@LucH Ok thank you! Yes main purpose is energy and brain function so I'd assume they go together? Thank you for the explanation, yes I am supplementing without taking into account possible side effects as I am just listening to my body. An experiment if you will. So when would you advise taking the Mg, am I fine taking the B1 and B complex in the first part of the day and Mg after dinner?

I was looking to start taking Thiamine (TTFD) paired with Mg Glycinate and a B complex. I have read the thiamine will be mentally stimulating so people like to take it earlier in the day, but I usually take the Mg in the evening to sleep. Do they have to be taken at the same time? What else should I know when I start supplementing these? Thank you

@LucH I actually have an ostomy bag after suffering from ulcerative colitis. Lost 100 pounds from September to March of this previous year and had my colon removed in February. Gained it all back by now

@LucH Thank you! My training schedule is pretty set but I alternate Between upper and lower body so I’m Lifting same muscle group like once every three days if not more break. So i Have to prioritize rest and recovery and minimize stress.
Would having 1-2 bananas And lots of potatoes Be sufficient for the potassium?
I do take Mg and L-theanine before bed usually

I am currently training for professional baseball and seeking advice on my protocol for muscle gain, energy and hormonal optimization.

I am about 6’5 215 and 21 years old at the moment and have an intense training schedule where I lift 4 days a week and practice 4-5+ days a week. Would love to put on another 20+ pounds while I keep getting stronger. I am relatively new to the community and brand new to this forum. Playing around with the diet has been really fun as I can try things I’d never expect to try and gain weight, heavy cream, condensed milk, milk, lots of orange juice etc. I like the idea of getting just enough protein in for growth (100-140g?) and using the rest of my calories to fuel the process.

Just a day ago I started taking androsterone and pansterone and tocovit, interested to see how those make me feel.

Overall I’d love opinions on what I can adjust or add or remove from my protocol to optimize the growth process through diet and hormones (without anabolic steroids).

Thank you all
