I'm a big toast guy and I tend to buy in bulk so my bread is usually frozen. Turns out that both of these processes increase the amount of resistant starch in bread, which in turn reduces the glucemic load and gives your gut more prebiotic fibre. Now I usually have whole grain, sprouted bread but for the occasional white bread treat this is an easy way to improve the nutrient profile!

27M, suffering eternally with foot smell. I take a great care of my feet. Wash them with soap daily, use feet anti odour sprays. But to no avail. I even start smelling in my regular slippers. This is very embarrassing. I even sanitize my feet with sanitizer. Now i am left with no options.

This may have been asked before but - Would love to hear what your absolute top 2 biohacks are. Anything goes. If you have more than 2 that you are passionate about, of course include!

Thanks!

I've been eating 1kg of greek yogurt every day day right after waking up, for about a month now. Makes me full for a good 7 hours. It helps with gut dysbiosis. It's got healthy bacteria in it. It's cheap. It's low in calories (only 550 calories for 1kg). I eat it plain. Nothing inside. My gut is healthy now. I really wish my parents had introduced me to it back when I was young instead of buying me all that shitty food that made me fat for years.

Btw, the one I buy has 0 grams of fat in it.

Question is: if it's so healthy, why don't more people buy it? when I go to the grocery store it's always full of it, and I seem to be the only one to get it lol.

Also, It doesn't break me out. As weird as it sounds, other products that have milk inside break me out like crazy. Greek yogurt doesn't. What gives?

This test seems inexpensive but they have very little info about the actual tests used. Has anyone tried it or have any opinions?

Hey friends ✌️

I built this app to track and manage your sun exposure

It’s free to use

I’d love to hear your feedback 🌞

I'm 40, male and do a fairly large about of exercise. 300km cycling and 4hrs BJJ per week. I will add kettle bell work outs 2-3times a week for core strength and bone density increase.

My goals are maintaining fitness, increasing bone density, increasing VO2 max (54 right now, but would like to get higher), reducing body fat (13.7%, aiming for 9%), focus during the day and better sleep.

Based on my reading, this is (probably over the top) supplement protocol that will meet those needs.

Why waffle mix? I just find it works for me, I find it quite tasty and the right amount of food.

I wonder if anyone here has any feedback on this (please be gentle, I am just trying to optimise and improve health, sorry if my list looks super amateur or if I am breaking the rules)

Recently purchased ISRIB 25mg capsules from research supplier that I've purchased peptides from previously. I've seen recommendation to take powder here with DSMO. Recommendations how to take capsules? I'm thinking of one 25mg capsule 1-2 days week for 4-8 weeks depending on results. Looks like ISRIB isn't water soluable, so wondering if taken with fats if that would be recommended, or again, with DSMO (how much?).

Why taking? I had viral encephalitis 20 years ago from zoster virus, had MRI's, PET Scans, EEGs, Spinal Taps, etc and was disabled for over two years needing to sleep 20-22 hours a day, memory and fog issues, and more. I have since had definitely lack of mental clarity as before, a "foggy" sensation almost at all time.

I've used GLP-1's and other peptides to reduce systemic inflammation, and also improve mitochondrial function.

So thoughts on dosing and how to take would be appreciated?

Basically disease associated with follicles, ranging from acne to cysts. Anything that could reduce current symptoms to full on prevention. Not looking for one supplement to conquer them obviously, just trying to find something to help and prevent future problems. Thanks in advance.

And I use a soft sonic toothbrush twice a day, on top of drinking antibacterial herbals like clove, oregano, peppermint, ginger, Thyme daily for other reasons(SIBO) yet it is still receding what can I do

Should you take a vitamin so that you cover all your bases, or do labs and target only those vitamins your deficient?

i feel like my digestion is inconsistant at times. like one day ill have great digestion, the next not so much. im also eating more food to put on lean muscle mass, so really trying to opt for easily digestible food sources. i try to take deep breaths before meals, 10-15 walks after meals etc. im also eating all whole food sources, except for sourdough, clean granola, rice cakes etc. like breakfast is either eggs and sourdough, or oats, lunch/dinner is either rice bowl, or sweet potatos with meat/veg, snacks are greek yogurt or rice cakes/dates/smoothies

SNRIs worked for me up until a certain point, but they completely ceased working after I completed an extremely challenging task that required both mental and physical effort.

Additionally, I have read an article claiming that folic acid is linked to exercise intolerance in CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome).

I'm just speculating, but is there a connection between chronic fatigue, methylation, and the efficacy of mental medications?

Although not everything can be described centrally, I believe that methylation and MTHFR are related to the phenomenon of psychiatric medications losing their effectiveness. This phenomenon can be explained by the fact that required neurotransmitters are not created (or an aberration develops). (Of course, I am aware that there are other additional causes, including issues with receptor downregulation.)

I am ignorant of MTHFR, and it is a concept I have only recently learned about, so I would like to somehow link MTHFR to the poop out phenomenon, and more specifically, to the exercise intolerance in CFS, so that antidepressants will work again.

I would like to hear your opinions, no matter how trivial your hypotheses or knowledge.

Also, the concepts of MTHFR and methylation are not widely known in Japan, so if there are any sites, personal blogs, or pages of people with original ideas that explain them in detail, please let me know.

My life is a mess because of my ADHD and chronic fatigue and I am taking some supplements like ashwagandha, moda etc from lifeextensions, highstreetpharma. What's worse, the medicine that worked for a certain period of time quickly stops working again.

I never really felt much from my sertaline 100mg but took it anyway out of hope it was doing something for anxiety. I know when you stop you're supposed to taper to avoid withdraw. However I stopped cold turkey and felt nothing. Ssris just seem to not affect me at all? Weird because DNA tests say they should work well

Was on various opioids/opiates for 7 years (kratom, heroin, suboxone, painkillers, etc.) my shit is fried and seem to have some long-term anhedonia from it. Are there any nootropics or natural ways to increases enkephalins/repair opioid receptors?

I've been off everything, including kratom, for about a month.

I heard Selank can help. I already take Agmatine 500mg once at night.

thanks

I want to make a stack to contain:

1) Pterostilbene 2) Acid Ellagic 3) Lycopene 4) L-Citrulline 5) Bromelain 6) Sulforaphane 7) Lecithin (Bioenhancer) 8) Capsaicin (Bioenhancer) 9) Astaxanthin

But I have read several studies that attest that Astaxanthin can cause premature death in healthy cells in high doses and having pro-tumor effect in small doses, suppressing certain biological channels that help to combat cancer.

https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/8/10/434

Any substitute recommendation for Astaxanthin? And what do you think about this stack in general? I want it for longevity, DNA protection and anti-cancer effects.

I live in a country where camel milk is everywhere. It’s pasteurized, comes from camels that graze freely, and I drink it almost daily because cow milk doesn’t sit well with me.

We also drink baobab juice mixed and a hibiscus drink regularly. it tastes great and it’s cheap. Green tea is another daily habit, usually multiple times a day. Zrig (a tangy yogurt drink kinda like kefir) is also something we drink often.

These are all things hyped in the West as superfoods, but for us, they’re just normal parts of life.

My diet is mostly home-cooked meals: rice or tagines with meat or chicken at every meal. On Saturdays, we have fish with rice. We eat camel or goat liver when there’s a slaughter or a wedding, which happens once or twice a month.

Processed food? Not really, except white rice and the white flour used to make bakery bread count and white sugar. We eat very little packaged food otherwise.

But here’s the kicker: I recently did a blood test and found out I’m low in: • Vitamin D (despite the sun, we avoid it because it’s too hot) • Iron very low . Ferritin low • B12 low despite high meat and organ diet • Omega-3 to omega-6 is off too (fish only once a week, I guess)

Also, I should mention: we add white sugar to pretty much all our drinks. Always have.

So now I’m thinking: is the whole superfood thing just clever marketing ?

EDIT: forgot to add. We eat fatty camel hump with the liver. The meat is mostly same day slaughtered goat meat or camel meat and has fat in it. We don’t skim it. We rarely eat fruits though since it is expensive. Vegetable yes, as part of the tagine and rice. Bone broth is also common as a side dish.

Vitamin C is one of the most well-studied and essential micronutrients - involved in everything from collagen synthesis and immune function to neurotransmitter production and antioxidant defence. It’s water-soluble, which means your body doesn’t store it, and traditional supplements are poorly absorbed in high doses. A lot of it gets excreted before your body can even use it. That’s where liposomal delivery changes the game: by encapsulating vitamin C in phospholipid vesicles, you can dramatically increase uptake and maintain blood levels that rival intravenous doses without needles, without cost, and without corporate markup.

I’ve just made my own liposomal vitamin C using the Mozafari method, and I’m honestly a bit shocked more people aren’t doing this already.

For those unfamiliar, liposomal C has a radically higher bioavailability than regular ascorbic acid. You’re not just swallowing powder and hoping for the best - the vitamin is encapsulated in tiny phospholipid vesicles, similar to how your own cell membranes are structured. That means it skips the usual digestive attrition and gets into the bloodstream far more effectively. Several studies suggest it’s comparable to IV vitamin C for blood plasma levels.

What I’ve made is a 300ml batch containing 30g of vitamin C (80% ascorbic acid, 20% sodium ascorbate for buffering). That works out to 100mg per ml. I’m using 10ml oral syringes for convenience which gives me a solid 1000mg liposomal dose each day.

Equipment-wise, I grabbed a magnetic stirrer hotplate, a 500ml glass beaker, a digital probe thermometer, and a stir bar. Ingredients were distilled water, sunflower lecithin (liquid), ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, vegetable glycerin, and a few drops of food-grade orange oil. Stirring at around 60°C for about an hour - this is the Mozafari method, no sonication needed.

Here’s a solid discussion and source for the method itself: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Homemade_liposomes_improvisation_or_mass_delusion

Cost-wise? About $170 USD in gear and ingredients to start. That gets me enough raw materials to make multiple years’ worth of liposomal C. Each 1000mg dose now costs me under 10 cents. For comparison, Cymbiotika charges $50 for 30 doses. That’s $1.67 a hit. So yes, we’re talking about saving $500+ a year, with better control and less packaging.

This batch tastes better than I expected - citrusy, tart, and very smooth. No gut upset like I sometimes get with high-dose ascorbic acid. Glycerin and pectin (optional) really help mellow the delivery and give it a soft syrupy texture, like Cymbiotika’s pouch version but cleaner.

I’ll post the full recipe and methodology if anyone’s keen to try it. Happy to answer questions on stability, storage, or process tweaks.
