@sneedful now foods beef gelatin because its the best bang for your buck, if money was no object Id go for carnivore aurelias seems to be the highest quality on the market

@LetTheRedeemed I'd imagine taking that much isolated glycine would irritate your gut. other amino acids in gelatin are also antiinflammatory.

"Some types of cell damage are prevented almost as well by alanine and proline as by glycine, so the use of gelatin, rather than glycine, is preferable, especially when the gelatin is associated with its normal biochemicals. For example, skin is a rich source of steroid hormones, and cartilage contains “Mead acid,” which is itself antiinflammatory." -peat

eat enough. avoid pufa. try and get regular sleep schedule. keep smoking cigs and drinking coffee or energy drinks or whatever if you want to. listen to how you feel and don't stop evolving. bonus points if you start supplementing thyroid or taking progesterone, biggest needle movers in way of reducing stress hormone for me

@Mossy got the idea from someone on the old forum who was talking about doing the same thing for hemorrhoids and having really good results. I tried smaller amounts and found that 50 to 60 grams is most effective. you'd be getting 15-20 grams of glycine with that much gelatin, which is a big contributor to its anti-inflammatory effects, plus your GI tract is comprised of collagen so it only makes sense to supplement for GI healing.

don't really get any constipation issues with it, but i think i have really good motility. maybe some cascara with it for increased peristalsis could help?

@saduakas
increase dopamine basically, stack from @spheno_xiphoid on twitter:

-9-methyl-β-carboline
-Bromantane
-Uridine monophosphate
-Phenylalanine

Complemented by:
-High dose thiamine + other B vitamins
-Vitamin C
-Creatine
-Bright sunlight

I have an on and off hemorrhoid issue that i can clear up pretty consistently by megadosing gelatin powder. 60 grams dissolved in oj before bed for a day or two usually clears it up.

@gg12 Increase dietary calcium. This is because adequate dietary calcium can prevent the body from pulling calcium from the bones into the bloodstream. dairy products or powdered eggshells. lower parathyroid will improve thyroid production, which is what converts cholesterol into testosterone.

@Insomniac a meaningful and fulfilling life can make up for a lot of things

how are your personal relationships? do you have a path/passions? good nutrition cant save you from a meaningless life

@solsasha14 Nausea, low appetite, and loose poops all potentially sound like serotonin symptoms. i get a complete reversal of all 3 of those from cypro. such a small dose doesn't make me sleepy, but everyone is different

@solsasha14 .5mg cypro before gym completely eliminates my post-gym fatigue. ray said this was caused by serotonin

@Sugarnotsnow if everything is good i can get like 3 no-wipers a day, which is why it sucks because I'm so close to digestion perfection

@RawGoatMilk88 mike miser and his stupid ideas need to go away!!! bro was blasting roids and died before he turned 50!!

@Pooooop if your goal is hypertrophy, more is more. Every study on the topic has shown continual growth (however diminishing) \ even up to 50 hard sets a week depending on certain muscle groups.

dont think he's ever spoken or written about disordered eating. you could potentially extend the bioenergetic view of addiction to anorexia tho. generally, mental disorders are described as some sort of disturbance of the endocrine system originating from potentially epigenetic malnutrition. probably more useful to view anorexia in a societal context

ive found that taking some t3 while cutting is a good way to keep metabolism from dropping and to not feel like shit

a message to all my fellow toilet warriors having bloody bathroom battles on the daily, yet again glycine is to the rescue.

been dealing with on-and-off ruby red evacuations (part of me saw this as potentially good, less iron accumulation! but lower hematocrits are def no good...) but in recent weeks they had gotten much more grusome. heroic does of gelation to the rescue. 60 grams of gelation, abt 17g of glycine, dissolved in some beautiful orange juice, and the next day... lo and behold no bleeding to be found!

will update on further tinkering

never forget the profound anti-inflammatory effects of the glycine god

@mavuue nothing particularly outside of my normal supps, next time i cut I'm going to add niacin to reduce blood triglycerides and oxidative stress during fat loss tho

goes crazy for retaining muscle and energy on a cut, you have to be willing to endure the hunger tho, cuz it gets real.
went from 195 to 185 morning weight in like 12 days on vacation because eating out was either poison or too expensive, with what seems like very minimal to no muscle loss
