Can tell a lot about a person by how quickly they get offended by things, especially when it comes to the mundane

Or how often someone has an ego tantrum and can't admit or even see that they are wrong

Would never recommend any magnesium "complex" that uses oxide as a forefront
Then you go on their page and they talk about the benefits of all the other forms, and start with glycinate

Agreed, threonate is great but the issue is people thinking glycinate and other forms "don't do anything" or have no effect on the brain, which isn't true

Why not both? Why magtein or MAT and not magtein and MAT. Too black and white thinking.
Also i think the "Most MLT studies are funded by the company that patented it" is redundant at best, of course the studies are funded by the company that bought a license to own and sell this supplement? I mean do you think competition is going to fund their studies or money grows on trees?
Of course if i buy a patent for X compound i am going to fund the research for X compound.

Why is no one talking about Galanga (Thai ginger)
Dopamine enhancing/energy promoting, glucose metabolism supporting, gut motility/lining, gentle antimicrobial effects, and even positive effects on male fertility..

DAT/Adenosine receptor associated effects

Even though the herb is known for its wakefulness promoting effects, it was also shown to improve sleep
Also improved BDNF/NGF

This is why blue lotus is so potent in tuning every system in the body ranging from gut health to circulation to blood brain barrier integrity and brain protection
Revered for centuries for good reason

Cyproheptadine = antihistamine with some additional serotonin antagonism
Blue lotus = mixed dopamine agonism, serotonin antagonism, and some additional histamine antagonism

Blue lotus is the serotonin antagonist cyproheptadine wishes it could be

If your gut is leaky, and you have specific bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine, and you take berberine, it could generally just cause a spike in endotoxin, but not be enough to fully kill off the overgrowth, so if you keep eating carbs (whether fermentable fibers or even sugars/starches depending) in this scenario you are just giving yourself mild endotoxemia
One of the many reasons it's important to have a goal with your compound use and account for surrounding variables

For the record, I dont mean everyone cant eat carbs in this scenario, just that excessive amounts of the wrong context for them in these overgrowth scenarios specifically can continuously feed the overgrowth without the counts decreasing over time, this is why its important to find a sweet spot in these scenarios, often seems to be around 20-40 grams per meal, but some people may have to go lower

What obvious food will I be adding for those two
There's two foods that I know will come to mind for people, but one is the very obvious answer, and that is the only one I'm referring to here

Also on 15mg of Zinc
I plan on introducing more things for him as well, given how I generally see what he's eating every day, and see a few gaps
Mostly Choline/Biotin for now

If you're gonna answer, make sure you clarify which one is the obvious superior choice ;)

One thing many people dont realize is that endotoxin is not simply just "produced" by bacteria, it is the result of the bacteria dying, it is a cell wall component of the bacteria
This can be released when it is killed by an antimicrobial, or when the immune system/another bacteria kills it
A thriving overgrowth that isnt dying off does not necessarily produce endotoxin, but when the immune system is constantly fighting it, but it is not getting killed off, this is when problems occur, especially when the gut is leaky/damaged/not immediately dealing with the endotoxin

I mention berberine specifically as it is a very poorly absorbed compound that is generally dosed in the higher range, so it has more of an ability to kill things off throughout the intestine, as opposed to being absorbed earlier on
Same could definitely be said about other antimicrobial compounds in specific contexts

There is definitely a gut dependent downstream mechanism that can cause temporary blurred vision
For some this must manifest chronically or have occurred early on in life, although, many claim to have improved eyesight and no longer require glasses

I could not pinpoint if it was an acetaldehyde or endotoxin thing, but it's definitely leaning endotoxin
Worsening of vision is a very common occurrence for many people as they "age" so it would only make sense
Another one of those things that should not "have to happen"
