Hello -
Please do not offer your advice in this thread. This is not only impolite, but it can also negatively affect other members with wrong/improper/unfounded advice.
If you wish to create a new thread sharing your opinions, please do so - but in this thread, you are not entitled to offer advice. Only myself and 7ds can do that.
Secondly, do not make blanketed statements about proper diet, things being bad for the liver, and pill absorption. These are all specious at best.
The supplements I have have virtually no improper effect on the liver. Even some of the pills I take are for LIVER SUPPORT.
To say that these have bad effects on the liver would be saying that getting these same nutrients from foods would do exactly the same. Do you even know how something effects the liver? Do you know about methylated substances? I'm assuming you don't.
Next, in order for your body to get even 5% of what you can receive from supplements required an absolutely unbelievably diverse diet which is virtually impossible to consume to a normal person, and generally way too high in certain macros (such as sugar from fruit).
To properly get the amount of micronutrients will require supplementation. About 1/2 of my supplementation is for long term health and/or immune system. I have not been sick for quite some time as a result.
The other 1/2 of the supplements are for recovery, increased anabolism, increased fat loss (or in my case, preventing fat gain), and general muscle building and saturation (such as creatine).
Lastly, the absorption rate of supplements is not a blanketed 20-35%. That is another common misconception. It all has to do with the delivery system, quality of ingredients, and type of ingredients. Also it depends on your enzymes, when you take it, and what you take it with. I would say my body is utilizing approximately 75-90% of all the supplements I take, which is right there along with whole foods. The body uses only about 60% of the whole food you eat, expelling the other 40% as waste.
So please, DO NOT OFFER ADVICE IN THIS THREAD!!!
This is your first and only warning you get for this.
You are more than welcome to ask questions, provide thanks, or update me on your progress - other than that, please understand this is for professionals only. Myself and John (7ds), do our best to keep this sticky as clean as possible.
