What you are most likely noticing is the effect it has on mitochondria. These kind of compounds that stimulate the mitochondria should be present in everyone's stack as a baseline before adding in more nootropics.
Life Extension Super Ubiquinol Coq10 with Biopqq Softgels, 30 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DBYI6RQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_mAogzbX2W0ZG5
This is one I just recently ordered and will experiment with daily. It has CoQ10, Shilajit and PQQ.
Personally I use Now Foods brand for most all of my supplements.
I've been using their Policosanol, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Green Tea, and Super Odorless Garlic for 5+ years now.
Mind you, this is simply my opinion. I've not tried many other brands nor kept any records to compare results.
alright here goes my exhaustive list of stuff that goes into my preworkout! i love to research the stuff that works, and then experiment to see how effectively they work for me, especially on keto.

phew! making this list made me realize how much time and effort i put into the trial and error of my preworkout. of course, i supplement a lot of this stuff with my other meals as well. as you can see, i'm very big on supplements, biohacking, and nootropics. i read up a lot on research in my spare time.
Try adding pterostilbene. I think after two weeks if you still feel no difference add TMG. Take TMG at night though. It might make you sleepy.
I really started to feel a difference with this after two weeks.

Seconding ubiquinol, I was told to take the Jarrow brand. I take this:
https://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Ubiquinol-QH-Absorb-Absorption-Stability/dp/B004VCOOUU/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?srs=2594267011&ie=UTF8&qid=1481563896&sr=8-2&keywords=coq10&th=1
Oh my God. You perfectly described something I was getting back in August. I found that avoiding wheat and taking astaxanthin + turmeric/ginger has alleviated it completely.
Just came back from the bar actually. I'm trying this for the first time/bottle. I've had varied outcomes over my past few outings, but there have also been variables such as not eating much/carbs, time interval in taking the tablets before drinking, and drinking alcohols with varied %'s.
The directions suggest taking 2 pills an hour prior to drinking, and I initially tested the limits by taking them only immediately before drinks or only taking 1 pill. My latest iteration has brought me to following the instructions as well as the follow up of taking 2 more at the bar, which seemed to work tonight.
I think this stuff is similar to the elixir that was spammed here a few weeks back, but at least it's in a more portable pill form.
This is also supposed to be better than antacids because it doesn't just cover up the symptoms, but it provides your body the organic chems it needs to break down the alcohol.
Can report back when I've exhausted trials, just ordered another bottle since it only comes 30 in one.
I take allopurinol every day and take 1-2 of these per day: Tart Cherry Concentrate - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TP54IFO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_swyXpWgsK64lA
Also, cherry juice from Cheribundi seems to be helpful. There have been some close calls, but I've been attack-free since February.
You should get some Coenzyme Q10, Omega-3 Fatty Acids (ie fish oil or algae oil), Astaxanthin, and lots and lots of Garlic. Your heart and cardiovascular system will thank you.
Also make sure to exercise (not while on stimulants) regularly and vigorously (heart rate is up for a while), be mindful of your salt intake, be mindful of your trans/saturated fats (processed foods), and try to download/use a meditation app like Headspace.
Last reply before I need to get out of the house. Yes, fighting hunger can be tough, especially in the last hour or two of the 16-hour fast. I fight it by drinking water and coffee (not to excess, just a cup when hunger begins), and by staying busy with work to keep my mind off it. [Edit: R-Lipoic acid also has proven appetite-suppressant, weight loss effects.] It gets easier with time, as your body learns to accept a certain level of hunger, which sometimes even passes on its own. That, I believe, is a function of the body's improved handling of insulin levels. Just keep in mind that the human body didn't evolve to be constantly fed. For most of our evolutionary development, we experienced frequent but temporary levels of hunger as we hunted and gathered, before agriculture gave us a more steady supply of food, so remember that enduring a bit of hunger is actually much more healthy and natural than feeding the sensation the moment it pops up. After just a few weeks of intermittent fasting, contrary to myth that "breakfast is the most important meal," I felt noticeable improvements in energy and mental clarity throughout the day.
For my eating window, I don't bother trying to eat a commensurate amount of calories. I just eat normal-sized meals, without eating excess carbs (I'm not fully keto) in order to avoid blood sugar spikes and crashes. I have lunch at the end of my 16-hour window, then a protein bar or some trail mix for a light snack mid-afternoon, then a normal, healthy dinner. When I have lunch the next day depends on when I eat dinner (+16 hours, of course). I consume absolutely no food or sugar during the fast period (drink coffee black), as this will cancel out the benefits of the fast.
Good luck and take care.
ALA in it's alpha form isn't the best product to take. You end up pissing out most of it. It doesn't absorb well at all. Ever notice your urine stinks when you take it? R- Lipoic Acid is absorbed much better.
R-Lipoic Acid This is the one I take. I started taking it for the very reason you claimed, it helps when you overdue a carb here or there and with me being hypoglycemic and occasionally having bouts of reactive hypoglycemia (esp when I eat to much protein) it helps keep that under control. I keep taking it because of the antioxidants benefits.
I would go for the bioastin 12 mg one unless you want to take 4 mg 3 times a day (12 mg is the "more effective" dose)

Take this. For years I have had issues waking up several times a night, but now I sleep 6-8 hours like a rock and feel way better in the morning. I bought it to reduce inflammation and soreness and speed up recovery between workouts (it really works), but apparently it has a small amount of melatonin in it....no weird dreams or grogginess in the morning but 45-60 minutes after you take it you will get pretty tired and will sleep like a baby. Best thing I have ever bought:

Thank you for sharing your history. I can tell you that I see complex abnormal embryos not infrequently. It's a sign of either poor egg or sperm quality. Here's what I'd consider doing differently before another cycle:
Please note that I'm sharing my recommendations because I feel that in my experience and medical practice that these tests and supplements can help. But always check with your personal physician first.
This 'Havasu Nutrition' brand is from the same people as the 'Zhou Nutrition' brand. They get hundreds and hundreds of Verified Purchase five star reviews on all of their listings.
This is the most suspect offender: https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Brain-Function-Support-Scientifically/product-reviews/B0157EJZGI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewopt_sr?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=avp_only_reviews&sortBy=recent&pageNumber=1&filterByStar=all_stars
Sometimes they will get over 10 5-star Verified reviews in a single day on that listing.
There is no way that these reviews are from any kind of 'conventional' promotion. These reviews are either fake, or they've found a way to manipulate the Verified Purchase tag (maybe sending the money via PayPal in advance). I lean toward the latter since they are doing a ton of volume and probably wouldn't want to risk the account with fake reviews. Although, maybe that's why they've diversified with the second brand.
These guys have basically built a Verified review machine. I would advise them not to fly too close to the sun, as it's obvious these 'Verified' reviews aren't truly Verified.
He is absolutely ripping people off with that product, it's not even funny now.

> In a breakthrough preliminary study in mice, the combination of CoQ10 and shilajit produced a 56% increase in cellular energy production in the brain — 40% better than CoQ10 alone. In muscle there was a 144% increase, or 27% better than CoQ10 alone.57 Pharmacologyonline. 2009;1:817-25.
There's not a snowballs chance in hell Asprey's bullshit is going to beat that, and for double the price. It's depressing people can't do their own research to find this stuff out. It literally took me like 20 minutes to find all that.
There is an entire chapter devoted to CoQ10 in the book It Starts with the Egg. I'm not typing out an entire chapter and honestly I'm too lazy to take pictures of every page and upload to imgur. I will however give you a brief TL;DR.
The TL;DR looks something like this: CoQ10 is found in every cell in the body and plays a role in making energy in the body as well as recyclying vitamin E, an antioxidant. There is a theory that part of why older eggs are lower quality is because of declines in the function of the mitochondria in the egg. The egg doesn't have enough energy to properly during key points in cell replication and it leads to some errors. CoQ10 is thought to help give the mitochondria the boost they need to provide enough energy for proper division/replication thereby reducing the number of errors.
Here is a quote from the book:
>Research has shown that human embryos with poorly functioning mitochondria are more likely to have disrupted chromosomal processing machinery and chaotic chromosome distribution. Other research shows that if you intentionally damage mitochondria in mouse eggs, the ATP level goes down, and the machinery that separates chromosomes disassembles and malfunctions. As discused earlier in the chapter, errors in the number of chromosome copies are the single greatest cause of failure of embryos to survive the first week, implantation failures, and early pregnancy loss.
The book also says that:
>Based on all the scientific knowledge about the importance of fully functioning mitochondria to egg and embryo quality, it stands to reason that anything we can do to boost mitochondrial function and help eggs produce more energy will improve egg quality and embryo viability. Research suggests that CoQ10 does just that.
The book also recommends supplementing CoQ10 in the form ubiquinol not ubiquinone. And the recommend dosage is between 100-300mg per day, taken with food for increased absorption.
I really like the book as it seems to more or less just be a compilation of the recent research (as of when the book was published in 2014) that is presented in an easier to read/understand format. There are 45 citations in the CoQ10 chapter alone. Granted some of that is citing basic information on what CoQ10 is, it's role in the body and such. Not all of those citations are related to fertility. But still.
ETA: I don't know if you're a member of a warehouse club like Sam's or Costco but I know that CoQ10 is way cheaper at Costco than I've found it pretty much anywhere else. I won't say it was cheap still though. It was still around $30 for 90 200mg capsules. This is about the cheapest I've found on Amazon.
I take it as a supplement. 2 Pills/day

I honestly think I had an adverse reaction to it. I took it for about 2-3 weeks and I had the worst trouble sleeping in my life, I also had a pretty bad breakout on my face, which I haven't had acne like that in probably 8 years. When I stopped taking it my sleep went back to normal (thank god!!) and my face cleared up within a few days. That brand is NOT good.
These two are ones that I've personally used and have faith in the brand itself as very good. Not saying there are not others that are just as good, just that these two I can vouch for personally.

Acupuncture worked but briefly. Don't take the steroids it's only a temporary fix and it is terrible for you. Good luck!
you need Na-RALA available on amazon
This is the one I use. I started it last cycle to try to lengthen my LP.
This explains it a little more.
Edit: I remember reading studies about N-acetyl Cysteine helping drink rats metabolize alcohol. It looks like they've made it into an anti-redness supplement, which is use at your own risk because the supplement industry is pretty much unregulated in the US. But the redness is the buildup up of acetaldehyde, so no matter what you're likely doing more damage to your liver than your non-glowy friends drinking the same amount. I doubt topical products would help.
Thanks pops23, but do you have a theory of why I pee much more frequently when I take the creatine versus not being on the creatine. I actually take it with an ALA pill of 600mg

Thanks!
Yeah they're a little lower than what's recommended but they'll work. They've got the vitamins but are lacking magnesium, which helps with jaw-clenching. And TUMS taken when you drop will extend the roll.
Also get some antioxidants like this to take before: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0013OXBH6/0781-20
The antioxidants will help you feel less fried the next day.
Best bet is amazon.de I had no real luck finding them any where other than here. Yes a little pricy for all of them, but better safe than sorry.

Definitely get a wrist brace, they will support your tendons and make a world of difference. I like these ones.
Also it's worth doing some exercises every day. I get tennis elbow and other tendon problems now and again and use a Theraband flexbar. There's a flexbar exercise called the Tyler Twist which is good for the tendons. The bar comes with a booklet showing a lot of exercises you can do with it.
Finally, consider taking astaxanthin every day. It's an antioxident with anti-inflammatory properties which really helps with tendon problems. You might also get some good results by taking a turmeric supplement (or adding it liberally to your food).

I have brain fog and would love to try this. Do you have a supplement company you recommend? I'm thinking of doing a combo of Tumeric, Ginger, and BCM-95, based on comments. Thoughts?
Edit: Just saw your site. Awesome. Do you think this would be better for brain fog or would you recommend the Tumeric/Ginger thing? (I take Effexor so that might impact this).

The only sugars you should ingest are those in dark fruits like cherries and blueberries. Start taking two tart cherry pill extract pills daily and keep on it. Like others have said, cut back on meats and drink lots of water.
For what it’s worth, I bought this specific one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TP54IFO/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_cDz6BbWQQ7X1S
I take one every night about an hour before bed. It definitely took 5+ days of consecutive use before I noticed significant effects.
I sleep better/feel better now than I did when I was on trazadone, lunesta, melatonin, OTC sleep aids, etc. Everyone’s chemistry is different, keep trying new (healthy) remedies & don’t give up hope!
NMN and resveratrol are both available OTC as ordinary supplements.
Here's a link to some NMN.

Resveratrol

The other drug that David takes is Metaformin, which is prescription. It's for people with diabetes, but it also works for anti-aging. I don't know how you get your hands on that. He says it's currently being considered for other uses.

I haven't tried it personally but this has great reviews via Amazon:

if you never want to be hungover again get some Japanese Raisin Tree extract/Dihydromyricetin/hovenia dulcis, like these:

Money saved testing=money for sadness treats!
Yes ma’am I do. I actually take the SmartyPants Women’s Complete gummy because it comes with 100mg of Ubiqunol (the active form of CoQ10). This way I just supplement the extra methylfolate rather than CoQ10 on top of a prenatal! There are high doses of CoQ10 but not all of the supplements are created equally. Mr. Spooky is a snob and takes this one because supposedly they’re superior absorption so they’re just as good as some of the higher dose CoQ10s. I’m a big believer in them being good for egg and sperm quality but given that my cycles aren’t crazy long because I take too long to ovulate and my LP is pretty normal I feel comfortable sticking to 100mg for now. The highest I’ve ever seen in a pill was 300-400mg!
ETA: most of the recommendations for 600mg I’ve seen is for IVF with egg retrieval because you’re trying to collect multiple mature eggs in one cycle (I’ve seen ladies on here having over 2 dozen collected) whereas we only need to produce one mature egg per cycle.
If I was you I would try something like https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Ashwagandha-Superior-Absorption-Supplement/dp/B077TVZH1K/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=most+potent+ashwagandha&qid=1557059941&s=gateway&sr=8-3 and see if your pdoc will prescribe you some Buspirone.
Ashwagandha is known to increase libido by quite a bit, so much that it's too much for some people, and Buspirone increases sensitivity and decreases time to ejaculate.
Ok so it could be depression and it could be something else. Perhaps it’s not low T if you’re fitness and diet regimen is in check. Diet most inportabtly. Try a test booster if you haven’t already. With those symptoms they’ll likely recommend you to a psychiatrist and I don’t believe in that type of medicine anymore unless it pertains to extreme mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder ect.

If possible look into that and a CBD supplement. Those two medicines helped me with my ADHD and it’s almost non existent anymore. Worth looking into. Wish the best for you man. Persevere and overcome!
hmm
Protein isolate and [cereal](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CS9ZUQ/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_ueKQybD58BNE8 like Frosted Flakes). It's probably good to throw in some antioxidants like eating a handful of berries, spinach, or a cap of ALA.
If that's still too complicated, then just down a mix of maltodextrin and wazy maize. Also good to include some BCAAs, creatine, and antioxidants (e.g. ALA) into the mix as well.
Try it yourself in a pill:

It seemed to work for me, but I've only tried it once so far. Will see if it works this upcoming weekend.
Hey yeah I see where you're coming from and from this perspective I agree. But might I mention Pine needle tea & Pine oil is actually much more of a super food than people realize? It is increadible for your immune system and it does actually help out alot with asthma (which my brother has)
"Native Americans used pine oils to treat lung infections. Today, pine oils are used mainly as an anti-infectious, antimicrobial agent in colds, flu, urinary and viral infections. Pine needle oil has been used to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory infections, and for digestive disorders."

r/Nootropics may be able to help. Helped me. Also https://www.bravermantest.com/ . Huge change in quality of life for me, depression and anxiety gone after using these two resources. Sometimes shit can go wrong in your brain, and along with exercise and a healthy diet, you might still need something else to fix it. Certain supplements can help you get back to a healthy balance. Good way to avoid prescription medications and SSRIs, shit like that.
​
Try some Ashwagandha first, people have been taking it for literally thousands of years, reduces anxiety and there's a big difference between when I'm taking it and when I'm not. You can't get addicted to or be reliant on it. This is what I got but maybe check out Nootropics depot. They do a bunch of testing on the products that they sell and are way more trustworthy.
