I’ve been taking magnesium bisglycinate, and I sometimes experienced this tired or drowsy feeling. It's not as expressed for me, unless I take a very high dose (1000mg+). Glycin, which this form of Magnesium is paired with, has a calming effect. That would explain it. Nowadays I take 600-800mg a day, but it's needed for my high dosage of vitamin D otherwise I develop insomnia and other uncomfortable symptoms over time. Malate sounds like a good alternative, taurate or even threonate if you can afford it (supposedly even more bio-available, especially since it can evidently cross the blood-brain-barrier).

Suddenly *Go Fuck Yourself* doesn't feel as insulting anymore..

Check your vitamin D levels, as a deficiency can aggravate such symptoms. It is mistakenly labeled as a vitamin, it's more like an immunomudolator, as well as tissue and bone-modulator. I haven't had back pains since correcting my levels, my knees feel a lot better too. It can take some time, but other cofactors such as Magnesium can help a lot too. Here's a source for reference.

I've been able to increase the clarity of my sight through certain supplements - things like vitamin D, A, Zinc etc. (including nightsight). It's not perfect as I still wear glasses for near stuff like reading/screens, but I have cylinders (astigmatism) making it hard to focus sometimes. Those I believe can not be corrected that easily. Besides this approach, spend as much time in natural environment as possible. Prolonged stationary usage such as gaming may make your eyes lazy and dry out due to severely reduced blinking. Natural habitat such as forests can help you revitalize your eyes, I believe it relates to some kind of metabolism increase by using it (varying focus, blinking etc.) as well as the Sun.

Hell yeah! I started moving again more seriously after a few months (years) of hiatus. Just walking a few kms to my job makes a huuge difference. Swimming in a lake made a big change too. Do it out in the Sun and you will be revitalized!

Why does every topic need to be mental masturbation and bickery, coated as non-dual debates? This is the Health & Fitness sub-forum, not the spiritual one. In regards to the topic, I agree with health being one of the most foundational aspects for life. I'd say the majority of us have latent inflammation and damage in our bodies that haven't been healed. Focusing on health 100% would be providing the body with the necessary resources to heal itself. A balanced diet free of processed stuff, combined with supplementation to correct clinical and subclinical deficiencies - eventually reaching optimal levels wherever possible. Throw heavy metal chelation into the mix as well. Other clichés such as exercise, socialization, stress and emotional management, therapy like IFS, meditation etc. This can free you of visits to the doctor into your elderly years (besides regular checkups or physical trauma), potentially for life. The pharmaceutical and the food industry are inherently business entities, and have joint financial interests so take stuff from them with a heavy grain of salt. Some people like Brian Johnson thrive on such over-optimization, but in my perspective others can thrive better on balance especially once their bodies are healed and robust.

Noam Chomsky has some valuable lectures available on youtube like this - Noam Chomsky: Israel and Palestine (Full Lecture) Ron Unz has a shitton of great material written about many controversial topics including this one - you can read them here Even if one does not agree with some of the content or the presentation at the website linked above (it's very lightly moderated), it is a treasure hub for valuable resources of various less-known authors and perspectives.

Looks like Israel put the recently redirected shipment of 20,000 missiles (that was initially meant for Ukraine) to use.

Interesting, I noticed the same! Yeah probably 90+% of people are deficient, but not because of malabsorption or gut issues. There's barely any vitamin D to be found in dietary sources, used to be more in the past. Even the RDA of 600 IU is not enough to reach sufficiency of 30+ ng/mL for the majority of people. The only reliable sources are UVB Sunlight, and supplements unfortunately. I'd say 4-5,000 IU is the minimum every adult should take daily, regardless of sun exposure. Except, I found an article that discusses gene-modified (CRISPER) tomato leaves providing 8,000 IU of vitamin D per gram!

Canada has been suffering from large-scale wildfires since Mid-May, which are still on-going. According to the news, 33000+ people had to have been evacuated from their homes. According to the latest reports, the vegetation of roughly 19,900 km2 area has been consumed, which is about the size of the country of Slovenia. The consequential smoke that was created sunk south to the US, degrading the air quality on the eastern half. New York, for example. Furthermore the smoke travelled above the Atlantic, up to Europe. It was observed even above Greece, as the most eastern location of the smoke so far. Even though the air quality is mostly unaffected in Europe since the fumes are so high in the atmosphere, the fact it reached Europe is very much telling of the impact this wildfire has. You can track the wildfire activity at this interactive map. The spread of the smoke can be seen on this map. It was most likely human-produced, but magnified beyond words due to the current atmospheric conditions. God be with the victims and those affected.

Astounding documentary, for free! Thank you for sharing, I'll be watching the others too! I agree that spiritual passivity may no longer be enough to provide a brighter future for us all, we need to act! However the sociostructural and physical resources most of these mega-scale technological projects require to reach the efficacy needed to be able to buy enough time for us to find a sustainable solution moving us away from societal collapse, would require unseen levels of global cooperation. Maybe China can do it? At least he awareness is spreading, and there are very positive trends like the Great Green Wall project. I recently had a 'we are ultimately doomed, no matter what we do' phase, however the pain that comes with the increased awareness due to my research, is accompanied with the increased desire to act and do what I can where I can. This video played a role in this, thank you!

I have yet to watch the video, but I would like to share some initial thoughts in regards to the statement of exercise being the primary way to lose weight and be healthy. It's a noble, but partial truth. Exercise is undoubtedly a great way to do this, to achieve optimal mental and physical health, it's ingrained into our bodies since prehistoric times. Everyone should do it one way or another. However it's not the only healthy piece in the puzzle, at least what we have access to. Not all of us have the same drives and level of motivations to do this. Furthermore we all know people directly or indirectly that lose fat and gain muscle at different rates, even if they follow largely the same protocols. Turns out, vitamin D helps with this too! It helped people since time immemorial, thanks to the quintessential contribution of the Sun. Based on the research, vitamin D not only benefits but even determines the weight loss. Influencing fat storage mechanisms, serotonin levels (controlling appetite) and boosting testosterone (increasing drive to move as well as helping with burning fat). Once you include necessary vitamin D cofactors such as Magnesium and Omega-3 (which can help with weight loss by themselves - let alone synergistically), the effect becomes even greater. It's not a sacrificial cheat code like steroids, but I believe it lays the groundwork for optimal efficiency and thriving. It can even help obese people that are struggling to go and exercise, and to lose weight. Here are summary articles of vitamin D's relationship with weight loss and muscle. If you are lazy, here are Perplexity's summaries about these sites (weight loss and muscle). It also is the key component in terms of bone health since it greatly improves calcium absorption and metabolism. My personal experience (I take other stuff on top of the aforementioned cofactors) is that beyond the improved mental health, I experience increased grip and muscle strength without exercise. Lifting stuff that was painful in the past now feels like a breeze, being joint-pain-free helps a lot too. I have a feeling my bone density increased as well, but I need a DEXA scan to validate it. Increased stamina is great too! Hell, whichever sports team discovers the wonders of vitamin D (unless elite athletes use it already), could almost be considered cheating without context. The biggest punchline of the story is that vitamin D is chemically considered to be a secosteroid hormone, barely different from testosterone and the likes.

Do you have lab measurements that showed actual deficiencies? Do you follow any restrictive diet like a vegan one? Do you experience any benefit besides these symptoms, upon taking this multivitamin? Lots of the ingredients are beneficial, but some may be only required in certain situations, and cause harm in others. There are multiple potential culprits, but it may take a while to find it. Vitamin Bs (B6/B12/Niacin), supplemental C&Iron interaction, zinc&copper interaction, and more. I experienced pins & needles in my hands and feet when I was taking a B-complex, as well as rare heart palpitations (but no chest pain). They subsided in a few days after I stopped. I'd just give this one up and focus on more important supplements. Vitamin D - you may benefit from a higher dose, Magnesium, Omega-3, K2 and whatever you can't properly get from your diet or food in general. My two cents.

I don't necessarily favor multivitamins, because the many different compounds fit together (that usually don't exist combined so tightly in nature) can cause unforeseen reactions in your body (no matter how much workaround the manufacturer is trying to do). Different compounds can also compete with each other in different ratios, making you lose a substantial part of it during metabolism. Do you take them on an empty stomach? That can potentially explain the chest pain, but can also be different things. Have you also tried different brands?
