their most important daily supplement (vitamin, mineral, hormone, etc). For your choice, why?

      Thyroid is the supplement that had the greatest impact on my health, but the only supplement I continue to use is vitamin D3 (Premier Research Labs). When my thyroid function was poor, supplementing vitamin D kept me from becoming deficient, even when I was sunbathing regularly, and now I use it year round primarily as a sleep aid.

        @SpaceManJim Yeah higher doses are simply just too unaffordable for me right now. 15 mg is crazy though

            Magnesium glycinate for me. 400mg of the doctor’s best product knocks me out.

              At this particular moment in time I would choose brain food, pure glucose. If you repair the brain, you may find your supplement list shrinks dramatically.

                  Not sure if the following are available in your area but two common brand names are Bulk Supplements and Pure Bulk.

                  Amazon lists a few others when using the search term Magnesium Glycinate powder

                    this makes no sense tbh as everyone knows t3, coffee, sugar etc are very underrated and all those can probably be classed as supplements (esp sugar in the amounts people on peating eat), me personally I cant do without magnesium but its cause magnesium is something i get deficient in easily, not that it addresses all my problems or anything (although it does do a lot for sleep stress and relaxation and also energy/recovery). If underrated I would say taurine but that may be cos im vegetarian mostly and not getting enough from the diet. Im interested in trying beta alanine as well cos its been shown to lower brain serotonin wihle depleting histidine and manufacturing carnosine (another amino acid thats mostly gotten from meat)

                    If I can include pharma then maybe memantine (very promising to me apart from its impairing effects on sleep for me - still trying to figure that one out, although i think all anti serotonergic substances interfere w sleep one way or another), and baclofen once in a while (although not daily as you said). LSD for a reset

                    suppls I can take or leave: tianeptine (effects on sleep not worth it to me), kratom(twice or thrice a week mayb good ) , MSM, NAC, Vitamin C, Vitamin D , Vitamin b2, niacinamide, methylcobalamin, tetra hydro folic acid (although i suspect i need to expirement more w this as i drink a lot of cows milk)

                        What do y’all think of topical mag chloride?

                        I’ve heard it can increase mag levels quicker than oral mag.

                          For me the topical works a treat. Life- Flo Magnesium oil.....
                          I usually use DMSO with it, so, .... !?!
                          Fast, easy, effective, and it doesn't have any 'loose bowels' activity, which is not a direction I need. (I already have a decent transit time 20-24 hours). For some folks who are constipated, oral may actually be better for this reason.
                          I use approx. 400mg at a go. 80 kg or so, and muscles always fairly taught, like wood! hehehe...
                          Also at times I buy the magnesium from the AG shop, WAY cheaper than the 'epsom salts' from the store, and it is great in a bath. Magnesium Sulfate I believe it is... .

                          Other than magnesium, as a mineral supplement, I do like pure water. Not just a supplement, but a staple... I realize that I have been drinking mainly rainwater or spring water for the most of 10 years now. So just normal air pollutants, not any fluoride/chloride.... . Not joking. When I go to town, or visit by car, I bring some litres of water with me, to remind me of how good clean water is compared to the city stuff.

                            For me it has to be Creatine or Emoxypine. Methylene blue is up there too. Creatine makes my muscles look bigger and perform better and emoxypine keeps my mind clear after workouts. Methylene blue is amazing. Gives me great energy, and synergizes with the emoxypine.

                            I’m planning on doing an experiment with the Russian actoprotector Bemethyl soon as well as the Russian drug Cytoflavin. Perhaps one of them will prove to be even better than the ones I mentioned.

What’s more likely to affect my sleep negatively are the excipients. I used to get the NOW brand of vitamin D drops until I discovered that the MCT oil it contains was irritating my intestines and disturbing my sleep. I switched to vitamin D in olive oil and haven’t had a problem since.

                                        Ok, good to know that it works am or pm for you. I also have vitamin D in olive oil, which I also find better than the MCT, where the MCT gave me what I've described as a serotonin effect in the gut, but maybe your description that it's irritating the intestines is more accurate. Do you purposely stay away from the other supplements that many pair with vitamin D — Vitamin K2, Magnesium, Calcium, and Vitamin A? I'd be interested to know how you've concluded to just use vitamin D (if that indeed is the case). I've heard many share that these co-factors are needed to properly facilitate vitamin D, such as to direct calcium into the bones versus the blood. I ask out of genuine interest, not because I think I know better or am suggesting otherwise. I like the idea of taking less supplements when possible.

                                          Theres supplements that i take because i think its a good idea like vit d3,k2, magnesium, taurine.

                                          But, being true to the question the one thing that i notice i couldnt do without at the moment is progest-e. I have high adrenaline and this really helps me manage it, and slowly it has been bringing it down over time.

                                          Just as a side note, iv had a heavy cold for a month that wouldnt budge so started megadosing vit c (15grams/day) and using an iodine salt pipe. The cold was gone in a week after that, so based on the situation this may have been number one last week!
