Wearing V-necks. I wear V-napes. No, don't post the crotch cleavage

So I stumbled onto this simple supplement while researching and troubleshooting long COVID symptoms, chronic fatigue, low libido, sexual under-performance. I've been experimenting with L-Citrulline Malate (2:1) powder for a while now, and I think it deserves way more attention in the Nootropics space. It's literally a cheap amino acid that bodybuilders dump in their pre-workout shakes so they get more pronounced veins on their pump ( there really is a visible effect!.) Most people completely overlook it for cognitive stuff. I guess it doesn't have much heavy marketing because of how cheap it is. I'm taking 5-10g per day, either all at once or split into two doses. Just the pure powder form. Effects peak around 1-2 hours and last 3-4 hours. The cognitive stuff has honestly surprised me: Clearer thinking and faster mental processing Memory retention is noticeably better Way more eloquent - words just flow easier in conversations and when I'm writing Social confidence bump - less mental friction when talking to people Sustained alertness and energy without feeling weird or jittery Physical side (which makes sense since athletes love this stuff): Endurance is up whether I'm running ( really significant improvement here ), lifting, or just doing normal activities Better erections (nitric oxide boost doing its thing, similar mechanism to Viagra or Tadalafil but less intense effects) No tolerance buildup - it keeps working consistently Zero dependence - I can stop whenever with no withdrawal or anything Basically, citrulline malate boosts nitric oxide production, which improves blood flow everywhere. Research shows it enhances oxygen delivery to the brain, which helps with stuff like reaction time and decision-making. Studies also show better cerebral blood flow, which directly improves memory and attention. There's even some preliminary evidence it might be neuroprotective (studies in Alzheimer's models showed improved spatial memory ) For physical performance, the research is even more solid. Studies show it improves sprint performance, and doses of 8-12g have been tested in resistance training with good results. Negative effect observations so far : Maybe a little more difficult to fall asleep if taken late at night. Alcohol buzz is very short-lived, like 1/4th of the normal duration. Random Practical Stuff Tastes nice and sour (not bad at all, actually) Super cheap when you buy the bulk powder No harsh come-up or crash. Maybe a tiny head rush the first time you take it Probably stacks well with other nootropics since it improves brain blood flow Stacks up extra well with breathwork, for focus and energy. I have yet to try it with Kriya yoga. Apparently no need to cycle off. Bonus : Reddit comments Perplexity TLDR : ---- Several people report best results at 6–10 g L‑citrulline or 9–12 g citrulline malate (2:1) taken before training. One user mentions using 12 g citrulline malate (2:1) in a custom pre‑workout alongside beta‑alanine, caffeine and creatine. Multiple commenters say they prefer pure L‑citrulline over citrulline malate, recommending buying malic acid separately if you want that component. A few people stack it with 3 g beta‑alanine, 5 g creatine, 200–300 mg caffeine, sometimes omega‑3 and vitamin D, as a daily or training‑day stack. One user says their guideline is to aim for 6–10 g L‑citrulline per day, and to check how many capsules that equals if using pills. Some take it only on training days for performance, others use lower doses daily for general health/blood‑flow benefits; no loading phase is used. A commenter reports that citrulline malate felt too acidic on their teeth, but switching to pure L‑citrulline removed that issue. Taste comparisons: people agree arginine tastes worse, while citrulline (especially pure) is more tolerable; any harshness seems mostly from the malic acid. One person asks about liver damage, but others push back and request evidence; no concrete negative health experiences are shared. Overall sentiment in the thread is strongly positive: better pumps, more endurance, and several users saying they became “big fans” after trying it. --- Here's the non-affiliate Bulk.com Link (US based, with EU delivery) - Anyone else tried this? Curious if others have noticed similar cognitive benefits or if you've found any interesting stacks. Just my personal experience obviously. Do your own research and talk to a doctor before trying new supplements.

@Leo Guracold is gone but feel free to share the supplement cocktail regardless

https://youtu.be/gQQrrCjZyPc?si=QCSQ1zCgHTUEw6l0&t=2938 " I found this sort of combination that I take whenever I have a cold coming on and it wipes out the cold within a matter of hours and for the last few years I've never really gotten a serious cold or a flu anymore " @Leo Gura What is it? Quick! 🤒 By the way, I tried NAC to try to manage some long-Covid symptoms. After a single 0'5g scoop I was OUT for four days. Turns out its on the AVOID LIST on the Andy Cutler Protocol. If you suspect heavy metal toxicity be very careful with supplements like NAC (N-acetyl cysteine), glutathione, cysteine, or even foods Turmeric / curcumin which can raise thiol levels. Unless clearly tolerated, they can move mercury around in the body without safely removing it ( mercury has a high affinity for Thiols). Also watch out for high foods overall. I can post a list later. You cannot guess thiol sensitivity. You must do a thiol (sulfur) exclusion and challenge trial. NAC should only be taken by people who feel BETTER on a HIGH THIOL diet (yup this also exists ). If you have elevated cysteine, you become thiol sensitive. NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) elevates cysteine. It does not come down quickly once elevated. So you want to avoid that happening. Taking cysteine increases your chances of that happening. Drastically.

My ex-bizz partner had this Croatian local guide/friend who would come knocking on our door at 7AM, let himself in, cook some breakfast eggs from our fridge , ingest our supplements and proceed to giggle while intensely watching multi-hour-long YT videos of AI chess playing against each other, on our living room sofa. He went to the barber together with my other friend and he didn't bring his wallet. My friend refused to pay for him so the barber just let him go with a free cut lmfao Now that's some nonconformist Alien Consciousness right there. 🗣️ Shoutout to Goran for showing us around Split

From Leo's Blog: [...] If these sorts of posts seem odd or grifty to you, I'm making an effort to share my favorite products. Something simple and practical. Not everything is about philosophy. Sometimes your life is just improved by finding the right spatula, USB cable, or screwdriver. I am passionate about finding and sharing the perfect products. Finding a perfect product is one of life's simple joys. They are like physical life hacks that pay dividends for years to come. Finding perfect products is not trivial and takes work. I've made a mini hobby of it. Hell, you could make a whole career or LP out of it. I try to find the perfect song, the perfect paper towel, the perfect hot sauce, the perfect toothpaste, the perfect drinking glass, the perfect fork. Being a perfectionist is a curse but also has its benefits. So when I find the best stuff I share it here. Let's keep the bar high and avoid posting mediocre or low-quality items. Make sure it's items you've actually tried. When you share, please include at least a brief description of what the item is and why you love it or what makes it great --- One of my own finds to get the ball roling: Instant Pot Pressure Cooker (2.7L for singles) This pressure cooker features a high-quality stainless steel interior, a programmable timer for delayed cooking, and the ability to cook virtually anything quickly and efficiently. Perfect for lentils, rice, meat, soups, potatoes, and steamed vegetables (if you add a steam basket). It even cooks frozen foods without hassle. Pressure cooking is one of the fastest ( and most likely retains the most nutrients) methods for cooking due to science! (It raises the boiling point of water from 100°C/212°F to around 120°C/250°F.) Plus, it's super easy to use, clean, and maintain, and it’s as safe as pressure cooking gets. If you prioritize raw nutrition and convenience over presentation, the Instant Pot is a game-changer for healthy eating. It saves time, effort, and even money by simplifying meal prep. --- BONUS : Sagami 0'01 Condoms as thin as a hair, polyurethane actually transfers temperature unlike latex, feels close to the real deal. Make sure your girl is adecuately moist to avoid rupture. Share your finds below! Whether it's the perfect pair of headphones, an amazing cleaning product, or your fave warm socks, we want to hear about it. --- Someone with spare time could recompile Leo's favorite finds into a separate post, and maybe we could pin it at the top of this section for easy access.

Yup. It has changed my life by lifting my chronic fatigue. I take up to 11 grams of sodium ascorbate per day . Not knowing this is what I personally needed, along other things, has costed me most of my early 20's basically.

Chlorella and cilantro are on the absolute avoid list. They can seriously screw you up if you're heavy metal toxic or have poor detox genes. Zeolite or silica are also pretty much ineffective besides possible gut-binders. Zeolite nanoparticles seem to be somewhat effective from my personal experience, but who knows to what degree.

Bumping this cause it's amazing. Thanks for the share! Also moved to Main Forum from Spirituality sub-forum.

AI is definitely a double edged sword. I can feel my mind being less sharp from outsourcing contemplating and figuring things out by myself. We should start a Mega-thread of all the negative side effects of AI on Personal Development.

Cinnamon Mint. I have 0 technical experience and it's been pretty smooth if you adjust your expectations and have some patience. The bottleneck of Linux has been erased thanks to LLM'S. No need to be a code nerd or scroll through forums for weeks looking for answers. If your whole life is on Windows or Mac I highly recommend getting a second machine to tinker around with Linux in your free time (I'm not a fan of dual booting) , specifically if you're the type of person that loves customization and is highly creative. You can use both , no need to get stuck in either or. The level of freedom and room for creative expression is astonishing. I wake up excited every morning to tinker with my machine and try new cool stuff. I totally can see why people make fun of Linux fanatics. Linux is the OS that a work tool like a PC should be. Using Windows for your life's work is like using a toothpick for brain surgery rather than a scalpel. --- I may have deleted my whole OS about 3 times accidentally but I did have a backup. Don't be a fool. AI can give you all the tech support you need. Windows babysits you not to accidentally press the wrong button and erase an important file. Linux puts a loaded Desert Eagle in your hands and helps you pull the trigger. Installing Linux marked a clear before-and-after milestone in my life, no joke Windows = Conformity.

Team Linux. I would literally rate going Linux as one of the top 3 best decisions of my life because of the ripple effect

Please get an interview with this rare alien mind

Watch the vid. It's brilliance is also it's pitfall. Pretty much the topic of the video.

This is a half-baked share that I accidentally recently stumbled upon on my research for managing long Covid Symptoms: https://www.inuspheresis.com/ I heard it's going to be available in the US starting somewhere 2026? It's mostly in Europe as of now. This procedure claims to filter plasma to remove accumulated toxins, viral-related inflammatory markers, some heavy metals from the blood ( obviously doesn't touch heavy metal fat and bone stores directly) , microplastics, PCB's, PFAS , pesticides and more. This is not cheap. It's $3,000-$3,500 per session, and I Imagine that the result become more permanent the more of these you do, although some people report immediate improvements, but who knows for how long. One round takes about 2-3 hours. I will not be doing this process as of now but it has opened my mind into the benefits of potentially recurringly donating blood and plasma although likely it wouldn't be as effective due to a reverse-exponential effect ( you remove the easy fraction first, and every subsequent round removes less and less. ) I don't particularly like Paul Saladino for being pseudo-scientific, hypocritical, controversial and just kinda goofy ( personal take ) but this is the only OK video I could find on the topic. Take anything with a grain of salt and do your own research.

Testosterone ≠ fertility. Sauna mostly affects sperm quality, not Libido. You can still feel horny, powerful, and masculine even with worse sperm parameters, so , unless you’re trying to get someone pregnant soon, those "fertility biomarkers" don’t matter much

Wtf?
