New article in MedShadow about a scary problem with a relatively obscure supplement that tends to fly under the radar. Still, the regulatory problems discussed could affect any supplements.
I'm currently taking the following supplements:
- Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day
- Thorne Super EPA
- Thorne Magnesium Bisglycinate
- Thorne NiaCel 400 (NR)
- Thorne Whey Protein Isolate
My goals are:
- Fat loss (currently around 100 kg, targeting 80 kg)
- Preserving muscle while dieting
- Better recovery and sleep
- Overall health
For those with experience, which of these supplements are actually worth keeping, and which are unnecessary? Would you add anything else for someone doing cardio and weight training while following a keto diet?
Thanks!
I started taking 7-tabs 1 year ago this month. A friend gave me some one day to help with pain in my spine. I kept taking it because it worked better for my anxiety and pain management combined than my prescribed medications and I was able to stop my pain management of percocets and my anxiety meds of Xanax completely. I work in law enforcement so I can’t take anything that would fail a drug test without prescription to help me quit taking these tablets and I am desperate. I tried to stop taking them and then learned that the withdrawals are UNBEARABLE. I wasn’t even aware I would withdraw or that they are widely known for abuse I didn’t know anything about them and now I am so completely desperate to get off them I would do anything but I can’t go to a doctor I need to do it on a very low profile if it came out in any way for any reason at work my career my pension it’s all down the drain. If anyone has any good advice that will work for me anything I can order and take on my own to help I feel like if I can just get past the physical withdraws I’m feeling like the the feeling that I want to crawl out of my fucking body and can’t sit still or lay still at all enough to go to sleep if I can get past that I’ll be fine. But I’m in tears and want to fucking scream at the top of my lungs at night when I try to go to bed before work after not taking it all day or sometimes for two days and it hits me and I want to fucking die and I end up taking at least a half of one to make it stop. My shifts are 12-16 sometimes even 24 hrs. It’s a lot to get through during a withdrawal. I can’t just take a week off to get through it bc we’re so short staffed right now. Please! If anyone can help me at all please help me. Please help me.
