Excluding supplements, I hit these values for minerals. It is possible, but as I mentioned above it may not be enough... Each person's metabolism is different. Notice that some of my target values are even increased — customized to be even higher than what the RDA would suggest.

Another thing to consider is number of meals/day. Ca absorption saturates at around 400mg, so if you only eat, e.g., twice daily, your fractional Ca absorption drops making the total absorption lower compared to eating more times a day.

The key is to track calcium markers such as PTH, serum Ca and P, 25-OH-Vit-D, 24h urinary Ca, among others. On Cronometer, I eat 1000mg+ of Ca from diet daily and ~400mg Oxalate. Yet, I was Ca deficient, with elevated PTH and low serum P. I discovered I need to supplement 600-1000mg on top of that, reaching an estimated total intake of 1600-2000mg to hit the PTH and urinary Ca excretion targets I'm after. A blood test like this followed by appropriate intervention can save one from osteoporosis and fractures 30 years down the road.

Hahaha amazing. I never managed to get a hold of MALT yet. Looking forward to my first encounter with the magical substance.

Nice, thanks for the reference. I'm now thinking: the problem now becomes maling them potentially illegal substances for testing 😂

If you live in Switzerland you can take it to a specialized test source (provided by the government for free) and they test it for you. I tested 5-MeO-DMT once via such service and it came back >99% purity with no other detected substances. Depending on where you live you could see if such services exist. It's also a good idea to take a small(er) dose first time you open a new batch.

Wow, I didn't know this fact about billionaires in Sweden. But I guess that should be in the EU, which does not consider Switzerland, right? I lived in Stockholm for 2y and I agree the immigration wave left deep scars in the entire Swedish society. That said, when you say "economy is shit right" — I'm curious to understand what is your reference point. I'm saying this because in my view (pls correct if wrong) Sweden is so left (that being a good thing) compared to the vast majority of EU countries, let alone countries like the US and others. Curious to learn in what ways you think the economy should be further improved in Sweden.

Wow — that sounds wild — looking forward to it a lot more after your comment @MsNobody! And looking forward to meeting up in another occasion. Maybe I grow the courage to attend Burning Man at some point. Btw, this same org doing the Iceland Eclipse will do Egypt Eclipse next year. Also something to keep an eye on. I'll see how this one goes. Cheers from 🇮🇸

Nice! Makes sense. I'm now traveling through Iceland and using pumpkin seeds as one of my staples Hahaha that's awesome! I did the same, and I believe veggiers (fiber) recommendations are way below what's optimal. But that also depends a lot on (the microbiota of) the individual. Yes, this argument makes a lot of sense. It's what got me into supplementation in general.

There is! There is even a "veggie meter" (I have yet to add this device to my longevity-tracking arsenal): https://phytomedicine.plantsforhumanhealth.ncsu.edu/veggie-meter/ It may not likely reduce all types of UV damage caused to the skin but at least is seems to reduce visible redness, or the time it takes for it to develop. Wow - that is wild, I find very long hair so attractive. I didn't know pumpkin oil have carotenoids. Do you take it as a supplement? I was going to say that the hair benefits would be due to Zinc, but apparently the Zinc that pumpkin seeds contain does not go into the oil when it's extracted, so it could well be the carotenoids, or something else...

I'll be at https://icelandeclipse.com/ in case someone is going. In some ways the opposite of burning man 😂

Astaxanthin seems promising. I take 4mg/day. Siim Land talks a lot about it. Eating carotenoid-rich foods seems to be protective too.

Glad that it was useful. For me it doubles the length, but since DMT trips for me last 5-10 minutes, the longest I got with the B. Caapi TPA extract I use as MAOI was 15 minutes. It could be that the extract I have is not so potent. For MAOI dosage this is a good reference:

See the work of Valter Longo and the fast mimicking diet.
