@Ecstatic_Hamster Glad to hear I'm not the only one

I heard Georgi say on a few podcast appearances that thiamine is really the only supplement he takes because a diet high in carbs/ sugar depletes it and taking it lets you eat a few hundred more calories for the energy.

I wonder if vitamin B1 thiamine is unsaturated like vitamin A, because I became cold after trying a normal dose of it (100 mg-200mg) last week. I've been hypothyroid my whole life but i take levothyroxine 100mcg every day. Then again, perhaps it just lowered all my other B vitamins.
I developed a fever with chills after adding magnesium glycinate thinking it depleted magnesium. Maybe it had the opposite effect and sped up my metabolism too much? I got weakness of the muscles and crazy soreness in my shoulders and neck from sleeping on them like it was an overdose of magnesium. It only got better once I took 300 mgs aspirin for the pain and the next day the weakness and soreness was gone.
I feel much better now and my digestion has been weirdly good ever since, but I'm hesitant to supplement B1 for energy maxxing again anytime soon. I may already have good levels of it despite all the extra sugars/ carbs in my diet.
If anyone has experience or advice to share regarding thiamine supplementation in general when it comes to getting extra carbs it would be more than welcome. I may have just had a reaction to the specific source being the potent powdered version from lifegivingstore, so share sources down below as well.

i've felt better eating fresh ground beef over leaner cuts of steak/chicken recently. I've heard haidut talk about glycogen still being in it if its fresh enough. i have no problems with the hydrolized gelatin digestion wise and it seems to work well supplementing. I want to see how I feel on the broth recipe though in the future, it seems like it would be good to make on the weekend and ration throughout the week.
