I have recently cut some stuff out of my daily supplement list. But what follows is the remains. I'd love some opinions on 2 items you would remove (and why). Also, if you notice any dosages or things that dont make sense or are not optimal, mention that too. If you have a suggestion to add, please suggest what to remove in its place. Any critique is welcomed. The goal is to have a smaller, but possibly better, list.
AM – upon rising empty stomach w/ water
LEF Cognitiex - 3 gel caps contains:
Natural Factors Ashwagandha (Sensoril) 1 cap 250mg
Phosphatidylserine [from Sharp-PS or Serinaid] 1 cap 100mg
Armour thyroid T3/T4 (1 grain equates to roughly 25mcg T3) 1 grain
Vit C (cortisol dampening and in unison w/ NAC) 1000mg
NAC 1200mg
Liv52 (half of the 2 serving cap) 1 cap
(I rotate in various things here depending on what I am doing, I may add a dose of clen if cutting or a nootropic like Noopept, etc.)
After shower, etc. I will have a carbless meal (eggs, shake, etc.) unless cutting or holding and then I will Fast until Noon as part of an IF protocol and only have coffee w/ MCT oil (e.g. Brain Octane). I would typically do some AM fasted cardio during cutting too. No carbs, BCAA, nothing to spike insulin.
I have genetically high cholesterol (diagnosed) on or off TRT and ditched trying supplements that didn’t touch it. Avoided statin and went to the low dose Praluent injectable (brand new non-statin PSK9 inhibitor). 75mg 2x month, halved cholesterol instantly, no perceivable sides.
