    Supplement for high blood pressure and high cholesterol?

    I always used garlic for high blood pressure but at the advice of a friend I tried Cayenne Pepper and it worked a lot quicker. When my bp was high, between high 130's to high 140's and even creeping into the 150's, just sprinkling some Cayenne Pepper on my food once or twice a day worked really...

    Forms of carnitine

    I was looking into this for pre workout. Is it good solo or in a stack?

    Best strategy for long term anti aging

    Hi I'm 53 and I know this may sound boring but making sure your liver is in tip-top condition is my anti-aging tip. When my liver is working well everything else just seems to fall into place. Any food or supp isn't going to work like it should if your liver isn't up to scratch. It's the first...

    Intermittent fasting?

    I have just started IF again after a year or so away from it and looking back I haven't felt or trained better since then. Losing fat/weight should NOT be the only way people judge the IF diet/lifestyle. I have experienced numerous health benefits aside from fat loss. My knee, which has...

    Dealing with joint pain

    I agree with this but I'll also add that Bone Broth is good as it has what a lot of joint supps have and benefits you in many other ways to. Healthy joints depend on Collagen in your ligaments, tendons, and on the ends of your bones. Collagens are a large family of biomolecules, which include...

    Sciatica issue- pain in glute

    Probably need to see a good Osteopath for an adjustment. If he/she is good then they'll know what to do. I had that bad back in 1999 because I didn't take care of it in it's early stages. Go and see a professional as soon as you can. An imbalance of strength between lower back and abs...

    Best Nighttime Appetite Suppressants

    I suppose another approach, if you are tracking your macros, is eating less during the day so you can eat a little more at night. Evenings is when I get really hungry but during the day not so much so I started doing IF (Intermittent Fasting) which really helped with my night time cravings /...

    Blood Pressure Support

    My wife, who normally has lowish blood pressure, blood pressure shot up to 175 over 90 something a while back and she started having 2-3 cloves of raw garlic every day and in 2 weeks had it back under control. She generally eats well anyway so no major dietary changes were made during that time...

    Pre workout and anxiety

    A similar thing happened to me a year or so ago taking the same homemade pre workout I've been using on and off for years. Frightened the hell outta me. Felt breathless, rapid heartbeat and got the shakes real bad. Couldn't even hold my cup of tea. Took about 3 months to get back to normal...

    Diet ideas for fat loss fast get rid of love handles

    I've been stim free for a year or so now and noticed much more fat loss and better body composition due to lower cortisol levels. Although I thought they were great from the appetite suppression they were actually making me fatter. I generally have a low carb approach anyway but I lowered my...

    LCLT smell

    Took the top off my L Carnitine Tartrate yesterday and noticed a fishy odor. Does that mean it's gone off?

    BCAA timing...

    Information overload is a very real thing in this industry and very frustrating. I used BCAA's while training fasted in the morning with some Caffeine. I was very alert and noticed a big difference in recovery. At no other time did I notice anything no matter what the studies said would happen.

    BCAA timing...

    Information overload is quite easy in this industry. I'm guilty of the same thing. I got great results from BCAA's while training fasted in the morning with some Caffeine. It kept me awake and helped dramatically with recovery. I used them on their own as combining them with anything else...
